Ingredients
  

  • 2 pounds potatoes peeled and quartered
  • 1 cup cooked ham diced
  • 1 medium onion finely chopped
  • 3 cups chicken broth
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon paprika
  • salt and pepper to taste
  • 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
  • fresh parsley chopped, for garnish

Instructions
 

  • In a large pot or Dutch oven, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the onions and cook until they are soft and translucent, about 5 minutes.
  • Toss in the diced ham and cook with the onions for an additional 2–3 minutes, just to let the flavors start melding together.
  • Carefully add the potatoes to the pot. Sprinkle over the garlic powder, paprika, salt, and pepper, giving everything a good stir to coat.
  • Pour in the chicken broth, ensuring that the potatoes are covered. If needed, add a little water to fully submerge the potatoes.
  • Increase the heat to high and bring the mixture to a boil. Once boiling, reduce the heat to a simmer, cover, and cook for about 20–25 minutes, or until the potatoes are tender.
  • Check the seasoning and adjust to your taste. For a thicker broth, mash a few potatoes gently into the mixture.
  • Serve hot, garnished with a sprinkle of fresh parsley.

Notes

Try using Yukon Gold or red potatoes for extra creaminess. This dish pairs wonderfully with cornbread or green beans on the side.
