Creamy Ham and Potato Skillet

Ingredients

• Olive oil

  1 tbsp or 14g

• Ham

  sliced, regular, 11% fat

  4 slice or 112g

• Potato

  raw, with skin

  2 cup, diced or 300g

• Heavy whipping cream

  1 cup, fluid or 240g

• Mustard seed

  ground

  1 tsp or 2g

• Garlic powder

  ½ tsp or 2g

• Salt

  table

  ¼ tsp or 2g

• Black pepper

  ground

  ¼ tsp or 0.5g

Directions

1. Warm the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the chopped ham and cook, stirring, until lightly browned and some fat renders, about 2–3 minutes. Transfer the ham to a plate, leaving the fat in the pan.
2. Add the diced potatoes to the skillet and cook, stirring occasionally, until golden and fork-tender, 10–12 minutes. Reduce the heat if they brown too quickly.
3. Return the ham to the pan. Stir in the heavy cream, ground mustard, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper. Reduce the heat to low and simmer, stirring, until the sauce lightly thickens and coats the potatoes, 3–5 minutes.
4. Taste and adjust seasoning as needed, then serve hot.
