American Breakfast Hash is the way to indulge for brunch over the weekend, especially when looking for some comfort. The hero of this dish is Potato. Potato and comfort are synonym of each other. Don’t you agree with that?

American Breakfast Hash is not only hearty and comforting, it has the colors of fiesta and so pleasant to look at, that it can brighten up anybody’s dull and boring morning. A warm mouthful bite of hash can make you swoon in the morning, I promise. I say, I want all my weekend mornings like that – happening, swooning, comforting and bright.

Wiki states that – Hash is a dish consisting of diced or chopped meat, potatoes, and spices that are mixed together and then cooked either alone or with other ingredients such as onions. The name is derived from the French verb hacher (to chop).  

Hash is served primarily as a breakfast food on restaurant menus and as home cuisine, often served with eggs and toast in USA. 

I love a good vegetarian Hash, topped with eggs, buttered toast on the side and a good strong coffee, whenever we go out for the weekend brunch. I am so glad that restaurants in USA, serve vegetarian Hash more common now than before. It wasn’t the case, few years ago. The kind of hash that I like is loaded with vegetables, served with sour cream and pico de gallo on top with extra dash of tobasco. The servers bring this out sizzling in a hot iron griddle and the aroma just fills the table. I pick up my fork and dig straight in the hash. The quality of a good hash is that potatoes are cooked soft but not mushy. They are cooked perfectly and slightly crispy at the edges, while other vegetables are also firm and not wilted.

Some other breakfast recipes from the blog are – Bread Poha/Upma , Almonds & Oats Chocolate Cookie , Mini Chocolate Pancakes , Quinoa Mini Uthapams and more.

This is how I made American Breakfast Hash that is all vegetarian and super easy to put together.

Kitchen Equipments Required – A heavy bottom wide pan with a lid, stirring spoon, chopping board and knife.
