Freshness is key!

When it comes to creating a truly exceptional dish like our Crispy Kale and Potato Hash with Bacon, selecting the freshest ingredients is key. Not only does it ensure optimal flavor and texture, but it also enhances the overall dining experience. Here are some tips to help you choose the freshest ingredients for your hash:

  1. Potatoes: Opt for firm, smooth-skinned potatoes that are free from blemishes, sprouts, or green spots. Russet or Yukon Gold potatoes work well for hash, offering a creamy texture when cooked. Avoid potatoes that feel soft or have a greenish tint, as these may indicate spoilage.

  2. Kale: Look for vibrant, crisp kale leaves that are deep green in color. Avoid wilted or yellowing leaves, as they may be past their prime. Fresh kale should have a firm texture and a slightly bitter taste, which adds a delicious contrast to the sweetness of the potatoes and the saltiness of the bacon.

  3. Bacon: If you’re adding bacon to your hash, choose thick-cut slices from the butcher counter for the best quality and flavor. Look for bacon with marbling throughout, as this indicates a good balance of fat and meat. Fresh bacon should have a pinkish hue and a slightly sweet, smoky aroma.

  4. Onion and Garlic: When selecting onions, choose bulbs that are firm and free from soft spots or mold. The skin should be dry and papery, with no signs of sprouting. For garlic, opt for firm bulbs with tight cloves and avoid any that feel soft or have begun to sprout.

  5. Olive Oil: If using olive oil for cooking your hash, opt for extra virgin olive oil for its superior flavor and nutritional benefits. Look for oils that are labeled as cold-pressed or unrefined, as these undergo minimal processing and retain more of their natural flavor and nutrients.

By carefully selecting the freshest ingredients for your kale and potato hash, you can elevate the flavors and create a dish that truly shines. So head to your local market or grocery store, and let the quality of your ingredients take your hash to new heights of culinary delight!

Ingredients
  

  • 2 Medium-sized potatoes, diced
  • 1 Bunch of fresh kale, chopped
  • 1 Onion, finely chopped
  • 2 Cloves of garlic, minced
  • 4 Slices of bacon, chopped (optional)
  • 2 Tbsp Olive oil
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • Pinch of paprika (optional)
  • Splash of apple cider vinegar (optional)

Instructions
 

  • Start by heating olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. If you're opting for bacon, now's the time to cook it until it's crispy and golden brown. Once done, set it aside on a paper towel-lined plate.
  • In the same skillet, add the diced potatoes. Spread them out in an even layer and let them cook for about 5-7 minutes, or until they start to brown. Stir occasionally to ensure even cooking.
  • Once the potatoes are nicely browned, add the chopped onion and minced garlic to the skillet. Sauté everything together until the onions are soft and translucent, and the garlic is fragrant.
  • Now, it's time to add the star of the show –
    the kale! Toss in the chopped kale and stir it into the potato mixture. Let it cook down for a few minutes until it wilts and becomes tender. This not only adds a vibrant pop of color but also loads of nutrients to the dish.
  • Season everything generously with salt, pepper, and a pinch of paprika if you're looking to add a hint of smokiness. For a touch of acidity, a splash of apple cider vinegar can work wonders, but feel free to skip it if you prefer.
  • Once everything is well combined and cooked to perfection, it's time to reintroduce the crispy bacon back into the skillet. Give it all a final stir, allowing the flavors to meld together.
  • Serve your kale and potato hash hot off the skillet, garnished with extra crispy bacon if desired. This dish pairs beautifully with a fried egg on top or as a side to your favorite protein.
