Total Time: 35 mins
Cuisine: American
Serves: 4 servings
Ingredients
- 2 medium potatoes, diced
- 1 can chickpeas, drained and rinsed
- 1 bell pepper, diced
- 1/2 onion, chopped
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
- Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
- Prepare all ingredients by washing and dicing potatoes into small, uniform 1/2-inch cubes. Drain and rinse chickpeas thoroughly. Dice bell pepper and chop onion into small pieces.
- Heat olive oil in a large skillet or cast-iron pan over medium-high heat. Ensure the pan is large enough to allow ingredients to crisp without overcrowding.
- Add diced potatoes to the hot skillet, spreading them in a single layer. Cook for 8-10 minutes, stirring occasionally to ensure even browning and prevent sticking. Potatoes should develop a golden-brown crispy exterior.
- Add chopped onions and bell peppers to the skillet. Continue cooking for an additional 5-6 minutes until vegetables start to soften and caramelize.
- Introduce drained chickpeas to the skillet. Sprinkle smoked paprika, salt, and pepper evenly over the mixture. Gently stir to combine and ensure all ingredients are well-coated with seasoning.
- Continue cooking for another 5-7 minutes, allowing chickpeas to develop a slight crisp and potatoes to become fully golden and tender. Taste and adjust seasonings as needed.
- Remove from heat and let the hash rest for 2-3 minutes. This allows flavors to meld and ingredients to settle.
- Serve hot directly from the skillet. Optional: Garnish with fresh herbs like chopped parsley or chives for added freshness and color.
Tips
- Potato Perfection: Cut potatoes into uniform 1/2-inch cubes to ensure even cooking and maximum crispiness.
- Don't Overcrowd: Use a large skillet and spread ingredients in a single layer to achieve that coveted crispy texture.
- Oil Temperature Matters: Start with medium-high heat to get a perfect golden-brown crust on your potatoes.
- Seasoning Secret: Smoked paprika is the key to adding depth and complexity to your hash.
- Crisp Technique: Let ingredients sit undisturbed for a few minutes between stirring to develop a nice crispy exterior.
- Customization is Key: Feel free to add additional vegetables or swap spices to make the recipe your own.
- Garnish Gracefully: Fresh herbs like parsley or chives can elevate the dish's flavor and visual appeal.
