David Venable

This super-flavorful and easy-to-make recipe can be served as your main entree or as a delicious side to your favorite meal.

Ingredients

  • 5 medium potatoes, peeled and diced
  • 3 Tbsp butter
  • 1 large onion, diced
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 tsp paprika (preferably smoked)
  • 6 cups smoked ham, diced
  • 1 cup chicken broth
  • 10-oz can cream of mushroom soup
  • 1 bunch scallions, sliced
  • Salt and pepper, to taste
  • 2 cups sharp cheddar cheese, shredded
  • 3/4 cup coarse breadcrumbs (such as Panko)
  • 3 Tbsp fresh parsley, chopped

Directions

Preheat oven to 350°F.
In a large sauce pot, boil the potatoes until fork tender. Drain the water and set aside.
Add the butter to a 10'' (or larger) deep nonstick skillet and melt over medium-high heat. Add the onion and garlic and cook for 3-4 minutes, or until slightly colored. Stir in the paprika and ham. Add the broth, cream of mushroom soup, and scallions. Stir well to combine and bring to a simmer. Add the parboiled potatoes and stir carefully to evenly incorporate all ingredients. Season the hash, to taste, with salt and pepper.
Combine the cheddar cheese, breadcrumbs, and parsley in a small bowl and sprinkle over the top of the hash. Bake for 15-18 minutes, or until evenly browned.

Cook's Notes

Adding hot par-boiled potatoes to the hash will allow the potatoes to absorb more of the liquid right away.|You can substitute just about any cooked/smoked meat in place of the ham.
