Ingredients
Hash
- 400g potatoes, cut into 1.5cm cubes
- 150g bacon strips, chopped
- 1 small onion, diced
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 tbsp butter
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 1/2 tsp chili flakes (optional)
Eggs
- 4 eggs
- 1 tbsp butter
Garnish
- Fresh parsley, chopped
- Hot sauce (optional)
Instructions
Parboil potatoes: Add potato cubes to a pot of salted water. Bring to boil and cook 5-6 minutes until just starting to soften. Drain well and let steam dry.
Cook bacon: In a large skillet over medium heat, cook bacon pieces until crispy, about 5-6 minutes. Remove bacon, leaving fat in pan.
Crisp potatoes: Add butter to the bacon fat. Add potatoes in a single layer. Cook without stirring for 4-5 minutes until golden on bottom. Flip and repeat until crispy all over, about 10 minutes total.
Add aromatics: Add onion and cook 3 minutes. Add garlic and cook 1 minute. Return bacon to pan. Season with salt, pepper, and chili flakes.
Fry eggs: In a separate pan, melt butter over medium heat. Crack in eggs and fry to your preference (sunny-side up or over-easy recommended).
Serve: Divide hash between plates, top each with 2 fried eggs. Garnish with parsley and hot sauce if desired.
Notes
- Crispy potatoes: The key is not moving them too much—let them develop a crust.
- Make ahead: Parboil potatoes up to a day ahead and refrigerate. They’ll crisp even better.
- Variations: Add bell peppers, swap bacon for chorizo, or top with cheese.
Equipment Used
