Ingredients
- 2 cups diced ham
- 4 medium potatoes, diced
- 1 onion, chopped
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- Salt to taste

- Fresh parsley for garnish
Instructions
- Begin by gathering all your ingredients: 2 cups of diced ham, 4 medium potatoes diced into bite-sized pieces, 1 onion chopped, 2 tablespoons of olive oil, salt, pepper, and fresh parsley for garnish.
- Wash and peel the potatoes, then cut them into uniform 1-inch cubes to ensure even cooking.
- Chop the onion finely and set it aside. This will add flavor to the dish.
- In a large skillet, heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil over medium heat. Allow the oil to warm for about 1 minute.
- Add the chopped onion to the skillet and sauté for 3-4 minutes until it becomes translucent and fragrant.
- Once the onion is softened, add the diced potatoes to the skillet. Stir well to combine with the onion.
- Season the potatoes with salt and pepper to taste, and continue to cook for about 10-12 minutes, stirring occasionally. This will help the potatoes become golden brown and tender.
- After the potatoes are nearly cooked through and starting to brown, add the diced ham to the skillet. Stir to combine.
- Cook for an additional 5-7 minutes, allowing the ham to heat through and the flavors to meld together. Stir occasionally to prevent sticking.
- Once everything is cooked and nicely browned, remove the skillet from heat.
- Garnish with freshly chopped parsley before serving to add a pop of color and freshness to the dish.
- Serve hot as a satisfying main dish or a hearty side, and enjoy your delicious Ham and Potatoes Skillet Sauté!
