Instructions
Prepare the Potatoes
- Peel and dice the cooked potatoes into small cubes. Use boiled or leftover potatoes for the best texture.
Chop the Onion

Heat the Pan

Season the Hash

Fry Until Crispy

Garnish and Serve
- Sprinkle fresh parsley over the hash. Serve hot with eggs, toast, or your favorite sides.
Notes
- Use leftover boiled potatoes for quicker preparation.
- Add diced bell peppers or peas for extra color and flavor.
- Try a pinch of cayenne or chili powder for a spicy kick.
- Cook in butter for a richer taste or oil for a lighter version.
- Serve with fried eggs, baked beans or sautéed mushrooms for a full meal.
