Ingredients
- 2 cups cooked potatoes, diced
- 1 cup cooked beets, diced
- 1 onion, chopped
- 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 2 large eggs (optional)
Instructions
- Begin by gathering all your ingredients: 2 cups of cooked potatoes, 1 cup of cooked beets, 1 chopped onion, 2 tablespoons of vegetable oil, salt, and pepper to taste. If you are using eggs, have 2 large eggs ready as well.
- Heat a large skillet or frying pan over medium heat. Add the 2 tablespoons of vegetable oil and allow it to heat up for about 1-2 minutes until shimmering but not smoking.
- Add the chopped onion to the skillet. Sauté the onion for about 5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until it becomes translucent and slightly golden.
- Once the onion is cooked, add the diced cooked potatoes to the skillet. Stir well to combine with the onions and cook for about 5 minutes, allowing the potatoes to get crispy and heated through.
- Next, add the diced cooked beets to the skillet. Gently stir to combine all the ingredients. Cook for an additional 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the beets are heated through and the mixture is well combined. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
- If you are using eggs, push the hash mixture to one side of the skillet. Crack the 2 large eggs into the empty side of the skillet. Cook the eggs to your desired doneness, whether sunny-side up, over-easy, or scrambled.
- Once the eggs are cooked, gently mix them into the hash, or serve them on top of the hash if you prefer. Adjust the seasoning with additional salt and pepper if necessary.
- Remove the skillet from heat and serve the Stir Fried Red Flannel Hash hot. Enjoy your meal!
Tips
- Use pre-cooked potatoes and beets to dramatically reduce preparation time. Leftover roasted or boiled vegetables work perfectly!
- For maximum crispiness, ensure your skillet is properly heated before adding ingredients and avoid overcrowding the pan.
- Choose fresh, firm beets for the best color and flavor. The deeper the red, the more visually stunning your hash will be.
- Experiment with egg preparation - sunny-side up, over-easy, or scrambled all work wonderfully with this versatile dish.
- Season generously and taste as you go. The salt helps bring out the natural sweetness of the beets and potatoes.
- For added flavor, consider incorporating herbs like thyme or rosemary, or a sprinkle of smoked paprika for extra depth.
- If you're not a fan of eggs, this hash is equally delicious served on its own or with a side of toast or fresh greens.
