Pin A hearty, comforting skillet dish featuring crispy potatoes, sautéed onions, and sliced hot dogs, finished with perfectly cooked eggs. Ideal for breakfast, brunch, or a quick dinner.
I first made this hash on a busy weekend morning when everyone wanted something filling but easy. The crispy potatoes paired perfectly with the savory hot dogs, making it an instant family favorite.
Ingredients
- Potatoes: 4 medium, about 600 g, peeled and diced
- Onion: 1 medium, finely chopped
- Bell pepper (optional): 1, diced
- Hot dogs or sausages: 4, sliced into 1 cm rounds
- Eggs: 4 large
- Vegetable oil: 3 tbsp
- Salt and black pepper: To taste
- Smoked paprika (optional): 1/2 tsp
- Fresh parsley (optional, for garnish): 1 tbsp, chopped
Instructions
- Cook potatoes:
- Heat 2 tablespoons of oil in a large non-stick skillet over medium heat. Add the diced potatoes and cook, stirring occasionally, for 10–12 minutes until golden and starting to soften.
- Add vegetables:
- Add the chopped onion and bell pepper (if using). Cook for another 5 minutes until the vegetables are soft and slightly caramelized.
- Add protein:
- Stir in the sliced hot dogs or sausages. Cook for 3–4 minutes until lightly browned.
- Season:
- Sprinkle with smoked paprika, salt, and black pepper. Mix well.
- Add eggs:
- Create four small wells in the hash. Add the remaining tablespoon of oil if the pan looks dry. Crack an egg into each well.
- Finish cooking:
- Cover the skillet and cook for 5–7 minutes, or until the egg whites are set but the yolks remain runny (or to your desired doneness).
- Garnish and serve:
- Remove from heat, garnish with chopped parsley, and serve immediately.
