Here's a simple and delicious breakfast hash recipe that can be prepared on a griddle:
Ingredients:
- 3-4 medium potatoes, diced (you can use Yukon gold or russet potatoes)
- 1 onion, finely chopped
- 1 bell pepper, diced
- 1 cup diced cooked ham or breakfast sausage (optional)
- 2-3 tablespoons cooking oil
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 1 teaspoon paprika (optional, for added flavor)
- Chopped fresh parsley or green onions for garnish (optional)
Instructions:
-
Preheat the Griddle:
- Begin by preheating your griddle to medium-high heat.
-
Prepare the Ingredients:
- Dice the potatoes into small cubes, ensuring they are relatively uniform in size for even cooking.
- Finely chop the onion and dice the bell pepper.
-
Cooking the Hash:
- Spread the cooking oil evenly over the griddle's surface.
- Add the diced potatoes, chopped onion, and bell pepper to the griddle. Spread them out into a single layer to allow for even cooking.
