Potato-Bacon Hash

This classic potato and bacon hash is a wonderful example of how a few simple ingredients can create a deeply satisfying, savoury meal. By simmering the potatoes with garlic and spring onions before crisping them in the smoky bacon fat, you achieve a perfect contrast of fluffy centres and golden, caramelised edges. It is an ideal choice for a relaxed weekend brunch or a quick, dairy-free midweek supper that the whole family will enjoy.

As a versatile one-pan dish, this hash is excellent served on its own or topped with a poached egg for extra richness. Using Yukon Gold or red potatoes ensures the chunks hold their shape during cooking while soaking up all the salty, umami flavours from the bacon. It is a hearty, homemade staple that relies on larder essentials for a fuss-free finish.
