The term "hash" derives from the French word "hacher," meaning "to chop," which reflects the dish's method of combining various diced ingredients.

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.
