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 sautΓ© 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.
