How to Make Almost Waffle House Hash Browns

Melt 1 tablespoon of margarine in a medium-sized nonstick skillet over medium heat.
Add 1/2 cup chopped onion and 1/2 cup diced ham. Cook until the onion is softened and the ham is heated through, about 5 minutes.
Spread the ham and onion mixture evenly across the skillet. Add another tablespoon of margarine to the center.
Evenly cover the ham and onion mixture with 3 cups of refrigerated shredded potatoes.
Season generously with salt and pepper.
Cover the skillet with a lid and cook for 5-10 minutes, or until the potatoes are starting to brown on the bottom.
Remove the lid. Using a spatula, carefully divide the hash browns into 4 quarters. Flip each quarter to brown the other side. Cook for another 3-5 minutes, or until golden brown and crispy.
Serve immediately with your favorite eggs and toast.
