Breakfast Potato Hash

This is a staple weekend breakfast that uses up whatever potatoes I have lying around. It's fairly simple and relies on the rendered bacon fat to get the potatoes crispy.

Ingredients

Ingredients (~9 servings)

  • ~2 tbsp Canola oil divided
  • 8-10 strips Applewood bacon chopped
  • ~3 lbs Yukon gold potatoes diced into 1/2 inch cubes
  • 1 1/2 Yellow onions diced
  • 3 Bell peppers mix of red and yellow, diced
  • 1 1/2 tbsp Fresh rosemary chopped
  • 1/2 tbsp Garlic powder
  • 1/2 tbsp Cumin
  • 3/4 tsp Paprika
  • Salt and Black Pepper to taste
  • Fresh chives or parsley for garnish

Instructions

  • Dice potatoes into uniform 1/2 inch cubes. Dice onions and bell peppers. Chop bacon and rosemary.
  • Cook chopped bacon in large skillet over medium heat for 8-10 minutes until crispy. Remove bacon with slotted spoon and set aside, leaving grease in pan.
  • Add 1 tbsp canola oil to bacon grease. Add diced potatoes and cook 15-20 minutes, stirring occasionally, until golden-brown and tender.
  • Push potatoes to side of skillet. Add remaining 1 tbsp oil, onions, and bell peppers. Cook 5-8 minutes until slightly tender.
  • Stir in rosemary, garlic powder, cumin, and paprika. Cook 2-3 minutes until fragrant.
  • Add bacon back to pan and mix everything together. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
  • Garnish with fresh chives or parsley and serve immediately.

Notes

Work in batches if needed to avoid crowding the pan, which causes steaming instead of crisping.
