Ingredients

2 pounds russet potatoes, diced into 1-inch cubes
2 tablespoons white vinegar
1 tablespoon plus 1 teaspoon salt, divided
2 tablespoons olive oil, divided
¾ pound deli ham, diced
1 red bell pepper, seeded, and diced
2 Granny Smith apples, peeled, cored, and diced
2-3 tablespoons green onions, chopped
2-3 tablespoons unsalted butter
2 tablespoons fresh sage, chopped
¾ teaspoon red chili flakes
¼ teaspoon cayenne pepper
1 teaspoon black pepper

Instructions

Place the diced potatoes in a large pot and fill with water to about 1 inch above the potatoes. Add white vinegar and 1 tablespoon salt. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat to medium and cook potatoes for about 8 to 10 minutes, or until fork-tender.
Heat 1 tablespoon oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the diced ham and sear until golden brown on the sides, about 5 minutes. Transfer ham to a plate and set aside.
Heat remaining 1 tablespoon oil in the same skillet over medium-high. Drain potatoes and carefully transfer them to the skillet. Sear for about 10 to 15 minutes, or until potatoes are brown and crispy on all sides.
Add the cooked ham, bell pepper, apples, green onions, butter, sage, chili flakes, cayenne, and black pepper. Stir to combine and continue cooking for 5 minutes.
Serve hash warm garnished with additional sage and green onion, if desired.
