Leftovers Breakfast Hash
💥 Spiced, crispy, and oh-so-satisfying – the perfect way to use up leftovers!
Serves: 2–3 | Time: 30 minutes
Â
Ingredients
-
2 medium potatoes, diced into small cubes
-
1 tbsp olive oil (plus extra if needed)
-
1 small red capsicum, diced
-
½ red onion, sliced
-
1 cup cooked chickpeas or leftover roast meat (shredded)
-
Salt, to taste
-
2–3 eggs
-
Fresh herbs, to garnish (parsley or coriander work beautifully)
Instructions
-
Parboil the potatoes:
Place diced potatoes in a saucepan of salted water. Bring to the boil and simmer for 5–6 minutes until just tender. Drain well and let them steam dry for a few minutes. -
Pan-fry the hash:
Heat olive oil in a large non-stick frying pan over medium heat. Add the potatoes and let them cook undisturbed for a few minutes until golden underneath. Then stir occasionally for even browning (about 10 mins). -
Add the veg and protein:
Toss in the capsicum and onion. Sauté for 3–4 minutes until softened. Add chickpeas or meat, sprinkle over Basaar Mix and a little salt. Cook, stirring, for another 3–5 minutes until everything is well-coated, golden, and fragrant. -
Fry the eggs:
In a separate pan, fry eggs to your liking (sunny-side up works beautifully with this dish). -
Serve it up:
Spoon the hash onto plates, top each with a fried egg, and finish with fresh herbs. Optional: a dollop of yoghurt or hot sauce on the side.
🔄 Variations:
-
Swap potatoes for sweet potato or pumpkin
-
Add spinach or kale in the last minute of cooking
-
Use leftover roast lamb, chicken, or beef
