Loaded Breakfast Hash

Introduction

Few dishes rival the hearty, crowd-pleasing satisfaction of a Loaded Breakfast Hash. Bursting with golden potatoes, crispy bacon, vibrant vegetables, and perfectly cooked eggs, this one-pan wonder is both filling and infinitely customizable. The aroma alone is enough to bring everyone to the table, making it an ideal breakfast or brunch centerpiece for weekends, holidays, or those mornings when you want to start the day off with a flavor-packed punch.

Why Make Loaded Breakfast Hash?

Loaded Breakfast Hash delivers maximum flavor with minimum fuss. Everything cooks together in one pan, giving you rich layers of savory goodness and easy cleanup. The combination of crisped potatoes, sizzling bacon, sweet onions and peppers, and creamy eggs covers every breakfast craving. Plus, it’s the ultimate adaptable recipe: use whatever veggies and proteins you have on hand to create your signature hash.

Prepping the Ingredients

Efficiency and consistency make all the difference for perfectly cooked hash. To quickly dice your potatoes, onions, and peppers, use the Mueller Pro-Series 10-in-1, 8 Blade Vegetable Chopper. It ensures even chopping for uniform cooking and saves precious time on busy mornings.

Chop your bacon, potatoes, onion, peppers, and any other add-ins you love, such as mushrooms or spinach. If you prefer a vegetarian hash, simply replace bacon with additional veggies or plant-based sausage.

The Perfect Skillet

A quality skillet is essential to achieving those golden, crispy edges on your hash. The SENSARTE Nonstick Frying Pan Skillet, 9.5 Inch is ideal for hash, providing reliable heat retention and a nonstick surface for easy flipping and cleanup. If you like a rustic touch, a cast iron skillet works beautifully as well.

Cooking Your Loaded Breakfast Hash

Start by crisping the bacon until golden, then set aside, letting the fat render for maximum flavor in your potatoes. Sauté the potatoes in the same skillet until deeply golden and fork-tender, followed by the addition of onions, bell peppers, and any extra vegetables. Once everything is nearly done, make small wells in the hash and carefully crack eggs into them, covering the skillet to set the eggs to your desired doneness.

Loaded Breakfast Hash Ingredients

• 4 slices bacon, chopped (or substitute plant-based sausage)
• 2 cups russet or Yukon gold potatoes, diced small
• 1 small yellow onion, diced
• 1 red bell pepper, diced
• 1 green bell pepper, diced
• 1 cup cremini mushrooms, sliced (optional)
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• Salt and pepper, to taste
• ½ teaspoon smoked paprika (optional)
• 4 large eggs
• Fresh parsley or chives, for garnish
• Grated cheddar cheese, for topping (optional)

Instructions

1. Heat a SENSARTE Nonstick Frying Pan Skillet, 9.5 Inch over medium heat. Add chopped bacon and cook until crispy. Transfer bacon to a paper towel-lined plate, leaving fat in the pan.
2. Add diced potatoes to the skillet. Cook for 8–10 minutes, stirring frequently, until golden and starting to soften. Add olive oil if needed for extra browning.
3. Add onions, bell peppers, and mushrooms (if using) to the potatoes. Season with salt, pepper, and smoked paprika. Sauté for 5–7 minutes, or until veggies are tender and potatoes are cooked through.
4. Return cooked bacon to the skillet and stir to combine.
5. Using a Farberware Professional Heat Resistant Nylon Meat and Potato Masher, gently create four wells in the hash for the eggs.
6. Crack an egg into each well. Cover the skillet and cook for 3–5 minutes, or until egg whites are set but yolks remain runny. For firmer yolks, cook a minute or two longer.
7. Sprinkle with cheese and herbs, if desired. Serve immediately.
