Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 12 oz Spam
- 2 large Russet potatoes
- 4 Eggs
- 1 medium Red bell pepper
- 1 small Yellow onion
- 2 Garlic cloves
- 2 tbsp Olive oil
- 0.5 tsp Salt
- 0.25 tsp Black pepper
- 0.5 tsp Paprika
- 1 tbsp Fresh parsley (optional)
Instructions
Peel and dice the russet potatoes into small, bite-sized cubes. Rinse the cubes under cold water to remove excess starch, then pat them dry with a clean towel.
Dice the Spam into small, evenly sized cubes. Dice the red bell pepper and finely chop the yellow onion. Mince the garlic cloves.
Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a large, non-stick skillet over medium heat. Add the diced Spam and cook for about 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the cubes are golden brown and crispy. Remove the Spam from the skillet and set it aside on a plate.
In the same skillet, add the remaining tablespoon of olive oil. Add the diced potatoes and spread them out into an even layer. Cook for 10-12 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the potatoes are golden and tender.
Add the chopped onion and red bell pepper to the skillet with the potatoes. Cook for another 5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the vegetables are softened.
Stir in the minced garlic, cooked Spam, salt, black pepper, and paprika. Mix thoroughly and cook for an additional 2 minutes to combine the flavors.
Using a spatula, create 4 small wells in the hash mixture. Crack an egg into each well. Cover the skillet with a lid and cook for 4-6 minutes over low heat, or until the eggs reach your desired level of doneness.
Remove the skillet from the heat. Sprinkle the hash with freshly chopped parsley, if desired, for added freshness.
Serve the Spam and Egg Breakfast Hash immediately while hot. Enjoy!
