Ham & Apple Breakfast Hash
This easy yet satisfying breakfast hash is the perfect use for leftover ham after a big holiday feast. It hits all the right notes; salty bacon and ham mixed with sweet apples, and a little spice from the cayenne.
Breakfast Hash with Ham, Potatoes & Apples
Ingredients
- 3 cups diced Yukon gold potatoes
- 2/3 cup diced onion
- 1 cup diced apples
- 2 tablespoons fresh thyme
- 2 tablespoons fresh minced garlic
- 1/2 teaspoon cayenne
- 1/2 cup crisped minced bacon
- 2 cups diced ham
- 1/2 stick butter
- Salt and pepper
Instructions
Crisp about 4 strips of bacon in a large saute pan (it should equal about 1/2 cup minced, crisped bacon). Tip off rendered fat.
Dice the potatoes, apples and ham into 1/4 to 1/2 inch cubes. Dice the onion. Mince the garlic. Place a 3-quart pan filled with water over high heat until boiling. Add the potatoes, and cook for 2 minutes. Strain and cool.
Add the butter to the pan that you cooked the bacon in. Brown the onions and potatoes. Add the garlic, thyme, cayenne, salt and pepper. Stir.
