Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 medium potatoes (russet or Yukon Gold)
- 6 slices Canadian bacon
- 1 medium yellow onion
- 1 medium bell pepper (red or green)
- 2 garlic cloves
- 3 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 tablespoon unsalted butter
- 4 eggs
- 2 teaspoons white vinegar
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley (chopped)
Instructions
Peel the potatoes and dice them into small, even-sized cubes (about 1/2-inch). Rinse the potato cubes under cold water to remove excess starch, then pat them dry with a clean kitchen towel.
Dice the Canadian bacon, onion, and bell pepper into small pieces. Mince the garlic cloves.
Heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil and the butter in a large skillet over medium heat. Once hot, add the diced potatoes in an even layer. Let them cook for about 4-5 minutes without stirring to achieve a crispy golden crust.
Stir the potatoes occasionally and continue cooking for another 7-8 minutes, or until they are tender and golden brown all over. Season with salt and black pepper to taste.
In the same skillet, push the potatoes to one side and add the remaining 1 tablespoon of olive oil. Add the diced onion, bell pepper, garlic, and Canadian bacon to the empty side. Cook for 5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the vegetables are soft and the Canadian bacon is lightly browned.
Combine the cooked potatoes with the vegetables and bacon in the skillet. Stir everything together and keep warm over low heat while you prepare the poached eggs.
Fill a medium saucepan with about 3 inches of water and bring it to a gentle simmer. Add the white vinegar to the water.
Crack each egg into a small bowl or ramekin. Stir the simmering water to create a gentle whirlpool, then carefully slide one egg at a time into the center of the whirlpool. Poach the egg for 3-4 minutes, or until the whites are just set but the yolk remains runny. Remove the egg with a slotted spoon and transfer it to a plate. Repeat with the remaining eggs.
To serve, divide the Canadian bacon hash evenly among four plates. Top each portion with a poached egg and garnish with a sprinkle of fresh parsley. Serve immediately and enjoy!
