Breakfast Hash That's Good Anytime

Here's a recipe that you will make over and over again. It is simple, relatively healthy and can be eaten for breakfast, brunch or as a side dish with dinner. I love it for breakfast with a fried egg on top. It's great on a brunch buffet table, or serve it with meat or chicken as an alternative to rice. I hope you enjoy it.


Breakfast Hash

1 pound red potatoes
salt
2 T. olive oil
1/4 pound pancetta, cut into small chunks
3 leeks, washed and cut in half moons
2 T. paprika
1 T. red pepper flakes, or to taste
2 T. chopped thyme leaves
2 T. chopped parsley (i like flat parsley)
Freshly cracked black pepper

Cut the red potatoes in half. Bringa a medium pot of salted water to a boil over medium heat. Add the potatoes and cook until tender, approximately 10 minutes. Drain the poatoes and set aside.

In a large saute pan over medium high heat, add the oil. Add the pancett and cook until crisp, about 3-4 minutes. Stir in the leeks and cook until softened, about 1-2 minutes. Add the potatoes and toss well to combine. Stir in the rest of the herbs and spices and cook for 5 minutes. Season to taste, and enjoy. This is great for breakfast with a fried egg on top.
