Kale And Potato Breakfast Hash Recipe

Potatoes: The base of the hash, providing a hearty and filling component.

Kale: Adds a nutritious and slightly bitter flavor that complements the potatoes.

Onion: Brings a sweet and savory taste to the dish.

Garlic: Adds a pungent and aromatic element.

Olive oil: Used for cooking the ingredients, adding a rich flavor.

Salt: Enhances the overall taste of the dish.

Black pepper: Adds a touch of heat and depth to the flavors.

When cooking the potatoes, make sure to cut them into uniform dices to ensure even cooking. To speed up the softening process, you can parboil the potatoes for a few minutes before adding them to the skillet. This will help them cook through more quickly and evenly. Additionally, when adding the kale, remove the tough stems and chop the leaves into bite-sized pieces to ensure they cook evenly and become tender.
