Tips & Substitutions
For a richer flavor, consider using leftover holiday ham. When browning the ham, ensure it gets a nice caramelization by cooking over medium heat. If you're short on time, frozen hash browns can be used instead of slicing fresh potatoes. To enhance the dish, add some garlic or bell peppers. For a lighter option, you might substitute the cream soup with a homemade vegetable broth.
Serving Suggestions
Serve this hearty ham and potato skillet with a side of steamed vegetables or a fresh garden salad for a balanced meal. It pairs beautifully with French Dressing Green Beans for a colorful plate. For a complete breakfast option, consider serving it alongside scrambled eggs. Enjoy it with crusty bread to soak up the delicious sauce.
Storage & Reheating
Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. To reheat, simply place in a skillet over low heat, stirring occasionally until warmed through. Alternatively, you can microwave in a covered dish, adding a splash of milk to keep it moist. Do not freeze, as potatoes can become grainy when thawed.
