Here’s a delicious recipe for Smoky Bacon, Potato, and Cheddar Hash that’s hearty, satisfying, and easy to make! Perfect for breakfast, brunch, or even a cozy dinner. 🥓🧀🥔
Ingredients:
- 4 slices of smoky bacon (chopped)
- 3 medium potatoes (peeled and diced into small cubes)
- 1 small onion (finely chopped)
- 1 red bell pepper (diced)
- 2 tablespoons olive oil or bacon drippings
- 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
- Salt and black pepper (to taste)
- 1 cup sharp cheddar cheese (grated)
- 2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley (optional, for garnish)
- Optional: Eggs (fried, poached, or scrambled, for serving)
Instructions:
- Cook the bacon:
- Heat a large skillet over medium heat and cook the chopped bacon until crispy.
- Remove the bacon from the pan and set it aside. Leave about 1-2 tablespoons of the drippings in the pan (or use olive oil if preferred).
- Prepare the potatoes:
- Add the diced potatoes to the skillet and cook over medium heat for 8–10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until golden and tender.
- Sauté the veggies:
- Push the potatoes to one side of the skillet. Add the onions and red bell pepper, cooking until softened (about 5 minutes).
- Sprinkle the smoked paprika, salt, and black pepper over everything, then stir to combine.
- Combine the bacon and cheese:
- Stir the crispy bacon back into the skillet. Sprinkle the grated cheddar cheese over the top and cover the skillet with a lid for 1–2 minutes, just until the cheese melts.
- Garnish and serve:
- Remove from heat, sprinkle with fresh parsley, and serve immediately.
- For extra indulgence, top each portion with a fried or poached egg.
Enjoy your smoky, cheesy hash that’s bursting with flavor and comfort! 🍳✨
