Boxing Day Hash

If you want your leftovers to taste as delicious as the main event then try this recipe using up excess ham off the bone.  If you are like our extended family there was not much left of the turkey, loin of pork or whole fillet of beef but there was still an excess of ham. We have made this dish for the last 10 years or so and is always a favourite. Don't think Christmas time is the only time to try this dish it works well any time of year.

2 large potatoes
1 small red onion or 4 shallots 
1 clove garlic crushed
