# What You’ll Need:

→ Vegetables

01 - 3 medium russet potatoes, diced (approximately 1.1 lbs)
02 - 1 red bell pepper, diced
03 - 1 green bell pepper, diced
04 - 1 red onion, diced
05 - 5 oz button mushrooms, sliced
06 - 2 cups fresh spinach, roughly chopped
07 - 2 cloves garlic, minced

→ Spices & Seasonings

08 - 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
09 - 1/2 teaspoon ground cumin
10 - 1/4 teaspoon ground turmeric
11 - 1/2 teaspoon chili flakes
12 - Salt and black pepper to taste

→ Other Ingredients

13 - 3 tablespoons olive oil, divided
14 - Fresh parsley or chives, chopped for garnish
15 - Hot sauce for serving

# How to Prepare:

01 - Place diced potatoes in a large pot and cover with cold water. Bring to a boil and cook for 4-5 minutes until slightly tender but not falling apart. Drain thoroughly and set aside.
02 - Heat 2 tablespoons olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the parcooked potatoes in a single layer and sauté for 8-10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until golden brown and crispy on the edges.
03 - Push the potatoes to one side of the skillet. Add the remaining 1 tablespoon olive oil to the empty space, then add the bell peppers, red onion, and mushrooms. Cook for 5-6 minutes, stirring occasionally, until vegetables begin to soften and develop light color.
04 - Stir in the minced garlic, smoked paprika, ground cumin, turmeric, and chili flakes. Cook for 1 minute, stirring constantly, until fragrant and the spices are well distributed.
05 - Add the chopped spinach and toss gently with the vegetable mixture. Sauté for 1-2 minutes until just wilted but still vibrant green.
06 - Mix everything together thoroughly in the skillet. Season generously with salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste. Adjust seasoning as needed.
07 - Transfer to a serving platter and garnish with freshly chopped parsley or chives. Serve immediately while hot, passing hot sauce at the table for those who enjoy extra heat.

# Expert Advice:

01 -
  • The crispy potatoes get this gorgeous golden crust that makes every bite satisfying
  • Its one of those rare vegan breakfasts that keeps you full for hours without feeling heavy
02 -
  • Pat your potatoes dry after boiling them, otherwise they will steam instead of getting crispy
  • Do not overcrowd the pan, or the vegetables will steam rather than develop those lovely browned edges
03 -
  • Let the hash sit undisturbed for a minute between stirs to get better browning on the vegetables
  • Taste and adjust seasoning before serving, as the spices can settle differently each time
