Sausage & Pepper Potato Swirl Hash

It was a quiet Sunday morning. The teenagers were asleep, it was just me and the cats. I wanted something good for breakfast, but just couldn’t quite settle on what to have. So I piddled around the house, doing this and that, getting a few things done but mostly just sipping tea and looking at all my foodie friends’ recipes on facebook and Pinterest.

And then I saw a HASH. The strange thing was the particular recipe I was looking at had NO potatoes, but I immediately wanted potatoes. I walked into the kitchen to make a hash, and then thought of my new kitchen toy: my new spiral slicer from Paderno. It has these awesome little “noodle” blades on it that I’ve been dying to try with potatoes. Everyone else seems excited to make things like zucchini noodles … and yeah, that’ll be fun, but once I had this lovely toy in my hands, I SO wanted to try it with potatoes. So I did. And this deliciousness is the result of my second experiment. You can make this a more traditional hash by just cutting up potatoes in a regular cubic hash sort of style.

A note on the spiral slicer: I really really love it. I’ve wanted one for years, but held up on buying it because you know, one more kitchen gadget to clutter up the kitchen. But it’s SO fun! Okay, I’m a kitchen gadget fanatic. I admit it.

Instructions

1. Spiral cut the potatoes with one of those noodle-y sort of cutter tools and put them in a medium mixing bowl. Melt 1 1/2 Tablespoons of butter, pour over the potatoes and toss to coat all the potatoes. Microwave the potatoes for 2 minutes, then stir, then microwave another 2 minutes, stir again, then another 2 minutes. The potatoes should be tender by now–if not, cook another 2 minutes.
2. While the potatoes are cooking, chop the garlic, sweet peppers and sausage.
3. Heat a cast iron (or other nonstick) frying pan over medium heat. Melt the remaining butter in the pan and swirl it around to coat the bottom of the pan. Add the onions and garlic and saute for a few minutes until the onion is tender. Add the sausage, peppers, and potatoes, sprinkle with Red Robin seasoning, the herbs & fresh ground pepper to taste and saute for several more minutes. Reduce the heat to low, sprinkle with cheese, cover and cook until the cheese is nicely melted, about 5 minutes.
4. While the cheese is melting, cook the eggs in another frying pan as desired.
5. I like mine over easy. Sprinkle the hash with chives, spoon the hash onto four plates and slide an egg over each serving.
