Potato Hash

These were a big hit for New Year's Day breakfast. I don't know how often I would make them, as there are a lot of steps and a lot of fat. I don't usually fry at home, but frying the diced potatoes was easy and not at all messy. This is a substantial dish and is perfect with just a simple fried or poached egg on top.

I always wondered the secret of great hash / brunch potatoes. The tricks in the recipe are great and really add to the overall dish. The bacon and potatoes were perfectly cooked and the melted onions and scallions were a nice addition. I will warn you that this recipe is quite involved for a side dish because Melted Onions take about 30 minutes and the bacon / potato cooking take another 30-45 minutes.

This recipe was awesome served with a fried egg over top.

A lot of work for potato hash, given the number of steps, but the results were amazing. Who doesn't love butter, potatoes, bacon and onions? Also, I used about 3/4 of the suggested amount of butter in the melted onions, more butter would have been too much (fyi -- the savoy cabbage recipe also calls for melted onions). I took this to a brunch pot luck and people loved it.
