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

  1. 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.

  2. Cook bacon: In a large skillet over medium heat, cook bacon pieces until crispy, about 5-6 minutes. Remove bacon, leaving fat in pan.

  3. 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.

  4. 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.

  5. 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).

  6. 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

  • Large skillet
