Method
Cook the kielbasa and start the hash
- Melt the butter in a large cast iron skillet over medium-high heat. Add diced kielbasa and cook for 3 minutes, until it begins to brown (look for lightly toasted edges).
- Add the diced potatoes to the skillet. Cook without stirring for 5-7 minutes, so they crisp and turn golden brown on the bottom (watch for a sizzle and color change).
Finish the hash
- Stir in the diced onion and red bell pepper. Cook for another 5 minutes until the potatoes are tender and the edges look deep golden (stir enough to keep everything cooking evenly).
Add the eggs and serve
- Make four wells in the hash and crack an egg into each well. Cover the skillet and cook until the eggs reach your desired doneness, about 4 minutes for runny yolks (the whites should be set while yolks stay liquid).
- Season with salt and pepper and garnish with fresh chives. Serve directly from the skillet, aiming for a runny yolk that spreads over the crispy potatoes.
Notes
Pro tip: don’t stir the potatoes during the first crisping stage—leave them undisturbed so you get those browned edges. Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days; reheat in a skillet until hot. Freezing is not recommended because the eggs won’t hold texture well. If you need a lighter swap, use turkey kielbasa and reduce butter to 2 tbsp.
