Ingredients
Method
- Rinse the diced potatoes in cold water and pat completely dry with paper towels. This removes excess starch and helps achieve crispiness.
- Heat 3 tablespoons of oil in a large cast iron skillet or heavy-bottomed pan over medium-high heat until shimmering.
- Add the potatoes in a single layer, season with salt, pepper, paprika, and garlic powder. Don't stir for 4-5 minutes to allow bottom to crisp and turn golden.
- Flip potatoes and cook another 4-5 minutes until second side is crispy. Push potatoes to one side of the pan.
- Add remaining 1 tablespoon oil to empty side of pan. Add diced onion and bell pepper, cooking for 3-4 minutes until softened.
- Add minced garlic and cook for another 30 seconds until fragrant. Mix vegetables with the potatoes.
- Using a spoon, create 4 small wells in the hash mixture. Crack one egg into each well.
- Cover the pan and cook for 3-4 minutes for runny yolks, or 5-6 minutes for firmer yolks.
- Remove from heat and garnish with chopped chives. Serve immediately directly from the pan.
Notes
For extra crispy potatoes, cube them the night before and let them air dry in the refrigerator. You can substitute sweet potatoes for regular potatoes, but reduce cooking time slightly. Leftover hash keeps in the refrigerator for 2 days and reheats well in a skillet.
