Save to Pinterest A hearty, comforting skillet dish featuring crispy potatoes, sautéed onions, and sliced hot dogs, finished with perfectly cooked eggs. Ideal for breakfast, brunch, or a quick dinner.
I first made this hash on a chilly Saturday morning, and now it is my go-to for cozy breakfasts with the family. The kids love getting their 'own' egg and helping stir everything together in the skillet.
Ingredients
- Potatoes: 4 medium, peeled and diced (about 600 g)
- Onion: 1 medium, finely chopped
- Bell pepper (optional): 1, diced
- Hot dogs or sausages: 4, sliced into 1 cm rounds
- Eggs: 4 large
- Vegetable oil: 3 tbsp
- Salt and black pepper: To taste
- Smoked paprika (optional): 1/2 tsp
- Fresh parsley (optional, for garnish): 1 tbsp, chopped
Instructions
- Sauté potatoes:
- Heat 2 tablespoons of oil in a large non-stick skillet over medium heat. Add the diced potatoes and cook, stirring occasionally, for 10<12 minutes until golden and starting to soften.
- Add vegetables:
- Add the chopped onion and bell pepper (if using). Cook for another 5 minutes until the vegetables are soft and slightly caramelized.
- Brown sausage:
- Stir in the sliced hot dogs or sausages. Cook for 3<4 minutes until lightly browned.
- Season hash:
- Sprinkle with smoked paprika, salt, and black pepper. Mix well.
- Add eggs:
- Create four small wells in the hash. Add the remaining tablespoon of oil if the pan looks dry. Crack an egg into each well.
- Cook eggs:
- Cover the skillet and cook for 5<7 minutes, or until the egg whites are set but the yolks remain runny (or to your desired doneness).
- Finish and serve:
- Remove from heat, garnish with chopped parsley, and serve immediately.
