Pork and Potato Hash

February 13, 2024

Pork and potato hash is a comforting, savory dish that’s perfect for any meal of the day. Whether you’re looking for a hearty breakfast to start your day, a filling brunch, or a satisfying dinner, this dish is simple to make yet packed with flavor. With tender pork, crispy potatoes, and a blend of savory seasonings, it’s the kind of meal that feels like home.

To make this dish, you’ll start by browning pieces of pork in a hot skillet. Ground pork works well, but you can also use leftover roast pork or even pork belly for extra richness. As the pork cooks, it releases its juices and becomes golden and crispy on the edges. Once browned, remove the pork from the skillet and set it aside.

Next, cook diced potatoes in the same skillet until they’re golden and crispy. The crispy texture of the potatoes is key to this dish, and using a little oil or butter helps them get that perfect crunch while still remaining tender on the inside. You can add onions and bell peppers to the potatoes as they cook to build layers of flavor. Season with salt, pepper, paprika, and garlic powder, or any spices you enjoy to give the hash an extra punch.

Once the potatoes are crispy and golden, return the cooked pork to the skillet and toss everything together. Let the flavors meld for a few minutes, allowing the pork to warm through and infuse the potatoes with its savory juices. If you like, crack a few eggs on top of the hash and let them cook sunny side up for added richness and texture.

Pork and potato hash is incredibly versatile. You can add greens like spinach or kale for some freshness or top the dish with cheese, hot sauce, or fresh herbs for an extra layer of flavor. Whether you serve it with a side of toast or just enjoy it on its own, this hash is the ultimate comfort food that’s both filling and full of flavor. Simple to make, satisfying to eat, and perfect for any time of day.

    How can you even call this a meal? It’s just hash! Needs more veggies for sure!

      I think it’s good as it is! You don’t always need a million veggies to make a meal! Plus, the pork and potatoes are filling enough.

    This is literally just a mix of stuff, not a recipe. I could’ve figured this out by myself.

      I think you’re missing the point! This isn’t just about following steps; it’s about bringing flavors together. Plus, not everyone can just whip things up in their head. Thanks for sharing this recipe!

    I tried it but used chicken sausage instead. It was kinda bland. Maybe I did something wrong?

    I don’t like eggs in my hash, so I skipped that part. Still turned out great! 😊

    1. User avatar Orange Dartwing says:

      2 stars
      But like, the eggs are the best part right? You sure it was still good?

    2. User avatar russell.feil84 says:

      I bet it was still super tasty without the eggs! I’ll have to try it that way.

    I don’t know about this… I like pork, but it was just too greasy for me. Not a fan.

  21. User avatar rueben.mann70 says:

    Okay, but there’s like 0 seasoning beyond salt and pepper. Needs more zing, ya know?

  22. User avatar Reyes Connelly says:

    i think this is a good way to use leftover meat. My sister makes it too! Good, but i hate onions. Can skip lol

  23. User avatar sydney.metz20 says:

    Yum! But why eggs? I don’t think they belong in this dish at all.

  24. User avatar nam.gorczany93 says:

    It was okay, nothing special. I mean, it’s just potatoes and sausage, right?

    How do you cook the eggs in the hash? I ended up scrambled them and it was weird…

    1. User avatar Kurtis Gibson says:

      3 stars
      I dunno about that, I always scramble my eggs too. Hash is good like that! Who needs poached eggs?

    2. 5 stars
      You should try cracking the eggs directly into the hash instead of scrambling! They poach while cooking and it’s super yummy. Hope that helps!

    Not sure if I like these flavors together. I think I prefer my potatoes plain.

      Who even mixes pork with potatoes? Sounds weird to me. I’ll stick to fries!

    2. User avatar roxanna.howe91 says:

      I totally get that! Sometimes simple is best. But you might be surprised how good this combo can be!

  33. User avatar rosio.will says:

    Potatoes took too long to cook in my skillet. Ended up in the microwave. Not ideal.

    1. User avatar laila.luettgen2015 says:

      4 stars
      I had the same problem! Maybe the potatoes were too big or not cooked long enough? Using a lid helps too!

  35. User avatar Mountain Minish says:

    Okay, but who has time to make this for breakfast? I stick to cereal. 😅

  36. 4 stars
    Sounds kinda simple, but I guess simple ain’t bad. Might give it a shot.

  37. User avatar Bilbo Baggins says:

    I guess it’s okay but potatoes are suposed to be peeled right? Mine were kinda crunchy.

  38. User avatar grant.ratke says:

    This was so good! The flavors were amazing and it was super easy to make. Definitely a keeper!

    1. User avatar malik.armstrong63 says:

      I totally agree! This recipe is a game changer. I’m super impressed with how simple yet flavorful it is. Gonna make it again for sure!

    2. User avatar Dr. Shirlee Kihn says:

      3 stars
      Sounds good, but can you really just throw everything in and it works? I worry about the timing, like what if the potatoes burn?

  39. User avatar Dan Streetmentioner says:

    3 stars
    I don’t think the thyme is necessary. It kinda overpowered everything. Just my opinion!

  40. User avatar smartestRedditor says:

    Why do I need to cover the eggs? I want them runny. Can I skip that part?
