Breakfast Potato Hash with Peppers and Onions
A breakfast potato hash with peppers and onions is a simple but satisfying dish that can be made in just a few minutes. The key to a great breakfast potato hash is to use crispy, golden-brown potatoes. To achieve this, we cook the potatoes in a well-seasoned cast-iron skillet over medium heat. The potatoes are cooked until they are tender on the inside and crispy on the outside. We then add diced bell peppers and onions to the skillet and cook them until they are softened. Finally, we season the hash with salt, pepper, and other desired spices. For extra richness, we add a pat of vegan butter and let it melt into the hash. The hash is then garnished with fresh herbs, if desired.
The origins of breakfast potato hash are murky, but it is thought to have originated in the United States in the early 1900s. Hash was a popular way to use up leftover potatoes, and it was often served with eggs and toast for breakfast. Over time, hash evolved into a more elaborate dish, with the addition of other ingredients such as peppers, onions, and meat. Today, breakfast potato hash is a popular dish all over the world, and it can be found on the menus of many restaurants. It is a simple but satisfying dish that can be made with a variety of ingredients, making it a versatile option for any meal.
