Leftover Roast Pork and Potato Hash
Ingredients
- 2 cups leftover roast pork, diced
- 4 medium-sized potatoes, peeled and cubed
- 1 onion, finely chopped
- 2 cloves of garlic, minced
- 1 red bell pepper, diced
- 1 tsp smoked paprika (my secret ingredient)
- ½ tsp thyme
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 2 tbsp olive oil
- Fresh parsley, chopped, for garnish
Instructions
- Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the chopped onions and sauté until they become translucent, about 3 minutes.
- Stir in the minced garlic and diced red bell pepper. Sauté for an additional 2 minutes until the pepper starts to soften.
- Add the cubed potatoes to the skillet and season with smoked paprika, thyme, salt, and pepper. Cook for about 15-20 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the potatoes are golden brown and tender.
- Toss in the diced roast pork and cook for an additional 5-7 minutes, allowing the pork to heat through and meld with the flavors of the hash.
- Once everything is beautifully cooked and aromatic, remove the skillet from heat. Garnish with fresh chopped parsley for a burst of color and freshness.
Notes
Cooking Tips for the Best Results:
- Use cold leftover roast pork: Chilled pork is easier to dice neatly and holds its shape better in the hash.
- Experiment with your choice of potatoes: Try Yukon Gold for a creamy texture or Russet for a crisper result.
- Don’t rush the potato browning: Crispy, golden potatoes are the cornerstone of this dish. Let them sizzle and develop that lovely crust.
- Customize the spice level: Adjust the smoked paprika to suit your taste – a little more for extra smokiness or less for a milder flavor.
- Make it a one-pan wonder: Serve this hash right from the skillet for a rustic, family-style presentation.
