Potato hash

When it comes to recipes, there is nothing more versatile than potato hash. Whether you’re looking for a hearty breakfast dish or a flavorful side to accompany your dinner, potato hash is the perfect solution. And, best of all, it’s easy to make!

The history of potato hash is a long and storied one. Its origins can be traced back to the early 1800s, when it was commonly served as a breakfast dish in England. At that time, the dish was simply a mixture of boiled potatoes and onions, fried in bacon fat.

As the years went on, the dish began to evolve. Recipes for potato hash started appearing in cookbooks in the United States, and the dish became a staple of New England cuisine.

Advice

When making potato hash, it's important to use the freshest ingredients possible. Start by cutting the potatoes into small cubes, then preheat a skillet on medium-high heat and add a tablespoon of oil. Place the potatoes in the skillet and cook for about 8 minutes, stirring occasionally until they are golden brown and cooked through. Add in any additional ingredients that you would like, such as onions, bell peppers, or even breakfast meats, and season with salt and pepper. Continue to cook until everything is heated through and the potatoes are crispy. Serve hot and enjoy!
