Preparation Phase & Tools to Use

To make this hash come together easily and efficiently, here are the tools you’ll want on hand:

Large Non-Stick or Cast-Iron Skillet: Crucial for getting those potatoes crispy and cooking everything evenly.
Sharp Chef’s Knife: Makes quick work of dicing potatoes, peppers, and onions.
Cutting Board: Preferably two—one for veggies and another for meat to avoid cross-contamination.

Spatula or Wooden Spoon: Helps stir and flip ingredients without damaging your pan.
Lid (Optional): If you like your eggs steamed on top of the hash, a lid helps cook the tops while keeping the yolks runny.

Having these tools prepped makes the cooking process smoother and quicker, ensuring everything comes out hot and perfectly textured.

Ingredients for the Delicious Loaded Breakfast Hash

Each ingredient in this breakfast hash plays a key role in creating a deliciously balanced and satisfying meal:

Russet Potatoes – The base of the hash. They get crispy outside while staying fluffy inside.
Ground Breakfast Sausage – Adds savory depth and a hearty protein element.

Red Bell Pepper – Offers a sweet crunch and vibrant color.
Yellow Onion – Caramelizes slightly for a touch of sweetness.
Baby Bella Mushrooms – Bring a rich, earthy flavor that grounds the dish.

Eggs – Sunny-side-up eggs add protein and luscious texture with runny yolks.
Olive Oil or Butter – Essential for sautéing and crisping the potatoes.
Salt & Pepper – To taste; enhances all other flavors.

Fresh Parsley (Optional) – For garnish and a fresh herbal finish.

How To Make the Delicious Loaded Breakfast Hash

Step 1: Prep the Vegetables

Wash, peel, and dice the potatoes into small cubes. Chop the bell pepper, onion, and mushrooms. Having everything ready makes cooking a breeze.

Step 2: Crisp the Potatoes

In a large skillet, heat olive oil or butter over medium-high heat. Add diced potatoes in a single layer and cook until golden and crispy, about 10–12 minutes. Season with salt and pepper. Once done, transfer to a plate.

Step 3: Cook the Sausage

In the same skillet, brown the ground sausage until fully cooked, breaking it up into crumbles. Drain excess fat if necessary.

Step 4: Sauté the Veggies

Add chopped onion, bell pepper, and mushrooms to the skillet with the sausage. Sauté until tender, about 5–7 minutes. Return the crispy potatoes to the pan and stir to combine everything.

Step 5: Cook the Eggs

Make 4 small wells in the hash mixture. Crack an egg into each well. Reduce heat to medium-low, cover with a lid, and cook until egg whites are set but yolks are still runny—about 5 minutes.

Step 6: Garnish and Serve

Sprinkle with fresh parsley if desired. Serve hot and enjoy your loaded breakfast masterpiece!

How to Serve and Store Your Delicious Loaded Breakfast Hash

This hash is best served hot and straight from the skillet. Scoop generous portions onto plates and serve with toast, avocado slices, or a dollop of sour cream for extra indulgence. It also pairs beautifully with fresh fruit or a citrusy juice to brighten up the savory flavors.

To store leftovers, let the hash cool completely before transferring it into an airtight container. It keeps well in the refrigerator for up to 4 days. For reheating, use a skillet over medium heat to bring back the crispiness, or microwave in short intervals if you’re in a hurry. If you’ve added eggs on top, consider removing them before reheating to avoid overcooking.

Frequently Asked Questions

How can I make this vegetarian?

You can skip the sausage or replace it with a plant-based crumble or more vegetables like zucchini and spinach.

Can I use sweet potatoes instead of russet potatoes?

Absolutely! Sweet potatoes add a touch of natural sweetness and still get beautifully crispy.

What’s the best way to get crispy potatoes?

Avoid overcrowding the skillet, use enough oil, and don’t stir too often—let them brown undisturbed for a few minutes at a time.

Can I prepare the ingredients the night before?

Yes! Chop all your veggies and even pre-cook the sausage. Store them separately in the fridge and assemble in the morning.

How do I cook the eggs differently?

You can scramble them into the hash or poach separately and add on top if you prefer a runnier yolk.

Is this freezer-friendly?

It’s best enjoyed fresh, but you can freeze the hash portion (without eggs) in freezer bags for up to 2 months. Reheat in a skillet and top with freshly cooked eggs.
