Ingredients:
- 2 large potatoes
- 1/2 cup bell pepper, diced
- 1 small onion, diced
- 1/2 cup cherry tomatoes, halved
- 2 large eggs
- 1/4 cup cooked sausage or bacon pieces (optional)
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 1/2 teaspoon smoked paprika
- Olive oil or butter for cooking
Instructions:
- Prepare Ingredients: To cook potatoes, bell pepper, and onion evenly, dice them a little. Cut sausage or bacon into small pieces to incorporate into hash. Halve the cherry tomatoes to cook fast and give flavour to each bite.
- Cook Potatoes: Add lots of olive oil or butter to a big skillet over medium-high heat. Add diced potatoes in a single layer when heated. Add salt, pepper, and smoked paprika. Cook the potatoes for 8–10 minutes, tossing periodically, until golden and crispy on the exterior and soft on the inside.
- Add Protein and Vegetables: Diced onion, bell pepper, and cooked sausage or bacon go in the skillet with the potatoes. Stir well and heat for 5 minutes until onion and bell pepper are transparent and softened. The sausage or bacon will provide flavour and savouriness.
- Add Tomatoes: Add the cherry tomatoes and simmer for 2-3 minutes to soften and release their juices. The tomatoes' fresh, somewhat acidic flavour balances the potatoes' and protein's richness.
- Create Egg Wells: Make two small wells in the hash with a spoon. Crack an egg into each well carefully. Sprinkle salt and pepper on eggs. The egg whites should be firm but the yolks runny after 3–4 minutes in a covered skillet. For firmer yolks, boil eggs for 1-2 minutes longer.
- Serve with Garnish: Remove the skillet from heat when the eggs are done. Sprinkle fresh herbs like parsley or chives on top for flavour and colour. Serve the hash from the skillet with bread or spicy sauce for extra flavour.
- Meal Preparation: You can preserve leftovers in an airtight container for two days. Reheat the hash in a skillet or microwave over medium heat. To avoid overcooking while reheating, prepare the eggs separately if making ahead.
