Chips and french fries notwithstanding, my kids are not potato eaters. Which is a total mystery to me because we all know potatoes are magical delicious heavenly food that everyone loves. My husband and I are baffled. I refuse, however, to give up and continue serving potatoes in every form.

My oldest recently relented on mashed potatoes, and my daughter will occasionally let a curried spud pass her lips. But until today, the ability to wow my children with potatoes had been beyond my grasp.
Today, though. Today! We turned a corner! I’m not sure if it was the ham, or garlic, or a magical combination of everything – but my boys gobbled this Ham and Potato Breakfast Bake! I won’t lie to you, Josie ate some, but she mostly just picked out the ham and egg. I’m still calling it a win. I liked it so much I ate it for breakfast *and* lunch.
It’s a one pot wonder, which makes me super happy and it only takes about 45 minutes from start to on the table. Can I get a whoop, WHOOP? Heck, yeh!
