Ham and Eggs, with Hash Browns

A guilty pleasure. Breaded ham trimmings bought from Aldi, with hash browns made from flat cut raw potato, fried in a little sunflower oil under glass.

Normally hash browns are made from potatoes which have been boiled previously. Which means they are already cooked, and it is a matter of heating and browning. Cooking the raw potato from scratch can take up to twenty minutes at a medium heat. So start with those before beginning to fry the eggs. Turn the potato pieces a couple of times.

The ham was served cold. The ham was taken from the fridge a couple of hours before the meal was prepared, and allowed to reach room temperature.

Serve with black pepper and mustard according to taste.

This works as well with poached or scrambled eggs.
