How To Make canadian bacon hash with poached eggs
-
Step 1Place the potatoes in a pot and add cold water to cover. Cover pot and bring to a boil over high heat.
-
Step 2Once boiling uncover and cook until the potatoes are just tender when pierced, about 20 minutes. Drain the potatoes and let cool (or refrigerate overnight).
-
Step 3Peel and cut into 1-inch pieces; set aside. In a large frying pan over med-high heat, melt the butter in the oil.
-
Step 4Add the Canadian bacon and cook, stirring often, until the bacon begins to sizzle and is lightly browned, about 5 minutes.
-
Step 5Add the green onions, celery, bell pepper, and thyme and continue to cook, stirring often, until the vegetables have softened, about 4 minutes.
-
Step 6Add 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.
-
Step 7Meanwhile, 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.
-
Step 8Crack 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.
-
Step 9Spoon the hash onto individual plates and top each serving with a poached egg. Sprinkle with parsley.
