Ingredients
| Quantity | Ingredient |
|---|---|
| 2 tbsp | Butter |
| 2 | Onions |
| 1 1/2 cups | Cooked ham |
| 1 3/4 cups | Frozen hash browns |
| 4 tsp | Dried oregano |
| 1 tsp | Thyme |
| 3/4 cup | Green chilies |
| 2 | Green onions |
Instructions
-
Saute Onions: In a large skillet, heat oil and butter over medium-high heat until sizzling. Add the onions and sauté until golden brown.
-
Add Ham and Potatoes: Once the onions are caramelized, stir in the cooked ham and frozen hash browns. Sprinkle with dried oregano, thyme, and Cajun seasoning.
-
Cover and Cook: Cover the skillet and let it cook over medium heat for about 8 minutes. This allows the flavors to meld and the potatoes to cook through.
-
Uncover and Add Chilies: Remove the cover and add the green chilies to the skillet. Continue cooking until the potatoes are tender and browned, creating a crispy crust on the bottom.
-
Scrape and Stir: Stir the hash, scraping up any browned bits from the bottom of the skillet. If needed, add more oil to prevent sticking.
-
Final Touch: Toss in the chopped green onions, adjust the seasonings according to your taste preferences, and cook for an additional 2 minutes to let the flavors marry.
