Fresh Ham and Potato Hash Breakfast
This easy-to-make fresh ham and potato hash breakfast is made with maple-cured nitrate-free ham for a healthy, hearty start to your day. The authentic ham gives this a deep umami flavor while the veggies add freshness to the dish.
This is quick to make with leftover Maple Brined Fresh Ham Steak! The steak is home-cured, resulting in a nitrate-free ham steak. Fresh ham has an umami-rich pork flavor profile, while the salty-sweet brine gives this steak another layer of flavor. This gives your breakfast hash an authentic umami flavor, making this a memorable dish.
Fresh ham steak is both delicious and versatile. Because of this, you will find it can be incorporated into various dishes. We love to make them into fresh ham steak sandwiches and sliders for gamedays and parties. Size up and make a large roast to feed a crowd. It doesn’t take any additional work outside of slicing!

De Froid Tip: Glass Choice
Changing up your juice glass is a simple way to bring excitement and fun to your breakfast table. Imagine sitting down to a champagne flute filled with juice and topped off with sparkling water. What would it feel like to have a comforting breakfast casserole with your juice served in a mason jar?
Think about the emotion and experience you want your family and guests to have. The most uncomplicated swap in tableware can bring a new feel to a meal. These thoughtful changes can make sweet memorable moments that last a lifetime for the humans in your life.
Welcome to Foodie de Froid!
If you love real food, take pleasure in eating, and strive for mouth-watering flavor, you have come to the right place. Here the star of the show IS the food, presenting it in a way that makes it shine.
Tasting Experiences
We feature many appetizers and individual-sized recipes as a purposeful way to experience and share food.
Our mouth reacts to flavors in a transitional way. That first taste creates an exciting experience with the food’s intense flavors, textures, and visual appeal. Yet after the first few bites, our mouths and minds adjust, and that experience deadens.
Thus, the tasting experience! We served 14 consecutive courses at my last tasting party. Each was purposely selected to bring new flavors, textures, and presentations, creating surprises and wow moments throughout the night.
The Recipes
The recipes are documented with ingredients we love. Yet my greatest hope is to have you understand why the recipes work and eventually make them into your personal version using your favorite ingredients and presentations.
