On a number of menus I have breakfast hash. I had posted an earlier version of breakfast hash. That requires standing at the stove and frying the food over a period of time. This version requires a roasting pan and a hot oven. It’s an easy dish to prepare when you are doing other things.  Its also very flexible as to the ingredients you use. Use what you have on hand and your imagination. I don’t eat this every day but it is very flavorful and makes a wonderful brunch for a crowd just increase the amounts.Breakfast Hash

prep time 5-10 min

cooking time 20-30 min

Ingredients

bacon 2 slices per person

potatoes diced 1-2 per per person ( depending on size)

onion 1/2 small diced per person

other veggies ( mushrooms, peppers, etc what you have on hand)

eggs 1-2 per person

preheat the oven to 425 degrees Fahrenheit

dice the potatoes onions etc to approximately the same size and put them in the center of the roasting pan. Salt and pepper. If you aren’t using bacon toss them with a little olive oil.  Arrange the slices of bacon around the potatoes along the edge of the pan. The bacon becomes the fat used to fry the potatoes. It adds such great flavor. Put roasting pan in the oven and set the timer for 10 minutes. Check the bacon depending on how thick the slice it either should be flipped or removed to a plate with paper towel to drain. If the bacon is not finished flip it and stir the potatoes. Set the timer for another 10 minuets.

When timer goes off if you haven’t removed the bacon by now it should be done and remove it. Stir the potatoes again and the should be getting nice and golden crisp. Crack the eggs on top of the potatoes and season with salt and pepper. Return to the oven for another 3-6 minutes depending on how runny you like your yolk. Remove from oven and serve.

If you don’t have bacon I have made this with cubed ham and leftover chicken. It is delicious either way. Just make sure you have tossed the ingredients in olive oil since you won’t have the bacon fat.
