3 red potatoes medium
3 to 4 tablespoons vegetable oil or margarine
3/4 teaspoon salt
1/8 teaspoon black pepper
3/4 cup ham diced cooked or roast beef
1 to 2 tablespoons chives chopped or fresh parsley
4 eggs
Preheat oven to 200°.
Peel and dice potatoes (you will have about 4 cups). Pat dry with paper towels.
In a large non-stick skillet over medium-high heat, heat 2 tablespoons of the oil. Add potatoes, turning to coat. Sprinkle with salt and pepper. Reduce heat to medium. Cook for 15 to 20 minutes or until crisp and golden brown, turning several times. Push potatoes to one side.
Add 1 tablespoon oil if needed. Add meat. Sauté until lightly browned. Stir into potatoes. Transfer mixture to an ovenproof platter. Sprinkle with chives. Place, uncovered, in oven to keep warm.
Wipe out skillet. Over medium heat, heat remaining 1 tablespoon oil. Fry eggs. With the back of a spoon, make four indentations in hash and place an egg in each. Or, serve eggs separately. Serve immediately.
Serve with fresh fruit, green pepper strips and cucumber slices.
