How to Make Potato And Onion Hash With A Fried Egg For One

  1. Peel and dice 1 medium potato (about 1 cup diced).
  2. Finely chop 1/2 medium onion.
  3. Place a large nonstick skillet over medium heat and add 1 tablespoon of oil (vegetable or olive).
  4. When oil is shimmering, add the chopped onion and a pinch of salt. Stir and cook until softened, about 1 minute.
  5. Add the diced potato and a pinch of cayenne pepper (or a dash of your favorite hot sauce) to the pan.
  6. Reduce heat to low, cover, and cook, stirring occasionally, until potatoes and onions are tender, caramelized, and lightly browned, about 20-25 minutes. (Uncover during the last 5 minutes to allow for browning).
  7. Push the potato and onion hash to one side of the pan and increase the heat to medium.
  8. Crack 1 large egg into the empty space in the pan. Cook to your desired level of doneness.
  9. Spoon the potato and onion hash onto a plate and top with the fried egg. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
