minutesIngredients
4 slices bacon, chopped
1 tablespoon olive oil
1 small onion, diced
2 cloves garlic, minced
2 cups mixed potatoes (such as red, yellow, and sweet potatoes), diced into small cubes
1 bell pepper (any colour), diced
Salt and black pepper to taste
½ teaspoon paprika
¼ teaspoon dried thyme
2 green onions, thinly sliced (for garnish)
Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)
Optional: shredded cheese, hot sauce, or sour cream for serving
Directions
- Cook Bacon: In a large skillet or cast-iron pan, cook the chopped bacon over medium heat until crispy. Use a slotted spoon to transfer the cooked bacon to a plate lined with paper towels to drain excess grease. Set aside.
- Sauté Onion and Garlic: In the same skillet with the bacon drippings, add the olive oil if needed. Add the diced onion and minced garlic to the skillet and sauté until softened and fragrant, about 2-3 minutes.
- Add Potatoes and Bell Pepper: Add the diced mixed potatoes and bell pepper to the skillet. Season with salt, black pepper, paprika, and dried thyme. Stir well to combine and ensure the potatoes and peppers are evenly coated with the seasonings.
- Cook Hash: Cook the potato mixture, stirring occasionally, until the potatoes are tender and golden brown, about 12-15 minutes. Adjust the heat as needed to prevent burning.
- Add Bacon: Once the potatoes are cooked through, add the cooked bacon back to the skillet. Stir to combine and heat through for another 2-3 minutes.
- Serve: Transfer the Easy Bacon Pepper Mixed Potato Hash to a serving dish or plates. Garnish with thinly sliced green onions and chopped fresh parsley. Serve hot with optional toppings such as shredded cheese, hot sauce, or sour cream if desired. Enjoy this delicious and satisfying breakfast hash!
