Description

These Ham and Potato Pancakes are a delightful twist on traditional hash browns, combining the crispiness of fried potatoes with the savory richness of chopped ham. The addition of fresh chives and parsley adds a bright, aromatic note that cuts through the richness of the fried batter. Perfect for a leisurely weekend brunch or a quick, satisfying weekday breakfast, these pancakes are easy to make and universally loved. They offer a wonderful contrast between the crunchy exterior and the tender, steamy interior. Serve them hot from the pan with a side of maple syrup for a sweet-savory experience, or pair them with fruit and coffee for a balanced morning meal. Simple ingredients come together to create a comforting dish that brings home-style warmth to your table.

Ingredients

Directions

  1. Peel and grate the potatoes, then squeeze out all excess moisture using a clean kitchen towel or cheesecloth until you have about 3 cups of dry potato shreds.
  2. In a medium mixing bowl, combine the drained potatoes, 1 cup chopped cooked ham, 1/3 cup chopped chives or green onions, 1/4 cup chopped fresh parsley, 1 egg, and 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour.
  3. Season the mixture generously with salt and freshly ground black pepper, mixing until all ingredients are evenly distributed.
  4. Heat 3 tablespoons of vegetable oil in a heavy large skillet over medium heat until shimmering but not smoking.
  5. Drop 1/4-cup portions of the potato mixture into the hot skillet, flattening them slightly with a spatula to form pancakes.
  6. Fry the pancakes in batches for about 3 minutes per side, or until they are golden brown and cooked through, adding more oil to the pan as needed between batches.
  7. Transfer the cooked pancakes to a baking sheet lined with paper towels to drain briefly before serving warm.
