Ingredients

  • For the Hash

  • 8 slices of thick-cut bacon, chopped

  • 2 tablespoons olive oil

  • 3 medium potatoes, peeled and diced into small cubes

  • 1 large onion, finely chopped

  • 2 cups green cabbage, thinly sliced

  • Salt and pepper to taste

  • Optional Toppings

  • Fresh parsley, chopped for garnish

  • A squeeze of lemon juice

  • Irish soda bread or toasted sourdough slices, for serving

Instructions

  1. Cook the Bacon: In a large skillet over medium heat, cook the chopped bacon until it’s crispy and golden brown. Remove with a slotted spoon to drain on paper towels, leaving about 2 tablespoons of rendered bacon fat in the pan.

  2. Sauté Potatoes and Onion: Add olive oil to the skillet if needed. Increase the heat to medium-high and add the diced potatoes and chopped onion. Season with salt and pepper. Sauté for about 10 minutes or until the potatoes start to brown, stirring occasionally.

  3. Add Cabbage: Stir in the sliced cabbage, mixing well with the potatoes and onions. Cook for another 5-7 minutes until the cabbage is tender but still slightly crisp.

  4. Combine Ingredients: Return the crispy bacon bits to the skillet, tossing everything together. Adjust seasoning if necessary. Continue cooking for an additional 2-3 minutes until all flavors are well combined.

  5. Serve Warm: Transfer the hash onto serving plates or a large platter. Garnish with chopped parsley and a squeeze of lemon juice for added brightness.

  6. Optional Sides: Serve alongside slices of Irish soda bread or toasted sourdough to soak up any delicious juices.
