Skillet Ham And Cheesy Potatoes

A comforting one-skillet dish made with tender potatoes, savory ham, sweet onions, and melty cheddar cheese—perfect for weeknight dinners or weekend brunches.

Ingredients
  

  • 1 lb ham diced
  • 5 medium potatoes peeled and thinly sliced
  • 1 onion chopped
  • 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
  • ½ cup milk
  • ¼ cup butter
  • Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions
 

  • Heat a large skillet over medium heat. Add diced ham and cook for 4–5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until golden brown on the edges.
  • Stir in sliced potatoes and chopped onion. Cover and cook for 15–20 minutes, stirring occasionally, until potatoes are tender and onions are soft.
  • In a small saucepan, melt butter over medium heat. Stir in milk and heat for 2–3 minutes until warm but not boiling.
  • Pour the warm butter-milk mixture over the potato and ham mixture. Sprinkle cheddar cheese on top. Cover and cook for 5 more minutes until cheese is melted and gooey.
  • Add salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste. Serve hot straight from the skillet.
