Ingredients
- 2 medium potatoes, diced
- 1 bell pepper, chopped
- 1 onion, diced
- 1 zucchini, diced
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Fresh herbs for garnish
Instructions
- Wash and prepare all vegetables: dice potatoes into small, uniform cubes (approximately 1/2 inch), chop bell pepper into similar-sized pieces, dice onion finely, and cut zucchini into small cubes.
- Heat a large skillet or cast-iron pan over medium-high heat. Add olive oil and ensure it's evenly distributed across the cooking surface.
- First, add diced potatoes to the skillet. Cook for 8-10 minutes, stirring occasionally to prevent sticking and ensure even browning. Potatoes should start to develop a golden-brown crispy exterior.
- Add diced onions to the skillet, stirring and mixing with potatoes. Cook for an additional 3-4 minutes until onions become translucent and slightly caramelized.
- Incorporate bell peppers and zucchini into the skillet. Continue cooking for 5-6 minutes, stirring periodically to prevent burning.
- Season the vegetable hash generously with salt and freshly ground black pepper. Adjust seasoning to taste.
- Continue cooking until all vegetables are tender and have developed a nice golden-brown color, approximately 20 minutes total cooking time.
- Remove from heat and let rest for 2-3 minutes. Garnish with fresh chopped herbs like parsley, thyme, or chives before serving.
- Serve hot directly from the skillet as a versatile side dish or light vegetarian main course.
Tips
- Uniform Cutting: Ensure all your vegetables are cut into similar sizes for even cooking. Aim for about 1/2 inch cubes for the potatoes and zucchini to ensure they cook at the same rate.
- High Heat for Crispiness: Don’t be shy with the heat! Cooking on medium-high helps achieve that golden-brown, crispy exterior on the potatoes, giving the dish a delightful texture.
- Stir Occasionally: While it’s important to let the potatoes sit and brown, make sure to stir occasionally to prevent sticking and ensure even cooking.
- Season as You Go: Taste and adjust the seasoning throughout the cooking process. This will help enhance the flavors of the vegetables as they cook.
- Fresh Herbs for Garnish: Elevate your dish by garnishing with fresh herbs like parsley, thyme, or chives just before serving. It adds a pop of color and a burst of freshness!
- Versatile Serving: This veggie hash can be served as a hearty side dish or as a light main course. Pair it with a fried egg on top for a delicious brunch option!
