Ingredients
  

Hash Base
  • 3 cups potatoes diced small
  • 1 cup dandelion greens chopped
  • 1 2 cup onion diced
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil for cooking
  • 4 large eggs fresh
Seasonings
  • 1 2 teaspoon sea salt adjust to taste
  • 1 4 teaspoon black pepper freshly ground
  • 1 2 teaspoon smoked paprika for extra flavor

Equipment

  • Mixing Bowl
  • Skillet
  • Spatula
  • Knife
  • Freezer
  • Stovetop

Method
 

  1. Heat olive oil in a skillet while preparing potatoes and chopping fresh dandelion greens carefully.
  2. Cook potatoes until golden and crispy outside while remaining soft inside for balanced texture.
  3. Add onions and cook until fragrant before stirring chopped greens gently into the skillet.
  4. Season mixture evenly with salt, pepper, and smoked paprika while stirring occasionally throughout cooking.
  5. Create small wells and crack eggs directly into skillet until whites set but yolks stay creamy.

Notes

Cook potatoes longer for crispier texture or reduce heat for softer bites. Freeze cooked hash without eggs for easier reheating later. Handle eggs gently during assembly to maintain creamy yolks. Add sausage, peppers, or cheese for flavor variations. Store leftovers refrigerated up to three days.
