Hash in the Pan
Every successful meat-and-potato masterpiece follows three rules:
1. Keep It Tight: We bind our hash with a sauce made from pureed roasted garlic, cream, and red potato flakes. This ties the hash together and encases all the elements in deep, toasty, savory flavor.
2. Veg Out: Hash isn't an inherently pretty dish, but we've boosted vibrancy and nutrition by adding bright bell peppers and carrots. For best presentation, cook these vegetables separately and bring everything together at the end.
3. Get Crispy:Â We opt for roasting as a precook method for the potatoes to avoid incorporating water, as steaming or boiling would. This helps the spuds to brown and crisp well in the pan.

Chicken and Chile Hash
The mild flavor of spinach makes it wonderfully adaptable to sizzling garlic and spice from the crushed red pepper. For fullest flavor, cook spinach only until it begins to turn limp. Sautéed spinach can be made in a snap and pairs perfectly with almost every protein. If you have leftover spinach on hand or any wilting leafy greens, sautéing with a little olive oil and garlic instantly brings it back to life. Starting aromatics in a cold skillet lets them infuse the oil. The garlic also has less chance of burning. Let cooked potatoes dry out so they'll be extra crispy in the hash. Leftover cooked potatoes would be even better. Ground chicken has a touch more fat than ground chicken breast, key for more flavorful hash. Serve with Sautéed Spinach with Garlic and Red Pepper.

The Master Hash
Hash may not have the sex appeal of eggs Benedict or the elegance of an omelet, but done right—piled high in a hot skillet, studded with crispy potatoes, and strewn with marbled meat—it is truly a thing of beauty.

Mexican Chorizo Hash
This breakfast-for-dinner skillet gets heat from spicy Mexican chorizo. Don't stir the potatoes too much as they cook so they crisp in the pan. If you like your eggs more firm, cook them longer, or stir them in for a scramble.

Red Flannel Hash
This hash is a Yankee tradition, so called, some say, for its colors, which resemble a red flannel shirt. It’s customarily served the morning after a New England boiled dinner, when there's plenty of leftover corned beef and potatoes. Our version combines roasted beets and potatoes with a small portion of corned beef for a lighter take on the original.
