Winter Vegetable Hash with Fried Eggs

Winter Vegetable Hash with Fried Eggs

Move over sweet potato hash, there’s a new hash in town that, no offense, blows yours out of the water! I mentioned this particular dish when I talked about our brunch at Hot Suppa! in Portland, Maine, and since then it’s pretty much become a weekly staple in our house. By the time I finally took pictures of it, we'd already eaten it probably ten times. We eat it for breakfast, lunch, or dinner, sometimes making it on the fly and other times chopping vegetables a few days ahead of time so that we’ll be ready when the craving strikes.

After loving on beets for so long but still not making them at home very much, we’re finally realizing they aren’t at all difficult to make at home. Sure, roasting them can be a bit of work (still worth it!), but in the case of this hash, you just peel, chop, and sauté with the rest of the veggies. We made some changes from the original, using sweet potatoes instead of red, butternut squash instead of kabocha, but the end result is still the same: a colorful meal, amplified by the presence of fresh herbs, that is best when drippy in runny egg yolks!

I’ll stop gushing, but really, go make this...especially if you're like me and need to get some nutrients that don't come in Christmas cookies!!
