HOW TO DEEP FRY A HAM

Steps:

• In a mixing bowl, combine the onion powder, garlic powder, brown sugar, mustard, and apple cider.
• Mix together until dissolved.
• Add oil to the deep fryer, filling the stock pot to three quarters of the way full. Leave enough space so the oil does not overflow when the ham is submerged. Heat until 375 degrees Fahrenheit.
• Fill the marinade injector with brine and inject the ham in multiple spots to disperse the flavor. Use as much of the brine as possible.
• Dry the ham with the lint-free towel so there is no excess moisture on the ham.
• Cut a slit through the ham and slide the ham onto the poultry wrack.
• Lower the ham into the fryer. Cook each pound of the ham for 7 minutes or until the core temperature of the ham is 160 degrees Fahrenheit.
• Remove the ham from the fryer and allow the excess oil to drain off. Carve the ham and enjoy!

HOW TO FRY COUNTRY HAM

Steps:

• In a 10" cast iron or heavy bottomed skillet, heat half the coconut oil over high heat until just melted.
• Add the ham slices, and reduce heat to medium. The ham will release some liquid initially and look soft and floppy like bacon. Continue cooking on medium, turning occasionally (every couple of minutes) until golden and crispy on both sides and any fat has rendered--about 10 minutes total. If the skillet starts to look too dry while the ham is frying, add the remaining coconut oil if needed.

COUNTRY HAM AND SMASHED-POTATO HOME FRIES

Steps:

• Place the potatoes in a large saucepan and add cold water to cover by 1 inch. Salt the water generously and bring to a boil over medium heat. Reduce the heat to medium-low and simmer until the potatoes are fork-tender, 7 to 10 minutes, depending on size. Drain and set aside.
• Meanwhile, heat 1 tablespoon of the vegetable oil in a large cast-iron skillet over medium heat. Add the ham and saute, stirring occasionally, until crispy, about 4 minutes; transfer to a bowl. Add the onions and red peppers to the skillet and saute, stirring occasionally, until tender, 5 to 7 minutes; transfer to another bowl.
• While the vegetables are cooking, smash the boiled potatoes down by hand. Add the remaining tablespoon oil and the butter to the skillet. When the butter is foaming, add the potatoes in a single layer and sear until very golden brown and crispy, 2 to 4 minutes per side. Stir in the crispy ham, onion mixture and lemon zest. Add salt and pepper to taste. Serve immediately.
