Ingredients
- 5 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 1 1/2 pounds boiling potatoes, peeled and 1/2-inch diced
- 1 1/2 cups chopped yellow onions (2 onions)
- 2 teaspoons kosher salt
- 1 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
- 2 tablespoons minced fresh flat-leaf parsley
- 2 tablespoons minced scallions, white and green parts
- 1/2 pound smoked ham slices, 1/2-inch diced
Instructions
- Melt the butter in a large (10 to 12-inch) saute pan. Add the potatoes, onions, salt, and pepper and cook over medium-low heat for 15 to 20 minutes, turning occasionally with a flat spatula, until the potatoes are evenly browned and cooked through. (Allow the potatoes to cook for 5 minutes before turning.) Turn off the heat and add the parsley, scallions and ham. Reheat on top of the stove or over a hot charcoal grill.
- Cook’s Note: Use any leftover potatoes in Potato Basil Frittata (see recipe) for lunch.
- You can peel and dice the potatoes early and keep them in the refrigerator in a bowl of cold water. Drain them and dry them well with paper towels before frying.

Great flavor, I’d never thought about adding Ham. What a difference it made. Ina another winner. Sunday brunch at my house was elevated yet another notch. This is going to be great on Christmas morning.
This is a good basic hash brown recipe. Nothing particularly exciting, but a good go-to hash. And I didn’t find it dry at all, even using less butter than stated. Would hold back on half the salt until after adding the ham, then adjust.
love it!
Made this recipe, but used it as a side dish for my spinach and cheese omelet actually for our lunch, it can be added to on a whim and is delicious, thanks again, Ina, love your show, and you have a gorgeous home and grounds!!
After reading these rave reviews I thought to myself: this is the recipe for me! Buttttt all it is is dry, fried, cubed potatoesd and ham . ??? Why do these people like it so much It’s a mystery….
I used red potatoes, pancetta, red peppers, cubanelles, garlic, and cajun seasoning just because everything is better with cajun seasoning. It was a real nice kick to this recipe, which is already fantastic the way it is.
just finished this wonderful dish, just wish i had made extra for tomorrow! so good and easy—-used both a little ham(left over) and a little bacon(left over), then fried a soft cooked egg and placed over the hashed browns—oh my goodness—served with a fresh fruit salad for my dinner—-toasted a left over biscuit with honey butter to go with the salad. what more could on want. the COUNTRY HASHED BROWNS ARE FABULOUS!
This was quick and easy and very tasty. I used bacon instead of ham. Used the bacon drippings with some butter and it was quite tasty. Definately a keeper.
I’ve done these I think for every meal. At breakfast with eggs and bacon. At dinner to go with baked chicken…. when I wanna “kick it up a notch”, I sprinkle some garlic powder and crushed red pepper.
My husband is a fan of hashed brown. I try this recipe today, it turns out fabulous. Hashed browns are crispy, very delicious. Can make in batchs and refrige, put in oven few minutes when eating. It’s great.
