Ham, Apple & Cheddar Baked Potato Skillet

Ingredients

• 1 lb diced ham cubes
• 1.5 lbs creamer potatoes, halved or quartered if large
• 2 medium tart apples, cored and diced (about 2 cups)
• 1 medium yellow onion, chopped
• 2 tbsp olive oil, divided
• 1/2 cup Swanson chicken broth
• 1/2 tsp dried thyme
• 1/4 tsp black pepper
• 1/2 tsp kosher salt, plus more to taste
• 1 1/4 cups shredded sharp cheddar cheese
• 2 tbsp chopped fresh parsley (optional)

Steps

1. Preheat oven to 400°F. Place rack in upper third. Heat 1 tbsp olive oil in a large (12-inch) ovenproof skillet over medium-high. Add potatoes and 1/2 tsp salt. Cook, stirring occasionally, until starting to brown, 5–7 minutes.
2. Push potatoes to the edges. Add 1 tbsp olive oil and onions to center. Cook, stirring, until onions soften, 3 minutes.
3. Add diced ham and apples. Cook, stirring, until apples are just starting to soften, 2–3 minutes.
4. Stir in thyme and pepper. Pour in the chicken broth and use a spatula to scrape up any browned bits from the pan. Spread everything evenly in skillet.
5. Sprinkle cheddar evenly over the top. Transfer skillet to oven and bake uncovered until potatoes are tender and cheese is golden and bubbling, about 20–25 minutes.
6. Remove from oven and let stand 5 minutes. Top with parsley if using. Serve hot.
