  2. Add onion and garlic and saute for 1 - 2 minutes, stirring frequently to prevent burning.

  • Potatoes:  You can use whichever you have/like! 
  • Dijon Mustard: A stone ground or whole grain mustard is also great.
  • Parsley: You can use 1 teaspoon of dried for fresh.
  • Onion:  White is always our preferred, but yellow is a great choice too.
  • Even Dice = Even Cooking
  • Even Dice = Even Cooking
  • To ensure that everything cooks evenly and quickly, be sure to dice your potatoes evenly into 1/4 - 1/2 inch cubes.  If you prefer a larger dice, it may add some cooking time to ensure that the potatoes are cooked fully through. 
  • For the Crispiest Potatoes
  • For the Crispiest Potatoes
  • If you prefer your hash super crispy, then use an extra large nonstick skillet so you can spread your potatoes out into one even layer and do your best to flip the potatoes to the other side while cooking on medium-high to develop the crispy edge.
