Low Stress Dinner: Simple Potato Hash

Published on December 20, 2012 By Emily. Updated on August 8, 2020

Jump to Recipe Print Recipe

Christmas is just days away.  I’m really looking forward to it.  Brian and I are spending Christmas just the two of us for the first time ever and then we’re going to visit my parents and my sister and her husband and my nephew.  I’m proud of the presents I’ve bought.  I have some cooking projects coming up I’m looking forward to.  Tomorrow is the last day of school this year. But I am tired.  The week before school break always seems to drag on and, with last Friday’s tragedy in Connecticut, this week has been extra long.  It’s times like these that I reach for simple, comforting, relatively fast meals.

hash
I love making and eating hash.  It’s never the same twice, but that’s okay.  This dish is perfect for breakfast, or breakfast for dinner.  I love potatoes (anytime, all the time) and they’re especially awesome when cooked and browned along with an onion. This dish reheats well and it’s easy to make a larger or smaller batch.  Hash is also a great way to use up random vegetables left in the fridge, including beets, kohlrabi and peppers.

Simple Potato Hash

Print Recipe Pin Recipe
Prep Time 10 minutes mins
Cook Time 15 minutes mins
Servings 4 servings

Ingredients
  

  • 1 medium onion
  • 2 lbs assorted potatoes I used a mix of potatoes and sweet potatoes from our CSA
  • Olive oil

Optional additions

  • eggs
  • hot sauce
  • shredded cheese
  • diced green or red peppers
  • diced beets or kohlrabi
  • diced cooked ham or steak

Instructions
 

  • Dice the onion and cook in 2 tablespoons of oil in a deep pan over medium heat.
  • While the onion is cooking on medium, dice the potatoes. I like to keep my dice pretty small.
  • Add the potatoes (and any other vegetables you're using) to the pan. Season with salt and pepper.
  • Cook the potatoes for 15 minutes, stirring occasionally (but not too often or they won’t brown).
  • After 15 minutes, poke the potatoes with a fork. Serve when cooked through, topped with cheese or hot sauce, if you choose.
  • If you're serving eggs on top of your hash, turn the heat to low and cook your eggs.  Serve the eggs on top of the potatoes.

Despite the cool temperatures and wet weather, we Despite the cool temperatures and wet weather, we had another fantastic year at @freshgrassfestival. I can never get over how, in addition to all the incredible music, the event features a great venue (@massmoca), delicious food from mostly local vendors, a great local beer tent and bar stocked with @berkshiremtdist and a kid-friendly atmosphere including a @kidspacemm art tent.
Shout-out to some of my favorite acts of the day @ajleebluesummit, @cj_field with @gregcaproni and @theblacklegacyproject.

Looking forward to next year!

I made my first ever trip to @seconddropfarm in La I made my first ever trip to @seconddropfarm in Lanesborough this morning to pick blueberries with my daughter. We had a lovely time at the farm, and especially enjoyed the short walk to the lush blueberry bushes, and the beautiful flower and lavender fields. We didn't participate in pick-your-own flowers today, but it's definitely on my radar for the future.
We are looking forward to some muffin baking soon! 🫐
