Ingredients
Instructions
- Place butter in a heated skillet and allow it to melt.

- There is no need to add salt to the potatoes, as the flavor from the ham will enhance their taste.
Tips & Substitutions
For added flavor, consider incorporating some diced onions or bell peppers along with the potatoes. If you're short on time, you can use pre-cooked ham or even substitute with a vegetarian option like smoked tofu. Cooking the dish in a Dutch oven can also help retain moisture and enhance the flavors, similar to how we achieve rich flavors in dishes like Asparagus Rice Casserole.
Serving Suggestions
This hearty dish pairs beautifully with a fresh garden salad or steamed green vegetables for a balanced meal. For a comforting twist, serve it alongside a side of Mashed Potatoes Plus for extra creaminess. It's perfect for family dinners or casual gatherings, offering a satisfying, all-in-one meal that everyone will enjoy.
Storage & Reheating
Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. To reheat, place the dish in a skillet over low heat, adding a splash of water to prevent sticking. Cover it to steam the potatoes slightly, ensuring they remain moist. You can also use the microwave, but be mindful to cover it to maintain moisture.
