Ain't the only way but it's the *best* way... in a large fry pan...
fried in butter, with six eggs surrounding. Serves two, or me. And I
don't want to hear about any fercocktah grits or stinkin' red eye
gravy. Hash browns, okay.

I like it on the grill, especially if it is for dinner. Next would be in a
fairly hot cast iron pan. Put a little butter in the pan

Cotes de Porc Charcutiere is then probly even of less interest to you
than the aforementioned "fercocktah" grits? Though an ordinary
Crepinette made with pork sausage and brandy is quite good.

Fried in lard, then served with boiled new potatoes, and either garden peas or
baked beans, but you've got to pour the fat out of the pan all over the
potatoes. Liberally add HP sauce to taste
(A must in the Yorkshire)

Grits would be "OK", but you've got it. Hash browns are much better.
*NOT* home-fries, either. Real Hash browns.

What do you define as "Real" Hash Browns?

Shoot, I just put it in a saute pan, and when I flip it, I put on the old
brown sugar and pineapple slices. Don't forget, you're just heating
it through.

I've got one for tonight. it is fresh ham (not smoked or cured) and my plan
is to rub it with adobo seasoning and grill.

If it's not very thick, how about grilled ham and cheese sandwiches on
large slices of sourdough, with a hot German potato salad? -aem

Yeah, but... you pay a big premium per-pound for "Ham steak" (like
triple), and then to dice em up is just stupid. You can buy a whole
butt half for the price of just two steaks, same brand, same quality...
it'll give you four thick steaks and plenty to cut into chunks for
soups, salad, omelets, etc... plus the bone for a pot of beans.

True, but as i only use small amounts of porc and that rarely, cost is
not an issue. Though i never turn down a breaded porc chop i rarely
make them for myself any more. I could live on "chicken fried steak"
but restrict myself to once or twice a month.
