Ingredients

Instructions

1. Saute Onions: In a large skillet, heat oil and butter over medium-high heat until sizzling. Add the onions and sauté until golden brown.

2. 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.

3. 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.

4. 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.

5. 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.

6. 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.
