Expert Tips

If you have leftover roasted or baked potatoes, this is a perfect way to use them. Sauté the onions and bell peppers, and then add the potatoes at the end to heat thoroughly.
You can use whatever you have in your fridge to make this hash. Ham, mushrooms, tomatoes, spinach—anything would be great in this recipe.
