Recipe Thursday | Ham ‘n Potato Soup

Ham 'n Potato Soup by DeDe Smith
This week’s Recipe | Ham ‘n Potato Soup by DeDe Smith
My husband’s mom has a ham and potato soup that he LOVES and this is my version of the soup. I like more flavor to my soups so I use chicken broth. This soup is different than most ham and potato soups in that it is brothy instead of creamy. Most potato soups that I know is thicker and has milk in it. So this was a great change and I actually really liked it! Serve with some french bread or rolls!

The perfect Winter soup with great flavor and comfort for your tummy!

Growing up in a small town and really close to the schools, I mostly walked home for lunch. But we really did have great cooks for our school lunches. This was one of the lunches that I enjoyed, when I did get school lunch. It’s easy and yummy and a great way to use up leftover mashed potatoes.

Easy and yummy with hot dogs, mashed potatoes, and cheese!

Recipe Thursday | Hobo Dinner

Hobo Dinner by DeDe Smith
This week’s Recipe | Hobo Dinner by DeDe Smith
I love dutch oven potatoes. I grew up having lots of cook-outs on the family ranch! You can’t fully duplicate the taste of this meal cooked over the fire and in a dutch oven – but you can get close! This is a version of the dutch oven potatoes, but cooked at home in your casserole dish! You can also wrap up this mixture in a tin foil packet and cook it over the fire! Great comfort food and perfect for family time!

The ideal meat and potatoes meal!

Instructions

Slice a layer off the top of each potato. Use a spoon to gently scoop out insides, leaving a thin layer of potato against the skin and avoiding puncturing the bottom. Reserve scooped potato for another use.

Brush inside of each potato with melted butter and sprinkle with a little salt and pepper. Sprinkle a layer of shredded cheese into each potato and add fillings as desired (vegetables, diced meat, etc.) Fill each potato about 3/4 full. Crack one egg into each potato. Sprinkle with a little more salt and pepper. Top with additional cheese and toppings if desired.

Place potatoes on a baking sheet and cook for about 20 minutes on 350 degrees. Egg whites should be set and yolks soft.

Potato Puffs:

What to do with leftover potato pulp?: Make some potato “puffs”…

Add an egg to the leftover potato pulp, ham, chives, cheese….Mix thoroughly. Place in buttered mini muffin tins… sprinkle with extra cheese and chives. Bake at 350 until nicely puffed…
