Ham And Yukon Gold Potato Cakes Recipes

TROPICAL FRUIT-GLAZED HAM WITH SWEET ONIONS AND YUKON GOLD POTATOES

Steps:

• Place the potatoes in a large saucepan and add enough water to cover. Set over high heat, bring to a boil, and boil until the potatoes are fork-tender, about 8 minutes. Drain and set aside.
• Meanwhile, heat the oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the onion and cook, stirring, until softened, about 3 minutes. Add the fruit along with the juice from the can, the brown sugar, soy sauce, and pepper, bring to a simmer, and simmer until the liquid thickens and reduces slightly, about 5 minutes. Add the ham slices and potatoes and simmer for 2 minutes to heat through. Serve.

BAKED HAM & CHIVE MASHED POTATO CAKES

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 400 degrees F. Peel potatoes (if desired) and place in large sauce pot and cover with cold water by 1 inch. Bring to a boil and reduce to simmer, cooking for 30-35 minutes or until potatoes are tender-soft.
• Meanwhile, in skillet over medium-high heat, melt 2 tablespoons butter and cook onion for 10-12 minutes or until soft and translucent. Drain potatoes thoroughly and place in large bowl with remaining butter, salt and pepper. With mixer or potato masher, blend potatoes and butter until mixed while retaining a slightly chunky texture. Fold in cooked onion, eggs, ham and chives.
• Line baking sheet with parchment or lightly grease. In ring mold or biscuit cutter, sprinkle bottom interior with bread crumbs and fill mold with potato mixture until top is slightly rounded, topping again with bread crumbs. Remove ring and repeat with remaining potato mixture, spacing cakes about 1 inch apart. Bake for 20-30 minutes or until tops are golden brown and beginning to crisp. Top with Parmesan cheese and serve hot.

HAM AND YUKON GOLD POTATO CAKES

Steps:

• Melt 2 tablespoons butter in large nonstick skillet over medium heat. Add leeks and thyme; sauté until leeks begin to soften, about 4 minutes. Cover; reduce heat to low. Cook until leeks are tender, stirring often, about 8 minutes. Add sugar; sauté uncovered until leeks are very soft, about 4 minutes. Transfer to medium bowl; cool. (Can be made 6 hours ahead. Cover; chill. Bring to room temperature before using.)
• Preheat oven to 250°F. Place large rimmed baking sheet in oven. Mix potatoes, ham, flour, egg, salt, and pepper into leek mixture in medium bowl. Melt 2 tablespoons butter in large nonstick skillet over medium heat. Working in batches, add potato mixture by 1/4 cupfuls to skillet; flatten each to 3- to 3 1/2-inch round. Sauté until brown and cooked through, about 4 minutes per side. Transfer potato cakes to baking sheet and keep warm in oven while preparing remaining potato cakes. Add more butter to skillet as needed for each batch. (Potato cakes can be made 2 hours ahead. Let stand at room temperature. Before serving, rewarm in 250°F oven about 10 minutes.) Serve hot.
