Ingredients

  1. 2 cups diced potatoes (russet, Yukon gold, or sweet potatoes)
  2. 2 tablespoons olive oil or butter
  3. 1 medium onion, diced
  4. 1 bell pepper, diced
  5. 2 cloves garlic, minced
  6. 1 cup cooked sausage, bacon, or ham (optional)
  7. Salt and black pepper, to taste
  8. 1/2 teaspoon paprika or smoked paprika
  9. 4 eggs (fried, scrambled, or poached)
  10. Optional toppings: shredded cheese, avocado, green onions, hot sauce

Instructions

Heat oil or butter in a large skillet over medium heat.

  1. Add diced potatoes in a single layer and cook, stirring occasionally, for 12–15 minutes until golden and crispy.
  2. Stir in diced onion, bell peppers, and garlic. Cook for 5–7 minutes until vegetables are soft.
  3. Add the cooked sausage, bacon, or ham (if using), and stir until heated through.
  4. Season with salt, pepper, and paprika. Stir well to combine.
  5. Make small wells in the hash and crack eggs into each well. Cover and cook until eggs are done to your preference.
  6. Top with cheese, avocado, green onions, or hot sauce if desired. Serve hot.

Notes

  • Use a cast iron skillet for best crispiness.
  • Don’t overcrowd the pan—cook in batches if needed.
  • Parboiling potatoes can shorten cooking time but is optional.
  • Customize with any vegetables or leftover meats you have on hand.
  • For vegan option, omit meat and eggs, and top with avocado or tofu scramble.
