Ingredients

• 2 cups leftover meatloaf
• 2 medium russet potatoes
• 1 medium yellow onion
• 1 medium bell pepper (any color)
• 2 garlic cloves
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 1 tablespoon unsalted butter
• 0.5 teaspoons salt
• 0.25 teaspoons black pepper
• 0.5 teaspoons paprika
• 4 eggs (optional, for topping)
• 2 tablespoons fresh parsley (optional, for garnish)

Directions

Step 1

Peel and dice the potatoes into small cubes, about ½-inch in size. Place them in a bowl of cold water to prevent browning and remove excess starch.

Step 2

Dice the onion and bell pepper into small pieces. Mince the garlic. Set aside.

Step 3

Cut the leftover meatloaf into small bite-sized chunks, ensuring they’re roughly the same size for even cooking.

Step 4

Heat a large skillet over medium heat and add the olive oil and butter. Once melted, drain and pat the diced potatoes dry, then add them to the skillet in an even layer.

Step 5

Sprinkle the potatoes with salt, black pepper, and paprika. Stir occasionally, frying for 8-10 minutes until golden and crispy on the outside and tender inside.

Step 6

Add the diced onion and bell pepper to the skillet. Cook for an additional 5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the vegetables are soft and slightly caramelized.

Step 7

Stir in the minced garlic and cook for 1-2 more minutes until fragrant.

Step 8

Add the chunks of leftover meatloaf to the skillet. Gently stir everything to combine, allowing the meatloaf to warm through and crisp up slightly around the edges, about 5 minutes.

Step 9

If topping with eggs, cook them to your preference (fried or sunny-side up) in a separate pan while the hash finishes cooking.

Step 10

Taste and adjust the seasoning if necessary. Serve the hash hot, topped with the optional eggs and a sprinkle of fresh parsley for garnish, if desired.
