• 2 garlic cloves
• 3 tbsp butter

📝 Instructions

13 steps

1. Prepare the venison by trimming any excess fat and cutting it into small, bite-sized cubes. Set aside.

2. Wash and dice the yellow potatoes into small, evenly sized cubes. Leave the skin on for added texture and nutrition.

3. Dice the onion and bell pepper into small pieces. Finely mince the garlic cloves.

4. Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil and 1 tablespoon of butter in a large skillet over medium heat.

5. Add the potatoes to the skillet and cook for 8-10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until they are golden brown and crispy on the outside. Remove the potatoes and set them aside on a plate.

6. In the same skillet, add the remaining tablespoon of olive oil and another tablespoon of butter. Increase the heat to medium-high and add the diced venison.

7. Cook the venison for about 4-5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until it is browned on all sides. Be careful not to overcook the meat; it should remain tender.

8. Reduce the heat to medium and add the onions, bell peppers, and garlic to the skillet with the venison. Cook for 3-4 minutes until the vegetables begin to soften.

9. Sprinkle the smoked paprika, ground cumin, thyme, salt, and black pepper over the venison and vegetables. Stir well to coat everything evenly in the spices.

10. Return the crispy potatoes to the skillet and mix everything together. Cook for an additional 5 minutes, allowing the flavors to combine.

11. Add the final tablespoon of butter to the skillet and let it melt, coating the hash with a rich flavor. Taste and adjust the seasoning if needed.

12. Remove the skillet from heat and garnish the venison hash with chopped parsley before serving.

13. Serve warm as a standalone dish or alongside eggs for a complete meal. Enjoy!
