One of my favorite things to order when I go out to breakfast is hash - corned beef, roast beef or any other variation - which got me to thinking about trying to make it at home. After all, the ingredients are simple: As long as you've got some kind of protein, potatoes and onions, you're in business. And it makes a fast brunch or even light supper dish, with or without poached eggs. Ingredients:
2 tablespoons vegetable or olive oil |
1 medium-large onion, cut into 1/2-inch dice |
1 small bell pepper (any color), cut into 1/2-inch dice |
1 pound rotisserie chicken meat, pulled into bite-sized pieces |
1 1/2 pounds starchy potatoes (such as idaho), cut into 1/2-inch dice |
2 tablespoons vegetable or olive oil |
2 tablespoons ketchup |
1 tablespoon dijon mustard |
1/2 teaspoon dried chili powder |
2 tablespoons chopped fresh cilantro (or parsley) |
2 tablespoons water |
salt and freshly ground black pepper |
Directions:
1. Heat 2 tablespoons oil over low heat in a 12-inch non-stick skillet (so potatoes don't stick). While skillet heats, prepare onion, bell pepper, and chicken. A few minutes before cooking, increase heat to medium-high. When oil starts to send up wisps of smoke, add onion, pepper and chicken; cook, stirring often, until golden 7 to 8 minutes. Meanwhile, dice potatoes and toss with remaining oil. Transfer chicken mixture to a bowl and reserve.
2. Add potatoes to empty skillet; cook, stirring only occasionally so they form a golden-brown crust, about 10 minutes. As potatoes cook, mix ketchup, mustard, chili powder, chopped fresh cilantro, and 2 tablespoons of water. (Recipe can be prepared to this point up to 2 hours ahead. Spread hot potatoes on a large lipped cookie sheet; cover when cool. Return skillet to medium-high; add potatoes and re-crisp.)
3. Return reserved chicken mixture to skillet; stir in ketchup mixture, then season with salt and pepper. Cook, stirring frequently, until hash has nicely browned, about 5 minutes longer.
