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.

After months of good intentions, I finally got aro After months of good intentions, I finally got around to making Change Your Life Chicken from @thelazygenius. It totally lived up the the hype: super crispy chicken skin, flavorful vegetables that didn't burn, and a recipe that was easy and largely hands off. I'll be adding this one to the regular rotation.

Happy first day of spring! It actually felt like s Happy first day of spring! It actually felt like spring here, which was lovely. In addition to playing in the yard and going for walks, we enjoyed dinner from @aokberkshirebbq. Pictured is their excellent sausage sandwich (left), brisket sandwich (right) and potato salad. So delicious.

When @wholefully announced their new #MakeItWholef When @wholefully announced their new #MakeItWholefully Cooking Club, I immediately got excited about participating. My excitement increased when I saw that the recipe for this quarter is Easy Chicken Quesadillas. These quesadillas are so much better than what I usually make. I'm not sure if the taco seasoning (I don't usually add cumin to mine), the fresh bell peppers or the burrito-sized tortillas, but this recipe makes a quesadilla that  reminds me of eating at restaurants. (Remember eating at restaurants?) Everyone in my household loved this recipe and I will definitely be making it again.

In January I decided that one of my "deliberate" s In January I decided that one of my "deliberate" sub-goals for 2021 would be to figure out the best pizza dough recipe and topping combinations for my family. We've had pizza night on the menu for a long time, but I knew that I could improve the pizzas that were coming out of my oven. Each week (or so) I've been sharing in my Stories the pizzas I've made with various stores and toppings. I am eight weeks in I've already learned a lot about technique and what I prefer in a pizza crust and toppings. I'm also looking forward to seeing what the rest of the year will hold in my pizza making studies. Check out my highlights for all the pizzas so far!

In typical 2020 fashion, I had all kinds of issues getting my Top 9 created this year and this image still has problems. 
But the images are accurate and nicely summarize the year - take out from local establishments (@aokberkshirebbq, @thebreakroomgw, @northadamsfarmersmarket), #RelishmentsBakes projects, the natural beauty of the Berkshires and our successful container garden.

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.
