This spicy potato and egg hash makes a delicious weekend brunch or the hearty weekday breakfast-for-dinner meal.
Potato Egg Hash Recipe
Breakfast is hands down my favorite meal of the day, and eggs are my favorite ways to do breakfast. If you follow me on Instagram, you’ll see that I eat eggs almost every day of the week. Be it fried, poached, scrambled, or boiled, they are always on my plate in some way, shape, or form. Not only are eggs incredibly nutrient-dense, but they are a filling way to start the day, and this spicy potato and egg hash is the perfect way to combine all of my morning favorites.
Eggs have been demonized in recent decades, however, in reality, they have been a highly valued food since the beginning of time. Pastured eggs are a rich source of macro and micronutrients, and one of the most nutrient-dense foods available, making them a valuable addition to any diet. Not only are eggs a highly valued source of protein, but one egg contains 13 essential nutrients, which are mostly found in the yolk, so it is imperative that we eat the whole egg. Not only are the yolks the source of vital fat-soluble nutrients, but eggs are also a rich source of antioxidants.

Spicy Potato and Egg Hash
I used chorizo in this spicy potato and egg hash, but bacon would also work well too, and the potatoes could easily be swapped for sweet potatoes.

Live this!! Any suggestions for a non-carb substitution for the potatoes?
Hmmm, great question! I would probably do a mixture of heartier veggies; zucchini, peppers, etc.. I think that would work really well too! You could also do sweet potatoes or squash instead of potatoes.
