I’m always looking for breakfast ideas that I can make ahead of time. This Vegetarian southwestern breakfast hash is great for that very reason. Make it ahead and reheat it whenever you’d like. This is a go to for me when I have to work days at the hospital. This hash is packed full of flavor and super filling. It’s a great way to start your day.

Tips For Making The Hash

Potatoes

I am a fan of using frozen potatoes because they are quick.

If you would like to use fresh potatoes I would recommend using russet potatoes. They are heartier and hold up well. It will be 3 potatoes. Peel them first and then shred them. Put them in cold water when you are done to let them soak. This will remove the extra starch on the potatoes. Finally when your done soaking them you want to dry them off really well so they will fry up nicely.

Fry up your potatoes separately so they don’t get mushy with the rest of the hash. The key to great hashbrowns is being patient and letting them get a nice crust on them before you flip them over.

Vegetables

Once the hash browns are nice and crisp set them aside, add more butter or oil to your pan and then add in our sliced onions and peppers. If you like it on the spicer side you can leave the seeds of your jalapeno in. Not a fan of spice, I would remove the jalapeno seeds and also omit the cayenne powder.

When the veggies are sauteed you can then add in the drained beans and seasoning.

Finally add in your salsa and chopped cilantro.

Vegetarian Southwestern Breakfast Hash goes great by itself or for some added flare add in an over easy egg or some avocado!
