Easy Breakfast Hash
This is a fantastic savory breakfast but also makes an excellent dinner too! It’s incredibly easy and perfectly hearty and satisfying. Truly it’s just stick-to-your-ribs good food! It’s also a versatile recipe with lots of options to swap out ingredients (such as using cooked sausage in place of ham) or add seasonings you enjoy (such as cajun seasoning). It may soon become one of those recipes that you’re family enjoys so much you’ll have it memorized. And there’s really not a whole lot to it, just some basic ingredients you can always keep stashed in your fridge. If you really want to go all out pair it with buttermilk pancakes – finished with blueberry syrup and whipped cream of course!

How to Make Breakfast Hash
Variations
Use cooked sausage or chorizo in place of ham. Start with about 12 oz, then cook and crumble in a skillet (before beginning with this recipe) until it’s cooked through and drain fat – or use the fat in place of butter. Add other vegetables such as spinach, mushrooms, tomatoes etc. Try with other good melting cheeses such as Swiss, provolone, Muenster etc. Sprinkle with spices to taste. Cajun seasoning is a good option or single spices such as paprika, garlic powder or cayenne pepper. Use olive oil in place of butter if preferred. Trade yellow onion for red onion or even green onions. Add diced avocado over servings. Use the breakfast hash as filling in breakfast tacos. Just add salsa or pico de gallo! I prefer the shredded hash brown potatoes but the cubed potatoes should work great too. If you can’t find the refrigerated hash browns frozen should work as well, just follow their specific cooking guidelines.
Storage and Reheating Instructions
If you have leftovers store in the fridge in an airtight container up to 3 days. Reheat individual portions in the microwave on a microwave safe plate on 50% power until heated through.
