Chilied Bacon and Potato Hash
Chilied Bacon and Potato Hash
Potato, bacon, onions cooked as a hash with cumin and chili powder, drop a couple of eggs on the top and cover to let them set, just a little, excellent! I made this on 19 Sep 2016 and this is a keeper! My Thai wife took one bite and gave me 2 thumbs up!
Ingredients
- 400 grams bacon, cut into 1 inch pieces, this is 2 regular packages
- 2 tablespoons red chili flakes, optional
- 4-6 potatoes, diced, peeled or unpeeled is up to you
- 2 tablespoons butter
- splash olive oil
- 4 tablespoons fresh parsley, finely chopped
- 1 medium onion, diced
- 1 large shallot, diced
- salt and pepper, to taste
- 4-6 eggs, or as many as you want to use
- 1 teaspoon chili powder, heaping
- 1 1/2 teaspoons ground cumin, heaping
- black pepper, to taste
Instructions
- Using a large heavy bottom pan, cast iron would be ideal, Add the butter and a splash of olive oil, set on medium to medium low heat, add in the diced onion, shallot, and chopped bacon, stir this once in a while and as you are dicing the potatoes add them to the pan. add potatoes until the pan is near full, they will cook down as well.
- As the potatoes cook, sprinkle in the cumin, chili powder, and black pepper, stir the potatoes occasionally.
- When the potatoes are tender, spread the potatoes out fairly flat and start dropping in eggs. I used 6 eggs but one yolk broke, when that happens it just sinks down into the hash like the whites do. Sprinkle some black pepper on the eggs (cannot have enough black pepper).
- Cover for a few minutes and check on the eggs, whites should be set in the hash, and the eggs should be a nice sunny side up.
- Serve. Not a great looking dish plated, but the taste is outstanding!
Notes
Easy meal for under $1 per person.
For options, instead of bacon, use sausage, breakfast sausage, ham, or a little of each! Add some chopped red, yellow, or green bell pepper, or even some hot sauce splashed on. Can also beat the eggs first and just pour into the pan over the hash and cover and cook to see the eggs, or place (oven proof pan keep in mind) in the oven and broil. Totally up to you.

I made this on 19 Sep 2016, and wow is this good! The cumin and chili powder are amazing in this. The whites of the eggs set in the hash and bind most of it together. Excellent, and my Thai wife, two thumbs up after 1 bite! On my Go-to list and our regular rotation.
