Today was a beautiful morning on one of my days off and I decided to be adventurous…ish. For breakfast I made a hash that ended up being delicious, hurray! It was sweet, yet savoury, creamy and had bits of crispiness to offset the soft potatoes. I highly recommend trying this one. We had left over egg yolks in the fridge but no whole eggs so this is what I came up with.
Ingredients:
2 T butter
2 medium red potatoes
1/2 onion
1/2 red pepper (or whatever your favourite colour pepper is)
5 slices bacon
2-3 egg yolks
Method:
First, dice your potatoes into 1/4 inch cubes; the smaller they are the fast they will cook. Once they are cut up, warm a non-stick pan and melt the butter over medium heat. When it is warm add the potatoes and fry for a few minutes. While they are frying, cut up your bacon into little strips, if using pre cooked, crumble it right into the pan; if cooking, cut it up and then throw it in with the potatoes and cook it to your desired doneness. While the bacon is cooking dice up your onion, just a little bigger than the potatoes. When it is cut and your bacon is almost to your desired crispiness, add the onion to the pan. While the onion is cooking, dice your peppers and add to pan immediately. Allow to cook for 2-3 minutes more. Add the egg yolks and put your bread in the toaster. Stir the hash together until the egg yolks are just cooked and no longer runny. Serve warm, and enjoy the beginning to your day.
Yield: 2-3 Servings
You can use whole eggs if you like but this is a great way to use up egg yolks if you have them leftover from another recipe.
