Flavorful Black Forest ham subtly enriches the hash without taking over. Serve this alongside chicken or duck, or set a poached egg on top for a light meal on its own.

4 servings, about 1/2 cup each | Active Time: 25 minutes | Total Time: 25 minutes

Ingredients

• 1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil
• 1 small onion, thinly sliced
• 1 pound sweet potatoes, (about 2 medium), peeled and coarsely grated
• 1/4 teaspoon salt
• 1/3 cup finely diced Black Forest ham, (2 ounces)
• 1 teaspoon chopped fresh thyme

Preparation

1. Heat oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Add onion and cook, stirring often, until softened and lightly browned, 3 to 4 minutes.
2. Reduce heat to medium and add sweet potatoes and salt. Cook, stirring often, until the potatoes are tender, 4 to 5 minutes. Stir in ham and thyme; cook, stirring, until the ham is heated through, about 1 minute more.
