Ingredients
  

Kielbasa breakfast hash
  • 12 oz kielbasa
  • 3 potatoes medium, peeled and diced
  • 1 onion small, diced
  • 1 red bell pepper diced
  • 3 tbsp butter
  • 4 eggs large
  • 0.25 tsp salt to taste
  • 0.25 tsp pepper to taste
  • 2 tbsp fresh chives for garnish

Equipment

  • 1 cast iron skillet

Method
 

Cook the kielbasa and start the hash
  1. 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).
  2. 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
  1. 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
  1. 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).
  2. 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.
