Dilly Hash and Eggs – Recipe!

Whether it’s breakfast, brunch or dinnertime — a warm skillet of Dilly Hash and Eggs always seems to be so darn delicious.

Using par-cooked or leftover baked potatoes is the key to a good hash.  Turning basic spuds that are already rustic and creamy into a crispy herbal infused dish with soft eggs steamed over top is what this recipe is all about.  It’s simple food made delectable that comforts the soul and keeps us wanting for just one more bite.

Fresh dill minced finely and tossed into the potatoes while cooking and then sprinkled over the eggs before a quick steam creates delicate flavor.  It’s not overly herbal — just beautifully kissed by dill and gorgeous served straight out of the skillet.  I piece of whole-grain bread for dipping, especially if you enjoy your eggs a bit more runny.
