A hearty and smoky breakfast hash combining leftover smoked brisket, crispy potatoes, caramelized onions, and fried eggs with runny yolks for a comforting morning meal.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 8 ounces smoked brisket, chopped into bite-sized pieces
  • 3 medium russet potatoes (about 600 g / 1.3 lbs), peeled and diced
  • 1 medium yellow onion, diced
  • 1 medium red or green bell pepper, diced
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil or butter
  • 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
  • Salt and pepper, to taste
  • A small handful fresh parsley or chives, chopped, for garnish
  • 4 large eggs, fried sunny-side up

Instructions

  1. Peel (optional) and dice potatoes into ½-inch cubes. Toss with 1 tablespoon olive oil, salt, pepper, and smoked paprika in a medium bowl.
  2. Heat a large skillet over medium heat and add remaining 1 tablespoon olive oil or butter. Add potatoes in a single layer and cook undisturbed for 5-7 minutes until golden crust forms, then stir occasionally until tender and crispy, about 12-15 minutes total.
  3. Add diced onion and bell pepper to the skillet. Stir frequently and cook until soft and caramelized, about 5 minutes.
  4. Add minced garlic and chopped smoked brisket. Cook for 3-5 minutes, stirring gently to warm brisket without drying it out.
  5. Adjust seasoning with salt, pepper, and smoked paprika as needed.
  6. In a separate nonstick pan, heat a little oil or butter over medium heat. Crack eggs carefully and cook sunny-side up for 3-4 minutes until whites are set but yolks remain runny.
  7. Spoon brisket hash onto plates and top each serving with a fried egg. Garnish with chopped fresh parsley or chives.

Notes

If potatoes start sticking, add a splash of water and cover briefly to steam before uncovering to crisp back up. Use cast iron for best crispy crust. For gluten-free, ensure smoked paprika and seasonings are gluten-free. Can substitute brisket with smoked pulled pork or bacon. Eggs can be poached or scrambled as alternatives.
