A delicious breakfast or dinner any time of year. DH and I enjoy this. The biggest time consumer here is cooking the potatoes and that can easily be done ahead or the day before.

How To Make canadian bacon hash with poached eggs

  • 1
    Place the potatoes in a pot and add cold water to cover. Cover pot and bring to a boil over high heat.
  • 2
    Once boiling uncover and cook until the potatoes are just tender when pierced, about 20 minutes. Drain the potatoes and let cool (or refrigerate overnight).
  • 3
    Peel and cut into 1-inch pieces; set aside. In a large frying pan over med-high heat, melt the butter in the oil.
  • 4
    Add the Canadian bacon and cook, stirring often, until the bacon begins to sizzle and is lightly browned, about 5 minutes.
  • 5
    Add the green onions, celery, bell pepper, and thyme and continue to cook, stirring often, until the vegetables have softened, about 4 minutes.
  • 6
    Add the potatoes and cook, stirring often, until potatoes are heated through, about 4 minutes (longer if potatoes are refrigerated). Season to taste with salt and pepper.
  • 7
    Meanwhile, fill a saute pan 3/4 full of water; add several drops of vinegar and bring to a boil. Decrease the heat to a bare simmer.
  • 8
    Crack each egg into a small bowl or cup, then slide carefully into the simmering water. Cover and poach the eggs until the whites are firm and the yolk sacs have thin veils of white, 4-6 minutes, depending on your taste.
  • 9
    Spoon the hash onto individual plates and top each serving with a poached egg. Sprinkle with parsley.
