Potato Hash With Baked Eggs Food

SOUTHWESTERN SWEET POTATO HASH WITH EGGS

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 425˚ F. Put the bacon on a 9-by-13-inch rimmed baking sheet or baking dish and bake until crisp, 6 to 8 minutes. Remove to a paper towel-lined plate with a slotted spoon, leaving the drippings on the baking sheet. Add the sweet potato, red onion and bell pepper to the baking sheet and season with the chili powder, 1/2 teaspoon salt and a few grinds of pepper; toss well to coat. Bake until the vegetables are tender and browned, about 18 minutes.
• Meanwhile, thinly slice the vegetables from the salad kit and transfer to a large bowl. In a medium bowl, whisk the dressing from the salad kit with the sour cream and lime juice; set aside.
• Stir the lime zest into the vegetables on the baking sheet and make 4 wells in the mixture; crack 1 egg into each. Bake until the egg whites are almost set, 6 to 8 minutes. Sprinkle the eggs with the Mexican cheese blend and the shredded cheese from the salad kit. Continue to bake until the cheese melts, 2 more minutes.
• Sprinkle the salad over the hash and drizzle with the dressing mixture. Top with the tortilla strips from the salad kit and the bacon and cilantro. Serve with hot sauce.

POTATO HASH

Steps:

• Add 3 cloves of smashed garlic, a few large pinches of salt and potatoes to a large pot and cover with cold water. Bring to a boil over high heat and cook until potatoes are just tender, about 10 minutes. Drain potatoes and discard the garlic. Transfer the potatoes to a sheet tray lined with a clean dish towel to dry slightly.
• Add enough oil to coat the bottom of a large skillet and heat over medium heat. Add the onion and cook, stirring, until just translucent, about 5 minutes. Add the crushed red pepper and the remaining 2 cloves garlic and cook, stirring, until soft and tender, about 3 minutes. Increase the heat to medium-high and add the cooked potatoes. Cook, stirring frequently, until the potatoes start to get crispy and golden brown on all sides, about 5 minutes. (If the potatoes get too dry, add the chicken stock.) Remove from the heat and stir in the chives.

HAM & POTATO HASH WITH BAKED BEANS & HEALTHY 'FRIED' EGGS

Steps:

• Bring a large pan of salted water to the boil. Add the potatoes and boil for 5 mins until just tender. Drain well and leave in the colander to steam-dry.
• Meanwhile, spray an ovenproof pan with cooking spray. Add the leeks with a splash of water and fry until very soft and squishy. Add a few more sprays of the oil, tip in the potatoes along with the ham, and fry to crisp up a little. Heat oven to 200C/180C fan/gas 6.
• Stir in the mustard, 1 egg and a good amount of seasoning with a fork - break up some of the potatoes roughly as you do. Flatten down the mixture, spray the top with oil, and bake in the oven for 15-20 mins until the top is crisp.
• When the hash is nearly ready, heat 200ml water in a non-stick frying pan with a lid (or use a baking sheet as a lid). When it is steaming (but before it simmers), crack in the remaining 4 eggs and cover with a lid. Cook for 2-4 mins until the eggs are done to your liking. Meanwhile, heat the beans.
• Lift an egg onto each plate, add a big scoop of hash and spoon on some beans.

SWEET POTATO AND CARAMELIZED ONION HASH WITH BAKED EGGS

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 450°. Line a large baking sheet with foil or parchment paper.
• Melt butter in a cast-iron or other heavy skillet over medium-high heat. When it foams, add onions and sprinkle lightly with salt and pepper. (Don't worry if they are crammed into the pan; they will rapidly cook down.) Lower heat slightly and cook, stirring occasionally (reduce heat further if they seem to be burning), until dark brown, about 20-30 minutes.
• Meanwhile, toss sweet potatoes, oil, 1 1/2 tsp salt, smoked paprika, a generous helping of black pepper, and minced rosemary or oregano in a large bowl. Stir in onions.
• Spread sweet potato mixture on prepared baking sheet and roast for 25-40 minutes, stirring every 10-15 minutes, until sweet potatoes are soft and browned.
• Reduce oven temperature to 425°. Spread a relatively thin layer of the cooked sweet potato hash in individual ramekins, a cast-iron skillet, or a 9" x 13" baking dish.
• Make small wells in the hash and crack in the eggs. Sprinkle lightly with salt and pepper. Bake for 10-20 minutes, or until hash is hot and eggs are baked to your preference. Test the eggs by prodding them with a fork to check the firmness of the white and the runniness of the yolk.
• Serve immediately, with Parmesan, if desired.
