The origins of breakfast hash can be traced back to the 19th century, where it was often made from leftover meats and potatoes, allowing households to minimize food waste. The term "hash" derives from the French word "hacher," meaning "to chop," which reflects the dish's method of combining various diced ingredients. Over time, breakfast hash has evolved from a simple frugal meal into a culinary favorite, inspiring countless variations and interpretations.

Ingredients
  

4 medium potatoes, diced

1 red bell pepper, chopped

1 green bell pepper, chopped

1 small onion, diced

2 cups cooked and crumbled breakfast sausage (or bacon for a different flavor)

1 cup chopped kale or spinach

4 large eggs

1 cup shredded cheddar cheese

2 tablespoons olive oil

1 teaspoon garlic powder

Salt and pepper to taste

Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)

Optional: Hot sauce for serving

Instructions
 

Cook the Potatoes: In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add the diced potatoes and season with salt, pepper, and garlic powder. Cook for about 10-15 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the potatoes are golden and tender.

    Add Vegetables: Add the chopped bell peppers and onions to the skillet. Cook for an additional 5 minutes, allowing them to soften.

      Combine Ingredients: Stir in the cooked sausage and chopped kale (or spinach). Cook for another 5 minutes until the greens have wilted down and everything is heated through.

        Cook the Eggs: In a separate small non-stick skillet, fry the eggs sunny-side up, or cook them to your preference.

          Assemble the Hash: Once the hash is fully cooked, top it with the shredded cheddar cheese. Let it cook for a couple more minutes until the cheese is melted.

            Serve: Divide the loaded breakfast hash among plates, top each serving with a fried egg, and garnish with chopped parsley. Serve hot with hot sauce on the side if desired.
