Tips
- For perfectly poached eggs, crack each egg into a small bowl before sliding into the simmering water.
- If potatoes are not tender after cooking, cover the skillet and let them steam for a few minutes.
Storage
Store leftover hash in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days. Reheat gently in a skillet over low heat.
Freezing: This dish does not freeze well due to the texture changes in the potatoes and eggs.
Serving Suggestions
- Serve with a side of toasted sourdough bread or a fresh green salad.
