Ingredients
Scale
1 tablespoon olive oil
1 small onion, chopped
1 green bell pepper, chopped
1 red bell pepper, chopped
2 cups cooked potatoes, diced
1 cup cooked ham, diced
Salt, to taste
Black pepper, to taste
2 large eggs (optional, for serving)
Instructions
Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat.
Add the chopped onion and cook until softened, about 4 minutes.
Add the diced bell peppers to the skillet. Cook until they start to become tender, about 5 minutes.
Stir in the diced potatoes and ham. Spread the mixture evenly in the skillet.
Cook without stirring for 5 to 7 minutes to allow the bottom to brown and crisp up.
Stir the hash gently and continue cooking for another 5 minutes until everything is heated through and slightly crispy.
Season with salt and black pepper to your liking.
If using eggs, create two small wells in the hash, crack an egg into each well, cover the skillet, and cook until the egg whites are set and the yolks reach your desired doneness.
Serve immediately.
Notes
Using pre-cooked potatoes, like roasted or boiled potatoes, works well for this quick hash.
Feel free to substitute the ham with bacon or sausage for a variation.
Add a pinch of smoked paprika for extra depth of flavor.
