Red Potato Breakfast Hash with Smoked Gouda
This Red Potato Breakfast Hash with Smoked Gouda combines creamy red potatoes, smoky melted Gouda, and plenty of sauteed black and brown crispy bits in every fork full!
Servings: 4 servings
Ingredients
- 2 lbs Red Potatoes diced
- ½ lb Bacon cut into quarter strips
- 1 Red Onion chopped
- 1 Red Pepper chopped
- 1 cup shredded Smoked Gouda
- 4 eggs
- 2 green onions chopped
- 1 tablespoon vinegar
- Oil
- Salt
- Pepper
Instructions
- Boil a pot of salted water, add vinegar and chopped potatoes and boil until easily pierced with a fork. About 10 minutes. Then remove from water and set aside.
- While the potatoes are boiling, saute peppers in lightly oiled pan until crisp tender and starting to char, then remove from skillet.
- Add more oil if needed and saute red onions until softened and starting to char, then remove from skillet.
- Saute bacon in skillet until crisp, then remove from skillet, leaving the bacon fat.
- Add potatoes to heated skillet with bacon fat and cook until browned on all sides, tossing as needed. Sprinkle with additional salt and pepper, add bacon, onions, and peppers back into the skillet to warm then sprinkle Smoked Gouda over the mixture.
- Cook up eggs over-easy, poached, or sunny side up in separate pan (remember to salt the eggs) then place on top of hash and sprinkle generously with chopped green onion.
- Serve onto 4 plates, ensuring each person gets an egg.
Notes
This can all be made in a 12" skillet, but I prefer to brown the potatoes in one 12" skillet and one 9" skillet so they aren't as crowded.
Also, adding vinegar to the water helps ensure the potato doesn't fall apart when boiling, if overcooked.
