One Pan Breakfast Hash

I’ve been thinking about making a breakfast hash for awhile. And today was the day, I was so excited. To get an idea of how to even make a breakfast hash, I did a quick google search to find a recipe to go off of. The first recipe I clicked on said it was necessary to parboil the potatoes before I fried them. I immediately thought to myself, two pans to wash? Nope.

Imma do it my way, ain’t nobody tell me what to do.

First, I stopped by the grocery store to buy some cheese, eggs, and sausage. Has anyone else noticed that egg prices have gone up? Maybe I never paid attention to the price before.

I get home, and I immediately lay out all the ingredient I’m going to use. The only real ingredients you need are potatoes, eggs, and cheese. All those other vegetables I happened to have. You do you boo. When I see a ton of ingredient in a recipe I usually roll my eyes and choose which ones I think are most important.

I used mini bell peppers, golden potatoes, shredded cheese, eggs, sausage, pre-minced garlic (because ain’t nobody got time for that), cherry tomatoes, spinach, and mushroom. Wow that’s a mouthful.

First, lay down some of that fine minced garlic with some cooking oil in a pan and turn it to lowish medium. This is for all those haters who say my food is bland.

Toss those potatoes into the pan and put the lid on so it’ll cook faster. Don’t forget to keep stirring those potatoes though, you don’t want those babies to burn. You put too much effort into cooking to have it go to waste.

Slice up some bell peppers. I tried twisting off the stem, but that was too much work so I just lopped that top off.

Look how beautiful this pan is looking.

Toss in some cherry tomatoes.

Slice up some mushrooms. Gonna be real, I don’t know if mushrooms are really meant for a hash. They didn’t really add that much to the dish.

Cut up some sausages (raw). This is where I realized I probably should’ve cooked the sausages first and that maybe you’re probably not supposed to cut raw sausages… it gets kind of ugly.

Oooo this hash is starting to look really good.

Ugh these sausages were kind of hard to cook with so much other stuff in the pan. So I kind of pushed them down in the middle of the pan and hoped for the best.

I added a shot of water into the pan and covered the lid to help the cooking process by steaming it. Don’t forget to keep stirring so your food doesn’t burn.

Then I whisked a couple of eggs with some water. Why water? I don’t know, I saw it on television! Then I mixed some cheese into the mixture and poured it into the pan. Wait for it took cook a little bit, then start stirring your pan again. I think I did it too early and my eggs disintegrated.

Add a bunch of spinach to add some green to the pan. Put in a bunch because spinach spoils quickly and there’s no use in trying to save it for later.

This is where my small pan really presents a problem. How can I get this spinach to cook?? I use my spatula to smoosh the spinach into the bottom middle of the pan in the hopes that it’ll cook and slam that lid on top so my spinach can cook more easily.

Keep stirring your food and then check to see if your potatoes are cooked. If they are, you are done!!! Wow it looks so beautiful.

Food looks okay, it meets my standards! Add in some hot tea to cut that greasy food and you are set for dinner.

I have a confession to make guys, I don’t really like cooking. Like my dream would be to marry a guy who likes cooking, cleaning, and driving (okay, that’s unrelated). Until then, I’ll just keep cooking for me, myself, and I.
