Cuisine: Breakfast
Serves: 4 servings
Ingredients
- 2 large russet potatoes, peeled and diced
- 1 large sweet potato, peeled and diced
- 1 large onion, diced
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 tsp smoked paprika
- Salt and pepper, to taste
- 2 tbsp olive oil
Instructions
- Begin by preparing all your ingredients. Peel and dice the two large russet potatoes and the large sweet potato into small, even cubes. This ensures they cook evenly.
- Next, dice the large onion and mince the two cloves of garlic. Set these aside with the diced potatoes.
- In a large skillet, heat the 2 tablespoons of olive oil over medium heat. Allow the oil to heat for about a minute until it shimmers slightly.
- Add the diced russet and sweet potatoes to the skillet. Spread them out in an even layer and let them cook undisturbed for about 5-7 minutes. This will help them develop a nice golden-brown crust.
- After 5-7 minutes, use a spatula to flip the potatoes, allowing them to cook on the other side. Continue cooking for another 5-7 minutes until they are tender and golden brown. If they start to stick, you can add a little more olive oil.
- Once the potatoes are cooked, push them to one side of the skillet. Add the diced onion to the empty side and cook for about 3-4 minutes until they begin to soften.
- Stir in the minced garlic and cook for an additional minute, until fragrant. Be careful not to let the garlic burn.
- Combine the potatoes and onions together in the skillet. Sprinkle in the 1 teaspoon of smoked paprika, and season with salt and pepper to taste. Stir well to ensure that all the ingredients are evenly coated with the spices.
- Continue to cook the hash for another 5-10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until everything is heated through and the flavors meld together.
- Once the hash is ready, remove it from the heat and let it sit for a couple of minutes. This will allow the flavors to settle.
- Serve the Russet and Sweet Potato Skillet Hash warm, garnished with fresh herbs if desired. Enjoy your delicious breakfast dish!
Tips
- Prep Ahead: To save time in the morning, you can peel and dice the potatoes and onions the night before. Store them in an airtight container in the refrigerator to keep them fresh.
- Uniform Size: Make sure to cut your potatoes into evenly sized cubes. This ensures they cook evenly and develop that perfect crispy texture.
- Don’t Rush the Browning: Allow the potatoes to cook undisturbed for the first few minutes. This helps create a delicious golden crust that adds flavor and texture to the dish.
- Adjust the Heat: If you find that the potatoes are browning too quickly, lower the heat slightly. You want them to cook through without burning.
- Add Your Twist: Feel free to customize the hash by adding your favorite vegetables, such as bell peppers or spinach, for extra color and nutrition.
- Garnish for Extra Flavor: Top your skillet hash with fresh herbs like parsley or chives for a pop of color and a burst of fresh flavor before serving.
- Serving Suggestions: Pair your hash with a fried or poached egg on top for added protein and richness, making it a complete breakfast that will keep you satisfied all morning!
