Ingredients

• 12 oz Spam
• 2 large Russet potatoes
• 4 Eggs
• 1 medium Red bell pepper
• 1 small Yellow onion
• 2 Garlic cloves
• 2 tbsp Olive oil
• 0.5 tsp Salt
• 0.25 tsp Black pepper
• 0.5 tsp Paprika
• 1 tbsp Fresh parsley (optional)

Directions

Step 1

Peel and dice the russet potatoes into small, bite-sized cubes. Rinse the cubes under cold water to remove excess starch, then pat them dry with a clean towel.

Step 2

Dice the Spam into small, evenly sized cubes. Dice the red bell pepper and finely chop the yellow onion. Mince the garlic cloves.

Step 3

Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a large, non-stick skillet over medium heat. Add the diced Spam and cook for about 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the cubes are golden brown and crispy. Remove the Spam from the skillet and set it aside on a plate.

Step 4

In the same skillet, add the remaining tablespoon of olive oil. Add the diced potatoes and spread them out into an even layer. Cook for 10-12 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the potatoes are golden and tender.

Step 5

Add the chopped onion and red bell pepper to the skillet with the potatoes. Cook for another 5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the vegetables are softened.

Step 6

Stir in the minced garlic, cooked Spam, salt, black pepper, and paprika. Mix thoroughly and cook for an additional 2 minutes to combine the flavors.

Step 7

Using a spatula, create 4 small wells in the hash mixture. Crack an egg into each well. Cover the skillet with a lid and cook for 4-6 minutes over low heat, or until the eggs reach your desired level of doneness.

Step 8

Remove the skillet from the heat. Sprinkle the hash with freshly chopped parsley, if desired, for added freshness.

Step 9

Serve the Spam and Egg Breakfast Hash immediately while hot. Enjoy!
