Potatoes Hash for Dinner (When Nothing Else Will Do)
- 10 whole Yukon Gold Potatoes, Washed, Not Peeled
- 2 cups Brussels Sprouts, Halved Or Quartered If Large
- 1 cup Leeks, Sliced
- 1/4 cups Diced Onion
- 1 Tablespoon Olive Oil
- (Black, Lemon Or Red) Pepper To Taste
- 6 slices Bacon
- 4 whole Eggs
- Preheat your oven to 425 degrees F for at least 15 minutes and put your large cast iron skillet in the oven during the preheat time.
- Wash and then slice potatoes in half.
- Turn the halves cut side down.
- Cut halves into slices.
- Turn slices and cut them across several times, creating a medium-sized dice.
- (Do not be fussy.
- This is a rough dice).
- Wash and halve (or quarter if large) the Brussels sprouts, removing any large or damaged leaves.
- Wash leeks carefully.
- Cut white and light green parts into slices.
- Break slices apart into circles (think onion rings).
- Toss potatoes, leeks, onion, and Brussels sprouts in the olive oil.
- Season with black pepper, lemon pepper, hot pepper flakes to taste, if you like the heat.
- Pour veggies into your sizzling hot cast iron skillet.
- Put hot skillet back into hot oven.
- Turn heat down a tad to 400F.
- Set timer for 20 minutes.
- When timer goes off, use a large metal spatula to turn the potato/leek/onion/sprout mixture over (so all sides get nice and crispy).
- Put skillet back into oven for another 20 minutes.
- Cut bacon strips into small slices (half an inch or so).
- After the second 20 minutes, stir your potato mixture again.
- Put bacon pieces on top of your potato mixture.
- Return to oven.
- You want the bacon done and potatoes to be browning and crispy but not burnt.
- This will probably take 20 to 25 minutes but be sure to watch closely.
- Remove skillet from oven.
- Using a metal spoon, make four indentations in the potato mixture.
- Crack an egg into each indentation.
- Return skillet to oven and cook until eggs are set (6 to 8 minutes but it depends on how you want your eggs done).
- Remove from oven.
- Dish it up onto plates.
- Serve with Texas toast and hot sauce on the side.
