Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 medium Russet potato
- 0.5 medium Yellow onion
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 1 teaspoon Unsalted butter
- 1 large Egg
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
- 0.25 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon Parsley (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
Peel and dice the potato into small, evenly sized cubes (approximately 1/4-inch).
Finely chop half of the yellow onion.
Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a medium non-stick skillet over medium heat.
Add the diced potato to the skillet and season with 1/4 teaspoon of salt, 1/8 teaspoon of black pepper, and 1/8 teaspoon of garlic powder. Stir to coat the potatoes.
Cover the skillet with a lid and allow the potatoes to cook for 8-10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until they begin to soften.
Add the chopped onion to the skillet along with the remaining 1 tablespoon of olive oil. Cook uncovered for an additional 8 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the potatoes are golden brown and crispy and the onions are caramelized.
Meanwhile, heat 1 teaspoon of butter in a separate small non-stick skillet over medium-low heat.
Crack the egg into the skillet and cook until the whites are set and the yolk reaches your desired level of doneness, about 3-4 minutes for sunny-side-up or longer if you prefer the yolk cooked through.
Transfer the potato and onion hash to a plate.
Carefully place the fried egg on top of the hash.
Sprinkle with additional salt, pepper, and parsley (if using) to taste.
Serve immediately and enjoy!
