Summer Breakfast Hash

As we near the end of summer and fall starts to tease that our temperatures may eventually dip out of the 90s, I begin to crave more substance in my meals. I rely more on cooked foods and less on raw foods and hardy herbs like sage and rosemary creep back onto my plate. Consider this hash a sort of transitional summer to fall dish. It takes advantage of beautiful sweet summer peppers but hints at fall with comforting potatoes and sage. Though this makes a great breakfast (or breakfast taco filling), you can enjoy it for any meal.

Summer Breakfast Hash


  • Author: Courtney West
  • Yield: 4 servings 1x
Scale

Ingredients

  • 1 tbsp oil
  • 2 cups diced potatoes
  • Salt/pepper to taste
  • 1 cup diced sweet peppers
  • 1/2 tsp granulated garlic
  • 2 tsp minced fresh sage (or a scant tsp of dried)
  • 1 bunch of sweet potato or cowpea greens, thinly sliced
  • Sliced avocado to serve (optional but highly recommended)

Instructions

  1. Heat the oil in a skillet set over medium heat.
  2. Once the skillet is heated, add the potatoes along with a pinch of salt and pepper. Allow the potatoes to cook without stirring for the first 5 or so minutes. This helps them to start developing a nice golden crust.
  3. After that time, toss the potatoes gently then let them cook until they are just starting to turn golden brown and soften (about 5 minutes more).
  4. Add the peppers, garlic, sage, and another pinch of salt and pepper. Toss the hash mixture every minute or so as it cooks until the peppers soften.
  5. Add the greens, give them a toss, then turn off the heat to allow the greens to gently wilt and soften. Taste the hash, season with more salt and pepper if you like, then serve with sliced avocado.
