Classic Breakfast Hash Recipe
Ingredients :
2 medium potatoes, diced (you can also use sweet potatoes)
1 small onion, diced
1 bell pepper (any color), diced
2 cloves garlic, minced
4 slices of bacon or 2 sausages, cooked and crumbled (or diced ham)
2-4 eggs (optional, for topping)
1 tbsp olive oil or butter
Salt and pepper, to taste
Fresh herbs like parsley or chives (optional, for garnish)
Hot sauce (optional)
Instructions :
- Cook the potatoes :
Heat a large skillet over medium heat. Add olive oil or butter.
Add diced potatoes and cook for about 10-15 minutes, stirring occasionally, until golden brown and crispy on the outside. Season with salt and pepper.
- Add vegetables :
Once the potatoes are almost done, add the diced onions and bell peppers to the skillet. Cook for 4-5 minutes until the vegetables are soft and slightly caramelized.
Stir in the garlic and cook for another 1-2 minutes, until fragrant.
- Add protein :
Stir in the cooked bacon, sausage, or ham. Let everything cook together for a few minutes so the flavors meld.
- Optional eggs :
If you want to top your hash with eggs, push the hash to the sides of the skillet to make space and crack eggs directly into the pan. Cook until the whites are set but the yolks are still runny (or to your preference).
Alternatively, you can scramble or fry the eggs separately and place them on top.
- Garnish and serve :
Sprinkle with fresh herbs, add a dash of hot sauce, and serve warm.
