Roasted potatoes and ham make a hearty, comforting one-pan meal that’s perfect for using up leftover ham. The potatoes turn golden and crisp in the oven while the onions soften and sweeten, adding flavor to every bite.

It’s an easy weeknight option that requires only a handful of ingredients and minimal prep. Serve it as a main dish with a simple green salad or enjoy it as a savory brunch entrée alongside eggs.

Ingredient Notes

• Potatoes – Russets or baking potatoes brown nicely and get crisp edges.
• Ham – Leftover baked ham or thick-cut deli ham both work well.
• Onion – Adds sweetness as it softens during cooking.
• Garlic – A quick sauté boosts flavor.
• Oil or fat – Vegetable oil, duck fat, or ghee all work for browning.
• Parsley – Fresh parsley brightens the dish at the end.

Steps to Make Roasted Potatoes and Ham

1. Heat the oven and lightly grease a baking dish.
2. Brown the sliced potatoes in oil until lightly softened.
3. Cook the ham and onion until the onion is translucent.
4. Add garlic and cook briefly.
5. Combine the potato mixture with parsley, salt, and pepper.
6. Transfer everything to the dish and bake until browned and tender.

Recipe Variations

• Add bell peppers. A cup of diced red or green pepper adds sweetness.
• Use smoked sausage. Replace the ham with sliced smoked sausage.
• Try herbs. Rosemary or thyme pair beautifully with potatoes.
• Make it cheesy. Sprinkle with shredded cheddar during the last 5 minutes.

Serving Suggestions

• Serve with a crisp green salad or roasted vegetables.
• Pair with eggs for a hearty brunch.
• Add a dollop of sour cream or Greek yogurt.
