Save to Pinterest A hearty, comforting skillet dish featuring crispy potatoes, sautéed onions, and sliced hot dogs, finished with perfectly cooked eggs. Ideal for breakfast, brunch, or a quick dinner.
I first made this hash for a weekend brunch at home. The crispy potatoes and savory hot dogs became an instant favorite with everyone gathered around the table.
Ingredients
- Potatoes: 4 medium (about 600 g), peeled and diced
- Onion: 1 medium, finely chopped
- Bell pepper: 1, diced (optional)
- Hot dogs or sausages: 4, sliced into 1 cm rounds
- Eggs: 4 large
- Vegetable oil: 3 tbsp
- Salt and black pepper: to taste
- Smoked paprika: 1/2 tsp (optional)
- Fresh parsley: 1 tbsp chopped (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
- Cook potatoes:
- Heat 2 tablespoons of oil in a large non-stick skillet over medium heat. Add diced potatoes and cook, stirring occasionally, for 10 – 12 minutes until golden and starting to soften.
- Add vegetables:
- Add chopped onion and bell pepper (if using). Cook for another 5 minutes until the vegetables are soft and slightly caramelized.
- Brown hot dogs:
- Stir in sliced hot dogs or sausages. Cook for 3 – 4 minutes until lightly browned.
- Season:
- Sprinkle with smoked paprika, salt, and black pepper. Mix well.
- Add eggs:
- Create four small wells in the hash. Add remaining oil if pan looks dry. Crack an egg into each well.
- Cook eggs:
- Cover skillet and cook for 5 – 7 minutes until the egg whites are set but yolks remain runny (or to your desired doneness).
- Finish and serve:
- Remove from heat, garnish with chopped parsley, and serve immediately.
