Why You’ll Love Potato Hash
This Potato Hash is a diner classic dish that you can bring into your kitchen in just ⏱️ 10 minutes. It’s so flavorful with a great mix of spices and sauteed 🧅 onion. By chopping up the potatoes really small, they cook super fast and get a beautiful caramelization . They’re irresistibly crispy on the outside, and fluffy and tender inside. This would be delicious for breakfast with a 🍳 fried egg on top or as part of a brunch spread.
How to Prepare Potato Hash
🔪 Wash and peel the potatoes and then use a knife to cut them into 1/4-inch circles. Cut each circle lengthwise and then dice it the opposite way so that you have very small cubes.
🧅 Now, finely dice your onion as well.
🥑 Add a splash of avocado oil to a skillet and then add the onions and sauté for 1-2 minutes until translucent.
🥔 Now, add the diced potatoes and stir.
🧂Season with salt , pepper and oregano and stir again.
🔥 Let the potatoes cook until they have color. Once they have color, add a lid to your pan and let them cook for 2-3 minutes.
🧑🍳 Once they’re crispy, golden and fully cooked, then you can take them off the heat.
🌿 Garnish with parsley, add feta on top if you’d like, and enjoy.

Equipment
- ▢ Nakiri Knife
- ▢ Cutting Board
- ▢ Large Sauté Pan
- ▢ Measuring Cups + Spoons
Ingredients
- ▢ 2 large potatoes , I used Yukon Yellow potatoes
- ▢ ½ onion , finely diced
- ▢ 1 tablespoon salt , pepper
- ▢ pepper , to taste
- ▢ dry oregano , to taste
- ▢ 3 tablespoons avocado oil
- ▢ parsley for garnish
Instructions
- ▢ Wash, peel, and cut the potatoes into 1/4-inch circles. Then, cut each circle lengthwise and dice it the opposite way so that you end up with small cubes. It’s important to try and make the potato cubes roughly the same size so that they can cook evenly.
- ▢ Dice half an onion. Now, add the oil to a skillet over medium-high heat and sauté your onions for 1-2 minutes until translucent. Add the diced potatoes and stir. Season with salt, pepper and oregano and stir again.
- ▢ Make sure to stir the potatoes as they cook until they become golden brown. Once they have some color, cover the pan with a lid and let them cook for 2-3 minutes. Covering them helps the inside of the potato to cook. Keep an eye on them, and once they are crispy, golden, and fully cooked, remove them from the heat. You can taste the potatoes and add more salt if needed.
- ▢ Garnish with parsley and feel free to add feta on top if desired. We sometimes add feta, but other times we don’t. Enjoy!
