Yield Makes 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 5

2 pounds boiling potatoes, peeled and cut into 1 1/2-inch pieces
2 tablespoons unsalted butter
1 tablespoon olive oil
1 cup chopped cooked ham (5 ounces)
3 scallions, chopped

Steps:

  • Cover potatoes with cold water in a 3-to 4-quart saucepan and add 1/2 teaspoon salt. Simmer until tender, about 15 minutes.
  • Meanwhile, melt butter with oil in a heavy medium skillet over medium-high heat, then cook ham, stirring occasionally, until browned, about 5 minutes. Stir in scallions and 1/4 teaspoon pepper and cook 2 minutes.
  • Reserve 1 cup potato-cooking liquid, then drain potatoes and mash. Stir in ham mixture along with enough cooking liquid to reach desired consistency. Season with salt and pepper.
