Instructions

Step 1

Add diced potatoes to a medium pot. Cover with water and add a pinch of salt. Bring to a boil and let cook until potatoes are just tender, about 5-7 minutes. Drain and rinse with cold water. Skip this step if using leftover roasted potatoes.

Step 2

Meanwhile heat oil in a large well seasoned cast iron or nonstick skillet over medium heat. Add onion and pepper, and cook until softened, about 8 minutes. Add diced ham and cook until it begins to get crispy. Stir in chili powder, garlic, salt and pepper

Step 3

Move the mixture to the edges of the pan and melt the butter. Add the potatoes, and cook until starting to get crispy. Flip the potatoes with a spatula and cook on the other side.

Step 4

Stir hash together and season to taste with additional salt and pepper.

Step 5

Serve and top with a fried egg, if desired.
