Bacon, Egg, and Potato Hash
A hearty and satisfying dish featuring crispy bacon, tender potatoes, and perfectly cooked eggs. Perfect for breakfast, brunch, or even dinner, this hash combines classic flavors in a simple one-pan meal.
Equipment
- Large skillet or frying pan
- Spatula
- Knife and cutting board (for chopping ingredients)
- Measuring cups and spoons
- Mixing bowl (optional, for cracking eggs)
Ingredients
- For the Hash:
- 6 slices of bacon chopped into small pieces
- 2 medium potatoes diced into small cubes, about 1/2 inch
- 1 medium onion diced
- 1 red bell pepper diced, optional
- 2 garlic cloves minced
- 4 large eggs
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Optional: Fresh parsley chopped, for garnish
- Optional: Hot sauce for serving
Instructions
- Cook the Bacon :
- In a large skillet over medium heat, cook the chopped bacon until crispy. Remove the bacon with a slotted spoon and set aside, leaving the bacon grease in the skillet.
- Cook the Potatoes :
- Add the diced potatoes to the skillet with the bacon grease. Cook over medium heat, stirring occasionally, for 10–12 minutes, or until the potatoes are golden brown and tender.
- Sauté the Vegetables :
- Add the diced onion and red bell pepper (if using) to the skillet. Cook for 5–7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until softened.
- Stir in the minced garlic and cook for 1 minute until fragrant.
- Add the Bacon Back :
- Return the cooked bacon to the skillet and stir to combine with the potato mixture. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
- Cook the Eggs :
- Use a spoon to create four small wells in the hash. Crack an egg into each well. Cover the skillet and cook for 5–7 minutes, or until the egg whites are set but the yolks are still runny (or cook longer if you prefer firmer yolks).
- Serve :
- Garnish with freshly chopped parsley if desired. Serve hot with hot sauce on the side, if preferred.
Notes
Substitute bacon with sausage or ham for a different protein option.
Use sweet potatoes instead of regular potatoes for a slightly sweeter flavor and added nutrition.
Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days. Reheat gently on the stovetop or microwave.
Freeze portions of the hash (without eggs) for up to 3 months. Thaw overnight in the refrigerator before reheating and adding fresh eggs.
