Substitutions for Breakfast Hash

This recipe is completely customizable to your taste or whatever you have on hand! Here are a few of our favorite variations:

  • Potatoes: swap for sweet potatoes, butternut squash, or your favorite yam
  • Bacon: you can use any meat you prefer. Ham, sausage, or ground turkey will all work. 
  • Spices: swap the spice mixture for your favorite blend
  • Peppers: use sweet peppers, jalapenos or if you want to omit them you can swap for mushrooms. 
  • Optional: garnish with salsa, sour cream, avocado, and green onions.

Tips for the Best Breakfast Potatoes

  • Cut Uniformly: To ensure the potatoes cook evenly make sure they are cut as uniformly as possible. If some are very small, and some are large they will not cook through at the same time. 
  • Toss to Coat: You can toss the potatoes with the spices in a bowl, or as soon as you add them to the skillet, either work. Just make sure you coat the potatoes well so they are all perfectly seasoned.
  • Large Skillet: Use a large skillet so you have plenty of room to cook the vegetables.
