Potato & Vegetable Hash

A large skillet of potatoes and nutritious veggies if all you need for a satiating and stunning breakfast!

Brunch has become an American tradition. It is a time to relax on a Sunday with friends and family while bonding over good food. It has grown so popular that many restaurants now offer elaborate brunch menus and make a significant profit from the occasion. I’ve been to plenty of brunch spots myself and often notice that you’re paying more for the aesthetic and Instagram-worthy ambiance than for the food itself. While the setting and plating may be beautiful, the dishes aren’t always extraordinary or unique. Still, people are willing to pay a premium for smaller-than-normal portions in a nice atmosphere. From a business standpoint, it makes sense, but spending $35 on the simplest brunch foods feels a bit unreasonable to me.

That’s what inspired me to start hosting brunch at home. I can spend just $15 on three dishes that feeds 3 people! One dish I made recently is potato and vegetable hash made with potatoes, chard, red bell peppers, and onions. I finished it with vegan cheese, cilantro, and avocado, making it both colorful and completely vegan-friendly. It’s also nutritious and satisfying, perfect for brunch cravings. Thanks to a generous blend of spices, the dish is so flavorful you won’t even miss the absence of meat.

This dish is highly customizable and a great way to utilize whatever is left if your refrigerator. Root or dryer vegetables are ideal since the hash is intended to be crispy. Soggy hash is not the most ideal.
