Step 1
Toss half the sliced red onion with 1 tbsp white vinegar, 1 tsp salt, and a pinch of sugar. Set aside to pickle.
Step 2
Mix mayo and whole-grain mustard in a small bowl until smooth. Taste and adjust mustard; set the dipping sauce aside.
Step 3
Heat oil in a large skillet over medium-high until it shimmers, about 90 seconds.
Step 4
Add diced potatoes, beef, and ham to the hot oil. Do not stir for 3 minutes — let the bottom layer brown deeply.
Step 5
Stir well and spread the mixture flat again. Cook 4–5 minutes more until potatoes are tender and edges are crispy and golden.
Step 6
Toss in remaining raw onion slices, season with salt and pepper to taste. Serve with pickled onions and dipping sauce on the side.
