FOG-STYLE CHICKEN HASH

Steps:

• Cut potatoes into 1/2-inch cubes. In a large saucepan of boiling salted water cook potatoes until tender, about 15 minutes, and drain in a colander.
• In a 12-inch heavy skillet cook onion, bell peppers, and garlic in butter over moderately high heat, stirring frequently, until softened, about 3 minutes. Add spices, thyme, and salt and cook, stirring, 1 minute. Add chicken, potatoes, scallion, parsley, and half-and-half and cook over moderately high heat, stirring occasionally, until half-and-half is reduced slightly and hash is thickened.

JERK CHICKEN AND SWEET POTATO HASH WITH POACHED EGGS AND MANGO-HABANERO HOT SAUCE

Steps:

• For the hot sauce: Heat the oil in a medium saucepan over medium heat. Add the garlic and shallots and cook until soft, about 2 minutes. Add the mangoes and habaneros and cook for 5 minutes, stirring often. Add the vinegar and a tablespoon or so of the honey. Bring to a simmer and cook, stirring, until the mangoes are soft, about 10 minutes.
• Pour the mixture into a blender and blend until smooth. Add salt, pepper, and more honey to taste. If very thick, thin with a few tablespoons water. Strain through a sieve set over a small bowl. (Makes about 1 cup.)
• For the hash: Heat the oil in a large cast-iron skillet over medium-high heat. Add the onions and cook, stirring, until softened, about 3 minutes. Add the jerk chicken, sweet potatoes, scallions and cilantro; toss together. Press the mixture into the pan and cook, undisturbed, until the bottom starts to brown and crisp, about 5 minutes. Turn over parts of the hash, press and crisp again.
• For the eggs: Line a plate with paper towels. Crack the eggs into little bowls. Bring a large saucepan of water to a boil over medium-high heat; stir in the vinegar. Slip the eggs into the water, adjusting the heat to maintain a bare simmer. Cook until the egg whites are set but the yolks are still runny, about 4 minutes. With a slotted spoon, transfer the eggs to paper towels to dry.
• To assemble: While the eggs are poaching, set a ring mold on a dinner plate and spoon in some of the hash, pressing to crush the potatoes a bit. Remove the mold. Make a little divot in the top of the hash, then spoon on a poached egg and drizzle some hot sauce over the top. (If you don't have a ring mold, just mound the hash onto plates.) Garnish with scallions and cilantro. Repeat for the remaining servings. Serve immediately.
• In a small bowl, combine the coriander, ginger, brown sugar, garlic powder, onion powder, kosher salt, habanero powder, thyme, cinnamon, cloves and black pepper. Mix to blend. (Makes about 1 cup; extra spice mix can be stored in a sealed container in a cool, dark place for up to 6 months.)
• Sprinkle the chicken breasts with salt and pepper on both sides; rub the top side with a generous amount of the spice mix.
• Heat the oil in a medium skillet over medium-high heat. Add the chicken breasts, rub-side down, and cook until a crust forms, 3 to 4 minutes. Flip and cook until just cooked through, about 4 minutes more.

MEXICAN CHICKEN HASH WITH POACHED EGGS

Steps:

• NOTE: If you are using leftover or pre-cooked chicken I add it after sauteing the vegetables; if fresh chicken, I saute the chicken first.
• NOTE: If you are using leftover sweet potatoes, I just chop fine, if not, I grate my fresh sweet potatoes.
• Chicken and Vegetables -- In a large oven proof saute pan. I love my cast iron for this. Melt your butter over medium high heat and add the chicken (if fresh) and cook the chicken 3-4 minutes until it starts to brown, and then add the vegetables and cook another 5 minutes until soft.
• If using pre-cooked chicken or leftovers, melt the butter and add the vegetables and cook 5 minutes until soft then stir in the chicken.
• Potatoes and Seasoning -- Now add either the diced leftover sweet potatoes, or the fresh shredded sweet potatoes, garlic, chipoltes, 1/2 cup cheese, fresh herbs, salt, pepper and 1 cup of the chicken broth. Now cook 2-3 minutes if using the leftover potatoes, or it may need a bit longer (4-5 minutes) if you are using fresh grated. Stir well to combine all the ingredients. Note, there should be some good moisture in the bottom of the pan from the broth, if not you can add a little bit more. Remove from the heat and preheat the oven to 400 degrees. Again, make sure there is a little broth in the bottom, not too much.
• Eggs -- Now, I just take the bottom of a glass and make 6 indentations in the hash. One in the center and 5 around the outside of the pan. Then, crack 1 egg at a time in a small dish and put the egg into each indentation. Now sprinkle the cheese around the eggs. Salt and pepper the eggs liberally.
• Bake -- 400 degrees, middle shelf. Place in the oven and cook about 7-10 minutes until the eggs are to your liking. Depending on the size of your pan and type of your pan and the size of your eggs it may take a bit longer - ENJOY!

SWEET POTATO-CHICKEN HASH WITH POACHED EGGS WITH GREEN CHILE HOLLANDAISE

Steps:

• To prepare the hash: In a medium saucepan, cover the potatoes with cold water and bring to a boil over high heat. Reduce the heat and simmer until tender, about 25 to 30 minutes. Drain the potatoes, peel and cut into 1/2-inch cubes. Season the chicken breast with salt and pepper and place in a saucepan of simmering water. Poach for 10-12 minutes or until cooked through. Cut each breast into 1/2-inch cubes. Place the potatoes, chicken, scallion, cilantro, chipotles and honey in a large bowl and mix gently until combined, season with salt and pepper. Form into 4 equal-sized patties. Heat the oil in a large saute pan until just smoking. Season the patties with salt and pepper to taste and saute the patties on each side until golden brown. Keep warm.
• To prepare the poached eggs: Heat the water and vinegar until simmering in a large frying pan. Break each egg into a cup and gently add to the water. Poach for 4 to 5 minutes, or until the yolk is nearly cooked. Remove the eggs from the pan with a slotted spoon to drain the liquid and top each hash patty with 1 poached egg.
• Place the yolks, salt, pepper in a blender and mix until smooth. Slowly, drop by drop add the warm butter to the mixture and blend until emulsified. Place in a bowl and fold in the chopped poblano peppers. Serve immediately or place the bowl over a pot of simmering water to keep warm, stirring occasionally.

• Using a slotted spoon, carefully corral the white of each egg around its yolk. Poach the eggs until the whites are firm, or to the desired degree of doneness, about 3 to 5 minutes.
• Divide the hash among 4 serving plates and top the hash with a poached egg. Season with salt and pepper, to taste, and serve.
