If you’re craving a delicious savory breakfast, this recipe is for you! Plus, it only takes 30 minutes to make which is unheard of for potatoes!

We’ll be using one trick to make this hash cook in 30 minutes – dicing potatoes into 1/2-inch squares. The small squares cook so much faster.

Once you’ve diced and chopped all the ingredients, we’ll move on to cooking. Prep should take about 10 minutes and cooking – 20 minutes.

Why the mix of potatoes?

The classic breakfast hash is traditionally made with gold potatoes. If you’ve known me for a while on this blog, you know my obsession with sweet potatoes. Naturally, I had to include them!

The smooth and fluffy gold potatoes offset the sweetness of sweet potatoes creating a balanced flavor profile. Our breakfast hash will still be classic with a touch of sweetness.

Healthy Kick and Spices

I decided to add fresh spinach for a healthy spin on this recipe. For spices, we’ll be using a mix of garlic powder, onion powder, sweet paprika, and smoked paprika.

Instructions

1. Heat olive oil in a large non-stick skillet on high heat. Add garlic and cook for 30 seconds. Add onions and cook for 1 minute. If making an oil-free version, there’s no need to heat the vegetable stock. Just heat the skillet, then add vegetable stock and proceed with cooking directions.
2. Stir in diced sweet and gold potatoes. Add all the spices except for red pepper flakes. Cook for 6 minutes stirring once to prevent sticking.

4. Stir in spinach. Turn off heat. Cover with a lid to let spinach steam.
