Scale
  • 4 medium russet potatoes, peeled and diced into ½-inch cubes
  • 6 slices thick-cut bacon, chopped
  • 1 medium yellow onion, finely diced
  • 1 medium red bell pepper, diced (optional)
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 cup shredded sharp cheddar cheese
  • 2 stalks green onions, sliced thinly
  • 2 tablespoons fresh parsley or chives, chopped (optional)
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil or bacon fat
  • Salt and black pepper, to taste
  • 1 teaspoon smoked paprika (optional)
  • Pinch of red pepper flakes (optional)

Instructions

  1. Prepare the potatoes by peeling and dicing them into ½-inch cubes. Rinse under cold water, pat dry.
  2. Cook the bacon in a cast-iron skillet over medium heat for 6–8 minutes until crispy. Remove and set aside.
  3. Sauté the diced onion and bell pepper in the bacon fat for 4–5 minutes until softened. Add garlic and cook for 30 seconds.
  4. Cook the potato cubes in the skillet, increasing the heat to medium-high, for about 15–20 minutes until crispy and tender.
  5. Combine the bacon with the potatoes and veggies. Sprinkle cheese on top, cover, and melt for 2–3 minutes.
  6. Finish by sprinkling green onions and parsley over the hash, adjust seasoning, and serve immediately.
