Potatoes & Vegetables
- 1 lb russet potatoes, diced
- 1/2 cup onion, diced
- 1/2 cup red bell pepper, diced
- 1/2 cup green bell pepper, diced
Meats & Dairy
- 1/2 lb breakfast sausage
- 6 slices bacon, chopped
- 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
- 4 large eggs
Seasonings & Oils
- 2 tbsp olive oil
- 1 tsp garlic powder
- 1/2 tsp smoked paprika
- Salt and pepper to taste
Garnish (Optional)
- Chopped green onions or parsley
- Preheat and Oil the Griddle: Heat your griddle or a large skillet over medium-high heat and add 2 tablespoons of olive oil to ensure even cooking and prevent sticking.
- Cook the Potatoes: Place the diced russet potatoes onto the hot surface. Season them with garlic powder, smoked paprika, salt, and pepper. Cook for about 10-12 minutes, turning occasionally, until the potatoes develop a golden-brown crispy exterior and are tender inside.
- Prepare the Bacon: In a separate section of the griddle, cook the chopped bacon until it becomes crispy. Remove the bacon and set aside, but leave the rendered bacon fat on the griddle for extra flavor.
- Cook the Sausage: Add the breakfast sausage to the bacon fat on the griddle. Cook until browned and fully crumbled, which usually takes about 5-7 minutes. Drain any excess grease if there is too much fat accumulating.
- Sauté the Vegetables: Add the diced onions and bell peppers to the griddle. Sauté for 3-4 minutes or until they soften and become fragrant, integrating their sweetness and color into the dish.
- Combine Ingredients: Mix the cooked potatoes, sausage, bacon, onions, and bell peppers together evenly on the griddle surface to create a cohesive hash base.
- Add Cheese: Sprinkle the shredded cheddar cheese evenly over the hot hash mixture. Allow it to melt naturally, creating a creamy texture that binds the dish together.
- Cook the Eggs: Clear a section of the griddle and crack the 4 eggs on it. Cook them to your desired doneness—whether fried, scrambled, or over-easy—to add richness and extra protein.
- Serve and Garnish: Plate the hash with the cooked eggs on top. Finish by garnishing with chopped green onions or parsley, if desired, to add fresh color and flavor.
Notes
- Use russet potatoes for their high starch content which crisps well while staying fluffy inside.
- If you don’t have a griddle, a large cast iron skillet or nonstick frying pan works well.
- Maintain medium-high heat to get crispy potatoes without overcrowding the pan to avoid steaming.
- For a leaner alternative, substitute turkey sausage or omit bacon altogether.
- This recipe can be made ahead and refrigerated for up to three days; simply reheat on a skillet or griddle.
- Customize with other vegetables like mushrooms or spinach for variation.
- The dish serves about 4 and is rich, so consider pairing with lighter sides like fresh fruit or green salad.
