Okay, so I know spam has a bad wrap with some people. Canned meat? Yes! Canned meat can taste good. I'm not a fan of spam by itself but in these breakfast potatoes, it's really good.
1 can of spam can go a long way so I normally only use half the can or even a third and save the rest for later. But I would say to use about 10 small or 8 large potatoes per 1 can of spam. So, you may want to half the recipe if you're only serving a few people. Another option, especially for those of you in college, is to make the full amount and then save the rest for a quick burrito on the way to class. Be careful though, you might want to hide it in the back of your fridge before you're roommates eat it all!
Here's a side note, this is only a guideline! Be your own chef! Add more or less potatoes or spam, it's all good :-)
-Peel and dice 8 potatoes
-Dice 1 can of spam
-Heat up a large nonstick skillet over medium heat and put about 3 Tbs of vegetable oil ( you need enough to just coat the bottom of the pan and the potatoes otherwise the potatoes will begin to stick and become mushy)
-Add your potatoes, spam, and salt and pepper to taste
-Stir once to coat everything with the veg. oil and then cover and lower the heat.
-Let it cook for about 10-15 minutes until the potatoes are fork tender
-remove the lid and flip the mixture over, it should be nice and brown
-now just cook the other side till it's crisp and golden brown and you're done!
This is really good in a burrito. To spice it up even more add your favorite hot sauce, beans, and maybe some scrambled eggs. Enjoy!

Hi dahling! another way to cook SPAM...bake it!! Using a loaf pan, lined with foil,score a SPAM loaf as you would a ham. Mix together 2 TBL brown sugar, 1/2 tsp of mustard and a teenie bit of vinegar. Drizzle the mixture over the scored SPAM. Poke some cloves onto the top of the SPAM..as you would baking a ham. Heat in oven at 350 degrees for 30 -40 minutes.
ReplyDeleteYUMMY to the tummy! Tastes just like a baked ham!
