Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 500 grams Cooked potatoes
- 250 grams Cooked beef or pork (leftover roast or steak)
- 1 large Yellow onion
- 2 tablespoons Unsalted butter
- 1 tablespoon Vegetable oil
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 4 large Eggs
- 100 grams Pickled beets (optional, for serving)
- 1 cup Brown sauce or gravy (optional, for serving)
- 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley
Instructions
Peel and dice the cooked potatoes into small cubes, about 1 cm (1/2 inch) in size.
Dice the cooked meat into similarly sized cubes as the potatoes.
Peel and finely chop the onion.
Heat a large skillet over medium heat. Add the butter and vegetable oil to the pan and let it melt and heat up.
Add the chopped onions to the pan and sauté for 3-4 minutes until they become translucent and slightly golden.
Increase the heat to medium-high and add the diced potatoes to the skillet. Spread them out evenly into a single layer and cook for 6-8 minutes, stirring occasionally, until they start to crisp up and turn golden brown.
Add the diced meat to the skillet. Stir to combine and cook for another 5-6 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the meat is warmed through and slightly browned.
Season the mixture with salt and black pepper to taste. Stir to ensure everything is well-coated in seasoning.
In a separate non-stick pan, heat a small amount of butter or oil over medium-low heat. Crack eggs into the pan and cook them sunny-side up or to your preferred doneness.
Divide the hash evenly among four plates. Top each portion with a fried egg and garnish with freshly chopped parsley.
Serve immediately with pickled beets and brown sauce or gravy on the side, if desired.
