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 mins
Cook Time 15 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.

Apparently, in the weirdness that is 2020, posting Apparently, in the weirdness that is 2020, posting to my Instagram feed was one of the things that didn't make the cut. There are more items than I'd prefer in that category, but recently I've felt like I'm beginning to get my feet firmly planted beneath me again. This fall was so busy with learning how to teach remotely and parent 2 children well. I don't anticipate that life will ever feel not busy, but I've been able to carve out some time lately for activities I've been missing. Making bread is one of those activities. Hopefully, more posts in the feed will be more frequent going forward.

#sponsored All the time we've spent at home lately #sponsored All the time we've spent at home lately has definitely had me looking to expand the snack options in my pantry.  I jumped at the chance to try these @sunmaid Sour Raisins  and they immediately became one of my daughter's favorite snacks. She likes them because they're reminiscent of candy, I like them because they're technically fruit and they come prepackaged for easy snacking and taking on the go. I was pleasantly surprised at how tasty they are!

This weekend's weather was amazing and my family e This weekend's weather was amazing and my family embarked on the only way to kick off fall: we went apple picking at Jaeschke Orchards in Adams.  The parking lot was full, but out in the orchard we hardly came across any other groups.  The trees were heavy with apples and we quickly filled our bag. Looking forward to apples for snacks, pie, crisp and turnovers in the coming weeks.
