Easy Ham and Potato Hash

Submitted by Kellogs

"This is an easy dish to make that is great served at any time of day. I sometimes crumble some crispy bacon in there for even more flavour variety! It has a nice zing to it due to the spices but is not overpowering."

Whenever I cook ham, I make extra baked potatoes. Cold previously cooked potatoes make the best fried potatoes or hash dishes. Sometimes I scramble a few eggs and pour over near the end of cooking time and sometimes I leave out the cheese. But, as is, WONDERFUL recipe. Thank you!

My teenage daughter calls this "the best food on the planet"! The only changes I made were that I cooked up 4-6 chopped slices of bacon then cooked the potatoes, onions etc. in the bacon drippings instead of the oil and butter. Add the bacon back to the mix at the end. This is great as a breakfast with pancakes. Even better when the syrup runs into the hash...YUMM!

"Now you're talking" was my husband's reply to "Hash for dinner?" Thanks for the recipe!

My husband said, "Mom gets an A." I added a few pepperoni rounds that were hanging out in our meat drawer, and added minced garlic, as well.

Quick, easy and very tasty! Great on it's own. Would be fabulous with an egg on top, soft yolk, of course. The cheese is not needed. There is plenty of flavor without it and it does not really add to it.
