Ingredients

• 500 grams Cooked potatoes
• 250 grams Cooked beef or pork (leftover roast or steak)
• 1 large Yellow onion
• 2 tablespoons Unsalted butter
• 1 tablespoon Vegetable oil
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
• 4 large Eggs
• 100 grams Pickled beets (optional, for serving)
• 1 cup Brown sauce or gravy (optional, for serving)
• 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley

Directions

Step 1

Peel and dice the cooked potatoes into small cubes, about 1 cm (1/2 inch) in size.

Step 2

Dice the cooked meat into similarly sized cubes as the potatoes.

Step 3

Peel and finely chop the onion.

Step 4

Heat a large skillet over medium heat. Add the butter and vegetable oil to the pan and let it melt and heat up.

Step 5

Add the chopped onions to the pan and sauté for 3-4 minutes until they become translucent and slightly golden.

Step 6

Increase the heat to medium-high and add the diced potatoes to the skillet. Spread them out evenly into a single layer and cook for 6-8 minutes, stirring occasionally, until they start to crisp up and turn golden brown.

Step 7

Add the diced meat to the skillet. Stir to combine and cook for another 5-6 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the meat is warmed through and slightly browned.

Step 8

Season the mixture with salt and black pepper to taste. Stir to ensure everything is well-coated in seasoning.

Step 9

In a separate non-stick pan, heat a small amount of butter or oil over medium-low heat. Crack eggs into the pan and cook them sunny-side up or to your preferred doneness.

Step 10

Divide the hash evenly among four plates. Top each portion with a fried egg and garnish with freshly chopped parsley.

Step 11

Serve immediately with pickled beets and brown sauce or gravy on the side, if desired.
