To make a tasty savory breakfast hash, you need these simple ingredients: - 2 medium potatoes, diced - 1 cup bell peppers (red and green), diced - 1 small onion, diced - 1 cup cooked breakfast sausage, crumbled (or plant-based alternative) - 4 large eggs - 2 tablespoons olive oil - 1 teaspoon smoked paprika - ½ teaspoon garlic powder - ½ teaspoon black pepper - Salt to taste - Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish) Using fresh ingredients gives the best flavor. Fresh potatoes and bell peppers add crunch. However, frozen ingredients work in a pinch. They save time and still taste good. If using frozen, thaw them first. This helps with even cooking. Fresh herbs like parsley also bring bright flavors. You can easily adjust this recipe. For a vegetarian option, skip the sausage. Use mushrooms or tofu for protein instead. If you need a dairy-free option, choose plant-based eggs. You can also swap regular potatoes for sweet potatoes. This adds a unique flavor and more nutrients. Always check labels for allergens when choosing substitutes. Start by washing the potatoes well. Dice them into small cubes. This makes them cook evenly. Heat one tablespoon of olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the diced potatoes to the skillet. Season them with salt and black pepper. Cook for about 10 to 12 minutes. Stir them occasionally. You want them to soften and turn golden brown. If you like a crispier texture, let them cook a bit longer. Once the potatoes are ready, add the diced onion and bell peppers. Mix them in with the potatoes. Cook for another 5 to 7 minutes. You want the veggies to become tender. Next, add the crumbled breakfast sausage to the skillet. You can use a plant-based option too. Sprinkle in the smoked paprika and garlic powder. Stir everything together. Let it cook for 3 to 4 more minutes to blend the flavors. Now comes the fun part! Use a spatula to create four small wells in the hash mixture. Crack an egg into each well. Cover the skillet with a lid. Cook for about 5 to 7 minutes. This lets the eggs cook to your liking. You can have them runny or fully cooked, based on your taste. Once done, remove the skillet from heat and let it cool for a minute. Garnish with freshly chopped parsley for a nice touch. Enjoy your delicious Savory Breakfast Hash! For the full recipe, check the detailed instructions above. To get the best texture from your potatoes, choose medium-sized ones. Dice them evenly so they cook at the same rate. I recommend parboiling the diced potatoes for about five minutes before frying them. This step helps them cook faster and stay fluffy inside. When you fry them, use enough oil to coat the pan. Stir them gently to allow a crisp layer to form. This will give you that perfect golden-brown crust. For a flavor boost, add spices like cumin or chili powder. A pinch of cayenne pepper adds a nice kick. You can also try fresh herbs like thyme or rosemary. They add great depth to the dish. If you like cheese, sprinkle some grated cheddar on top before serving. It melts beautifully and adds creaminess. Always taste as you go to adjust the flavors to your liking. You can make this dish in advance for busy mornings. Cook the hash and store it in an airtight container in the fridge. It will last for up to three days. Reheat it in a skillet for best results. Add a splash of water to keep it moist. You can also prep the ingredients a day ahead. Chop the veggies and store them in the fridge. This way, you can enjoy a hearty breakfast with less morning stress.

You can also add beans, tofu, or tempeh for protein. For a simple vegan option, just skip the eggs. You can replace them with avocado or tofu scramble for creaminess. If you love meat, there are many options. Try bacon, ham, or chorizo for a different taste. Each meat adds its own flavor. You can also mix meats for extra variety. Just make sure to cook them well before adding to the hash. Get creative with your veggies! Spinach, kale, or zucchini can add color and nutrients. For a fun twist, try adding sweet corn or asparagus. Toppings like cheese or hot sauce can give extra flavor. Fresh herbs like cilantro or chives can brighten the dish. For more ideas, check the Full Recipe for Savory Breakfast Hash to see what fits your taste! To store your savory breakfast hash, let it cool first. Use an airtight container to keep it fresh. Place the hash in the fridge if you plan to eat it soon. It lasts up to four days this way. Always label the container with the date. This helps you track how long it's been stored. When reheating, use a skillet or microwave. If using a skillet, add a splash of olive oil. This helps bring back the crispness. Heat on medium and stir until hot. In the microwave, use a microwave-safe bowl. Cover it with a lid or paper towel to prevent splatter. Heat for about one to two minutes. Check to ensure it’s warmed through. You can freeze leftover hash for later. First, let it cool completely. Then, place it in a freezer-safe bag or container. Squeeze out as much air as possible to avoid freezer burn. It can last up to three months in the freezer. When ready to eat, thaw it in the fridge overnight before reheating. You can easily make a meatless Savory Breakfast Hash. Start by using the same base of potatoes, bell peppers, and onions. Instead of sausage, try using beans or tofu for protein. You can also add spices like cumin or chili powder for flavor. The cooking steps remain the same. Just ensure your plant-based protein is cooked well and seasoned properly. Yes, sweet potatoes work great in this dish! They add a nice sweetness and color. Just peel and dice them like regular potatoes. Sweet potatoes may cook a bit faster, so check them often. They add a unique taste that pairs well with the other flavors in the hash. Toppings can make your hash even better. Some popular choices are: - Avocado slices - Crumbled feta cheese - Fresh salsa or pico de gallo - Hot sauce for a kick - Chopped green onions or cilantro These toppings add flavor and texture, making your breakfast even more enjoyable.
