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.

Not sure if I made it wrong but my eggs got hard in 5 mins. Oops.
Oops? That’s more like a scrambled egg hash now! 😂
Maybe your heat was too high? I usually adjust mine and it works better!
Easy to make and delicious! The paprika gives it a nice kick. Will definitely be making this again.
Looks good, but I wonder if the eggs are necessary? I don’t really like eggs with my cereal.
I totally agree! The paprika really enhances the flavor. I’ve made this for my family and they loved it! 😊
Yesss!! This is the food I want in my life. Delicious!
I dunno about the paprika, seems too fancy. I’ll just stick to salt and pepper.
This recipe is amazing! The flavors blend perfectly and it’s so hearty. My family loved it!
This was absolutely delicious! My kids loved it. Will definitely make again!
I tried this but the potatoes took way too long to cook. Thought they would be quicker!
Eww! I didn’t like the green pepper. Next time I’ll use mushrooms instead.
I love hash! But I prefer beef. Can I just switch the pork with beef??
No offense but this looks like a mess on a plate lol. I’m no chef.
This didn’t turn out as I expected. The potatoes took too long to cook… or maybe I did it wrong?
I’m not a great cook but even I made this work. Just make sure to keep an eye on the eggs!
Waste of time. The potatoes took too long to cook. Ended up burning my breakfast!
I added some hot sauce and it spice things up. Very good recipe!
Made this for breakfast and it turned out awesome—golden potatoes + savory sausage is such a combo. I added a little hot sauce and it was perfect.
Yum! I threw in some leftover veggies too. Tasted amazing, thanks for sharing!
yummm
Simple and quick. Perfect for breakfast. Will definitely make again!!
I made this last weekend and it was amazing! So hearty and filling. Thanks for sharing!
The flavor is good, but I think 10 minutes for the potatoes might be tight depending on how small you dice. I needed closer to 15.
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.
