Equipment
Ingredients
- 2 tablespoons vegan butter
- 1 ½ lbs. russet potato 1 cm. diced (should be 4 cups diced)
- 1 cup onion diced
- 1 red bell pepper diced
- 8 slices vegan bacon diced
- ½ cup unsweetened plant based milk
- 4 teaspoons chipotle peppers in adobo minced
- ¾ teaspoon salt or to taste
- 1 cup vegan cheddar cheese shreds
To garnish and serve:
- Hot sauce optional
- 1 tablespoon Jalapeño minced (optional)
- 2 scallions thinly sliced
- ¼ cup cilantro leaves
Instructions
- Melt the butter in a large skillet over medium heat. After 90 seconds, when the butter is melted and hot, add the diced potatoes in an even layer. Cook for 10 minutes, turning every 2 to 3 minutes to ensure even browning.
- Add the diced onion, red bell pepper, and bacon and continue cooking for 4-5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the vegetables are softened and the potatoes are tender.
- In a small bowl, whisk together the plant-based milk, chipotle peppers, and salt.
- Pour the chipotle milk mixture into the skillet and stir to combine. Reduce the heat to medium-low and cook for 3-4 minutes, allowing the liquid to reduce.
- Stir the contents of the pan and sprinkle on the vegan cheddar cheese evenly over the top and cover the skillet. Cook for 2-3 minutes, or until the cheese has melted. Remove from heat.
- Garnish with hot sauce and minced jalapeños, if using, sliced scallions, and cilantro leaves before serving.
Notes
🍟 Hash Me Outside:
Spread potatoes in a single layer. Overcrowding = steam = sad, mushy hash. A little space equals crispier cubes and fewer brunch regrets. 🔥 Seariously Wide Load:
Use a wide skillet so the potatoes get maximum contact with the pan. More surface = more crispy bits = more brunch glory. 🧀 Nacho Average Meltdown:
Once the cheese is on, cover the pan so it melts evenly. No lid? Flip a baking pan over the top or get creative with heat-safe improvisation.
