Brilliant Breakfast Hash

Mondays tend to be a day of leftovers in our house and some of the best food in the world is based around using up what you have lying around in the fridge. This breakfast hash does exactly that and it is de-licious!

To be honest, this dish works well with any mixture of vegetables but I always like to have crispy potatoes and big chunks of mushroom in mine along with whatever else I can find. A good amount of garlic and a sprinkling of herbs and spices really elevate this into a gloriously tasty meal that you'll want to knock up again and again.

Brilliant Breakfast Hash

Serves 1

1 small potato, cut into chunks

2 tbsp oil or ghee

3 spring onions, sliced

2 garlic gloves, finely chopped

¼ red pepper, chopped

pinch chilli flakes

pinch cumin

pinch paprika

pinch dried oregano

handful of mushrooms, halved

2 eggs, lightly beaten

salt and pepper

Boil the potato in a pan of salted boiling water until tender (about 10 minutes). Drain and set aside. 

Fry the spring onions, garlic, pepper and spices in the oil/ghee until softened. Add the drained potatoes into the pan and continue to fry until golden and crisp. Add the mushrooms to the pan and cook until softened. 

Finally pour over the egg, take the pan off the heat and stir until everything is coated in the egg and it is just cooked. Season liberally and serve - I like mine with a dollop of Dijon mustard!
