Cheesy Ontario Hashbrown Potatoes
Hash is traditionally a way to use up leftover cooked potatoes and meat. It can be served for breakfast or brunch with fried eggs or as an easy supper dish with green salad and crusty whole grain bread.
Ingredients
Servings
- 4-5 Medium Ontario Potatoes (Roughly 4 Cups) Chopped and Cooked
- 1 Tbsp. Butter or Vegetable Oil
- 1 Onion, Chopped
- 1/2 Ontario Greenhouse Sweet Red or Yellow Pepper, Chopped
- 1/2 Ci[ Diced Ham
- 1/4 Tsp. Each Dried Thyme Leaves & Pepper
- 1 Cup Grated Aged Cheddar Cheese
Instructions
Step 1
Place potatoes in a pot of cold water. Bring to a boil, reduce heat and cook until tender but still hold their shape, about 20 minutes. Drain and when cool enough to handle, chop (leave skin on for added fibre).Step 2
In an ovenproof 10 inch (25 cm) skillet, melt butter over medium heat. Add onion and pepper and cook until softened, about 4 minutes. Stir in potatoes, ham, thyme and pepper and cook until lightly browned and heated through, 5 to 8 minutes, stirring often. Reduce heat as necessary to prevent burning.Step 3
Remove from heat, sprinkle with cheese and place under broiler. Broil until cheese melted, 2 to 3 minutes. Let stand a few minutes before serving.
Tip:
If skillet handle is plastic, wrap in foil.
This works best with round white potatoes rather than long potatoes (baking potatoes) as they keep their shape.
