So when I was a kid we would go to Village Inn and they had this skillet and it was called the Ham & Cheese skillet, So when I would go I would get it every time. It was potatoes, ham, onion, cheese and topped with eggs cooked the way you liked (scrabbled of course). So I recreated this skillet at home many times, and here is another version of it…
So start with potatoes, I had Russet Potatoes, but Red or yellow potatoes work too…
Peel and wash the potatoes, I ended up with about 6 potatoes, then chop them into bite size chunks
then you will also need:
One onion, chopped into small chunks
green bell pepper, chopped into small chunks
ham steak, chopped into small chunks
Cajun seasoning (or you could just use salt & pepper or garlic salt, whatever you like)
extra sharp cheddar cheese, grated
5 eggs
vegetable oil
so start with grabbing a large skillet and heat your burner to medium heat and coat the bottom of the pan with the oil
let the oil warm up a little 1-2 minutes, then add in your chopped potatoes
season them, to taste with the Cajun seasoning
you can never have too much cajun seasoning
then add in the chopped onion (I had to change skillets at this point because the skillet I was using the potatoes stuck too, so I switched to my cast iron skillet)
stir the onion in with the potato and let cook 5-7 minutes, until onions are translucent
next add in the chopped ham
stir the ham in with the potatoes and onion
Now add in the chopped green bell pepper
stir everything together
let everything cook together for 12-15 minutes, stirring and flipping everything occasionally, making sure everything is cooked, and that the potatoes are nice and fork tender
while that cooks, go ahead and grab a medium bowl and crack your eggs in it
Now add a little milk to the eggs, and salt and pepper, to taste
whip everything together.
now grab a medium, non stick skillet and heat that to medium low heat, coat the bottom of the pan with about a tbsp of butter, then add the eggs in
w
scrabble the eggs. I like mine nice and light and fluffy and a little runny
once the potatoes are cooked and the eggs are done
grab a plate and add desired amount of potatoes and then top with some eggs
and grate desired amount of cheese over the top
and eat up!
