Prep Time: 10 minutes
Cook Time: 20–25 minutes
Total Time: 30–35 minutes
Servings: 4
Calories per serving: Approximately 450–550 kcal

Ingredients

• 600 g boiled potatoes, cooled and sliced (or diced for extra crispiness)
• 200 g cooked beef (leftover roast, corned beef) or bacon, chopped or diced
• 1 large onion, thinly sliced
• Butter or oil (or a mix for best flavor and crisp)
• 4 large eggs
• Salt and black pepper, to taste
• Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)

Instructions

1. Crisp the Potatoes: Heat a generous amount of butter or oil (about 2–3 tbsp) in a large skillet or non-stick pan over medium-high heat. Add the sliced (or diced) boiled potatoes in a single layer if possible. Fry undisturbed for 5–7 minutes until the bottom is golden and crispy, then flip and cook the other side until crisp all over (about 8–10 minutes total). Stir occasionally for even browning.
2. Add Onion & Meat: Push the potatoes to the sides or add more fat if needed. Toss in the sliced onion and cook 3–4 minutes until softened and starting to caramelize. Add the chopped cooked beef or bacon and sauté everything together for another 4–5 minutes until heated through and everything is nicely combined and fragrant.
3. Season Generously: Taste and season with plenty of salt and freshly ground black pepper. The potatoes and meat love bold seasoning!
4. Fry the Eggs: In the same pan (or a separate one), fry the eggs to your liking—sunny side up for runny yolks, over easy, or fully cooked. Season the eggs lightly with salt and pepper.
5. Assemble & Garnish: Divide the crispy potato-meat hash onto plates. Top each portion with one or two fried eggs. Sprinkle generously with chopped fresh parsley for color and freshness.
6. Serve Immediately: Enjoy hot while the eggs are runny and the potatoes are at peak crispiness!

Tips for Success

• Extra Crispy Potatoes: Use day-old boiled potatoes (cold from the fridge) – they crisp up better as they have less moisture.
• Meat Choice: Bacon adds smokiness; leftover beef or corned beef gives a heartier, savory vibe. Both work wonderfully.
• Variations: Add garlic, smoked paprika, or a pinch of chili flakes for extra flavor. For a veggie version, swap meat for mushrooms or bell peppers.
• One-Pan Wonder: Cook everything in one skillet for easy cleanup and built-in flavor.

This easy hash is rustic, delicious, and endlessly customizable—perfect any time of day! Dig in and enjoy! ✨🍳
