Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients:
- 2 large potatoes
- 1 cup cooked protein
- 4 large eggs
Vegetable Ingredients:
- ½ cup bell peppers
- ½ cup onions
- 1 cup spinach or kale
Seasoning and Cooking Ingredients:
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- Salt
- Pepper
- Fresh herbs
Instructions
- Heat 1 tablespoon olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat at 375°F. Carefully add 2 diced potatoes, spreading them into a single layer so each piece can crisp evenly.
- Sprinkle ½ teaspoon salt and ¼ teaspoon black pepper over potatoes. Cook for 5-7 minutes without stirring, allowing your potatoes to develop a golden-brown crust.
- Stir potatoes and add ½ cup diced bell peppers and ½ cup diced onions. Sauté for 3-4 minutes until vegetables soften and start to caramelize.
- Mix in 1 cup of your chopped cooked protein (sausage, bacon, or ham). Cook for another 2-3 minutes, ensuring everything is heated through.
- Optional: Fold 1 cup spinach or kale into the hash, letting it wilt for 1 minute.
- Create 4 small wells in the hash mixture. Crack 1 large egg into each well.
- Reduce heat to medium-low at 325°F. Cover skillet and cook eggs for 3-4 minutes until whites are set but yolks remain slightly runny.
- Garnish with chopped fresh herbs. Serve immediately directly from the skillet for maximum warmth and flavor.
Notes
- Dice potatoes uniformly to ensure even cooking and crispy texture throughout the hash.
- Use a cast-iron skillet for the best golden-brown crust and superior heat distribution.
- For a vegetarian version, swap bacon or sausage with plant-based protein like tofu crumbles or tempeh.
- Sprinkle fresh herbs like chives or parsley at the end to add brightness and fresh flavor to the dish.
