Crispy Breakfast Potato Hash with Peppers and Onions

Crispy Breakfast Potato Hash with Peppers and Onions

Crispy breakfast potato hash with peppers and onions is a one-skillet dish that holds its own with or without eggs on top. Nocellara del Belice N°11's robust, grassy character suits a dish with this much going on in the pan.

Ingredients

  • 2 pounds russet potatoes, diced
  • 1/3 cup Nocellara del Belice N°11
  • 1 bell pepper, diced
  • 1 onion, diced
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
  • Salt and pepper, to taste
  • Fresh parsley, chopped

Instructions

  1. Bring a pot of salted water to a boil, add the diced potatoes, and par-boil 5 minutes, just until slightly softened but not falling apart.
  2. Drain the potatoes well and spread them on a towel to pat dry, this step matters, excess moisture keeps them from crisping.
  3. Heat Nocellara del Belice N°11 in a large skillet over medium-high heat until shimmering.
  4. Add the potatoes in a single layer and let them cook undisturbed 4 to 5 minutes, resist the urge to stir, this is what builds a deep golden crust.
  5. Add the bell pepper, onion, garlic, and smoked paprika, and cook 8 to 10 minutes more, stirring occasionally, until the vegetables soften and the potatoes turn crisp and golden all over.
  6. Season with salt and pepper and finish with a scatter of fresh parsley before serving hot.

Frequently Asked Questions

What's the trick to crispy hash?

Par-boiling the potatoes first is what gets you a crisp exterior and fluffy interior.

Why aren't my potatoes browning?

Probably too much stirring. Let the potatoes sit undisturbed, that's what browns them.

How can I make this heartier?

Top with a fried egg for a heartier plate.
