Cast Iron Breakfast Hash

Cold, snowy mornings call for Cast Iron Breakfast Hash.  It is one of our favorites around Throwback Road and I hope you enjoy it as much as we do. 

Cast Iron Breakfast Hash
4 cups of cubed Fingerling Potatoes ( red skinned potatoes work also)
1 onion chopped fine
5-6 slices of bacon cut into small pieces
2 cloves of garlic, minced
1 tablespoon of oregano
1 teaspoon of thyme
1 tablespoon olive oil
salt and pepper to taste

-Preheat oven to 400 degrees
-In a 12 inch cast iron skillet combine olive oil, onion, garlic, and bacon
-Cook until onion is translucent
-Add potatoes and saute until the bacon starts to really sizzle and the potatoes are beginning to brown ( about 10 minutes)
-Add oregano, thyme, salt and pepper
-Pop the whole skillet into the 400 degree oven and cook until the potatoes are soft and golden brown
(about 20 minutes)
-During the cooking process, give the potatoes a couple of stirs to ensure that all sides are getting the beautiful color.   Don’t be afraid to add a little more salt and pepper at the end to finish off the dish.

This dish is very simple to make and you can change it up to suit you own taste.  Red pepper flakes add a little kick…sage and rosemary make it nice and savory.  I love to top a bowl of breakfast hash with a fried egg, where Mr. G just likes his plain with a cup of coffee.  This is also great with goat cheese sprinkled on top. It melts all over the hash and is purely divine! Hope you enjoy!
