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.

Last week Brian and I finally got around to hiring Last week Brian and I finally got around to hiring a sitter for a rare night out. We went to dinner at @publicna and took advantage of the opportunity with drinks, appetizers and dessert.

It was no surprise that Public was close to full on a Wednesday night - everything was so good.

Published on December 30, 2022 By Emily. Updated on December 30, 2022

It’s hard to believe that 2022 is basically behind us. Though overall this year found me getting back to the person I want to be (post-babies and “post”-pandemic), I did not try nearly as many new recipes this year as I used to. In fact, I was pleasantly surprised to see that I’d made note of any new-to-me recipes I wanted to share in this post. This year’s list is short, but delicious. It includes recipes from @budgetbytes, @smittenkitchen and @howsweeteats.

@coastalmainebotanicalgardens continues to be one @coastalmainebotanicalgardens continues to be one of the highlights of all my return trips to Boothbay and their annual Gardens Aglow event continues to impress. It was great to be back to walking the gardens instead of the pandemic drive through and there seemed to be more lights than ever.  I'm already looking forward to next year.

Fall in the Berkshires is always incredible, but t Fall in the Berkshires is always incredible, but this year we've had weather that has also been outstanding. The past 2 weekends have included time at Jaeschke Orchards, the Greylock Glen, and the Ashuwillticook Rail Trail as well as stopping to photograph any random foliage I see. 
Check out the last slide for video of some feathered friends we saw on a walk.

@freshgrassfestival continues to be one of my favo @freshgrassfestival continues to be one of my favorite events each year, and it doesn't hurt that it's just minutes away from home. Enjoying the festival with my kids is definitely a different experience than without, but it's still a good time. The weather was especially cooperative today which was great for all the laps I did around the @massmoca campus pushing a stroller. I'm already looking forward to next year.
