Coffee with the Chicken Ladies

We love this hash for a lazy weekend morning or a simple dinner. It’s delicious, easy to make, and endlessly customizable. You can keep it vegetarian or add meat, you can add more veggies, and you can vary the herbs and cheese for a completely different taste. We use fried eggs but poached eggs are a bit more elegant and equally delicious.

There are a few shortcuts for this recipe to make it even quicker. You can steam your diced potatoes in the microwave (on a plate with a few splashes of water and covered with some kind of a loose fitting lid) for a few minutes to partially cook and soften them. You can also crack your eggs right into the skillet and cook them in the hash. Looks messy, tastes great.

You can hear us talk through this recipe on Episode 182 of our podcast. If you enjoyed making this hash, you may also like our recipes for Sheet Pan Eggs and Veggies, and Loaded Tots.

Cheesy Potato Hash

This is a delicious way to use up extra potatoes and eggs. It's comfort food at it's best! If you use dairy free cheese this recipe will be gluten and dairy free. You can add more veggies or meat if you want to customize it a bit. The hash makes a perfect base for all of your spring eggs!

Ingredients Method

Ingredients

  

• 3 medium sized potatoes diced (peeled if desired)
• 1 medium sweet potato peeled and diced
• 1 onion chopped
• 2 cloves of garlic chopped
• ½ of a red or green pepper chopped small
• 2 teaspoons fresh thyme leaves or 1 teaspoon dried
• ½ teaspoon of marjoram
• salt and pepper to taste
• ½ – 1 cup of shredded cheese of your choice we used cheddar
• Optional cooked meat of choice chopped (bacon, sausage, veggie sausage, etc.)
• 6-8 eggs for frying and serving on top of the hash

Method

 

1. Heat a generous splash of olive oil in a large skillet. Saute the onion, garlic, and pepper over medium heat, until softened and beginning to brown. Add the diced potatoes and cook, stirring occasionally, until they’re fork-tender. At this point, add your seasonings and optional meat, and turn the heat up a bit to brown the potatoes. Use a spatula to flip everything over every once in a while, trying to get some browning on each side.
2. Once the hash is finished, add the cheese and set aside to get nice and melty. Fry or peach your eggs, and serve the hash with a couple of eggs on top.
