Ingredients
Scale
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 cup leftover cooked ham, diced
- 1 cup diced cooked potatoes (use leftover roasted potatoes if you have them)
- 1/2 cup diced onion
- 1/2 cup diced bell pepper (any color)
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1/4 teaspoon smoked paprika
- Salt and black pepper to taste
- 4 large eggs
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)
Instructions
- Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat.
- Add the diced ham and cook until it starts to brown slightly, about 3 minutes.
- Add the diced potatoes, onion, and bell pepper to the skillet. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the vegetables soften and the potatoes get crispy edges, about 8 to 10 minutes.
- Stir in the minced garlic and smoked paprika. Cook for 1 minute until fragrant. Season with salt and pepper.
- Create four small wells in the hash mixture. Crack one egg into each well.
- Cover the skillet and cook until the egg whites are set but the yolks are still runny, about 4 to 6 minutes, depending on your preference.
- Remove from heat. Sprinkle with fresh parsley before serving immediately.
Notes
- If you use raw potatoes instead of cooked leftovers, boil or microwave them until just tender before dicing and adding them to the skillet.
- Feel free to add other leftover vegetables like cooked carrots or mushrooms.
- For an extra kick, add a dash of hot sauce over your finished hash.
- This recipe works well with any leftover cooked meat, not just ham.
