Cajun Hash

Cajun Hash

(We lived in New Orleans for a year and became acquainted with Cajun cooking. There's nothing like it! It is wonderful!)

5 to 6 tablespoons olive oil
4 cups green onions, finely chopped, divided
3 cups diced ham
2 cups red bell pepper, finely chopped
6 cups frozen hash brown potatoes or finely cut potatoes.
4 teaspoons dried thyme
1 1/2 teaspoons Cajun seasoning

Heat large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Add 3 cups green onions, the ham and the bell pepper. Saut until vegetables begin to soften, about 7 minutes.

Add potatoes, thyme, and Cajun seasoning; stir to combine. Reduce heat to medium. Cover and cook 8 minutes.

Uncover and continue cooking until potatoes are tender and crusty, occasionally scraping up browned bits. (add more oil if necessary).

To serve, sprinkle with remaining 1 cup green onions.
