Ingredients

4 Yukon gold potatoes, cubed 1 cup frozen corn olive oil 1 teaspoon garlic powder ½ teaspoon salt ½ teaspoon chili powder ½ teaspoon dried oregano ½ teaspoon dried marjoram ¼ teaspoon ground paprika ¼ teaspoon ground cinnamon 1 pinch ground black pepper 2 cups cubed cooked spiral ham

02 / HOW TO MAKE IT

Let's cook.

Step 1

Start by putting the potatoes in a microwave-safe bowl and covering them with water. Toss in the corn as well. Microwave everything on high for about 5 minutes, give it a good stir, then microwave for another 5 minutes. Once done, drain off the water.

Step 2

Heat some olive oil in a saucepan over medium heat. Add the garlic and let it sizzle for a minute before adding the potatoes and corn. Stir everything so it’s nicely coated with the oil.

Step 3

Sprinkle in the garlic powder, salt, chili powder, oregano, marjoram, paprika, cinnamon, and black pepper. Keep cooking, stirring occasionally, until the potatoes are tender and golden brown around the edges—this should take about 10 minutes.
