2 tablespoons olive oil |
1/2 pound boiled ham cut into chunks |

1 tablespoon mustard |
1 tablespoon cider vinegar |
1/2 teaspoon cayenne pepper |
1/4 teaspoon salt |
watercress sprigs |

1. Place potatoes and enough water to cover in saucepan over high heat and bring to a boil.
2. Reduce heat to low then cover and simmer 15 minutes then drain well.
3. Heat 1 tablespoon oil in skillet over medium heat.
4. When hot cook ham, scallions, garlic and black pepper until ham is lightly browned.
5. Stir occasionally then add sweet potato chunks and cook 5 minutes longer.
