Cuisine: American
Serves: 4 servings
Ingredients
- Kale, chopped
- Potatoes, diced
- Onion, chopped
- Garlic, minced
- Olive oil
- Salt and pepper
- Eggs (optional)
Instructions
- Wash and thoroughly dry the kale, potatoes, and onion. Chop the kale into bite-sized pieces, dice the potatoes into small, uniform cubes (about 1/2 inch), and finely chop the onion.
- Heat olive oil in a large skillet or cast-iron pan over medium-high heat. The pan should be large enough to allow the potatoes to crisp without overcrowding.
- Add the diced potatoes to the hot pan, spreading them in a single layer. Cook without stirring for 4-5 minutes to allow the potatoes to develop a golden-brown crispy exterior.
- Stir the potatoes and continue cooking, turning occasionally, until they are golden and crisp on multiple sides, about 8-10 minutes total.
- Add chopped onions and minced garlic to the potatoes. Sauté for 2-3 minutes until the onions become translucent and fragrant.
- Add the chopped kale to the skillet, stirring to combine with the potatoes and onions. Cook for 3-4 minutes until the kale is wilted and bright green.
- Season the hash generously with salt and freshly ground black pepper, tasting and adjusting seasoning as needed.
- Optional: If desired, create small wells in the hash and crack eggs directly into them. Cover the skillet and cook for 3-4 minutes until egg whites are set but yolks remain runny.
- Remove from heat and serve immediately, garnishing with additional fresh ground pepper or herbs if desired.
Tips
- Prep Ahead: To save time in the morning, you can chop your vegetables the night before and store them in the fridge. This way, you can quickly throw everything together when you're ready to cook.
- Get Crispy Potatoes: Make sure your skillet is hot before adding the diced potatoes. This helps them crisp up nicely. Avoid stirring them too often; let them sit for a few minutes to develop a golden crust.
- Customize Your Hash: Feel free to add other vegetables like bell peppers or zucchini, or even swap kale for spinach or Swiss chard based on your preference.
- Perfect Eggs: If you’re adding eggs, crack them into the wells of the hash and cover the skillet to help the steam cook the tops of the eggs while keeping the yolks runny. Adjust the cooking time based on how you like your eggs!
- Season to Taste: Don’t be shy with the seasoning! Taste your hash as you go, and feel free to add spices like paprika or red pepper flakes for an extra kick.
