Instructions
-
Prep the Ingredients: Begin by prepping your ingredients. Clean and quarter the button mushrooms, chop the green bell pepper, finely dice the onion, and peel and dice the potatoes into small cubes. Steam the sweet corn if not already cooked, and set all ingredients aside.
-
-
Cook the Vegetables: Heat 2 tablespoons of extra virgin olive oil in a large non-stick skillet over low heat. Add the diced onions and sauté until they become soft and slightly golden. Then, add the mushrooms, bell pepper, and steamed sweet corn. Season with a pinch of salt, and cook the vegetables, stirring occasionally, until they’re tender and lightly browned. You can add a tablespoon of water to help soften the vegetables, and cover the pan for a few minutes to speed up the cooking process.
-
Cook the Potatoes: Once the vegetables are done, transfer them to a plate and set aside. In the same skillet, add another tablespoon of olive oil and heat over medium heat. Add the diced potatoes to the pan and cook, stirring occasionally, until they form a crispy, golden crust—this should take about 13 minutes. Stir gently to avoid breaking up the potatoes too much.
-
Prepare the Sauce: While the potatoes are cooking, in a small bowl, mix together the tomato ketchup, soy sauce, water, Italian seasoning, and minced fresh thyme. Stir until the ingredients are well combined, forming a flavorful sauce.
-
Combine and Finish: Once the potatoes are cooked and golden, return the cooked vegetables to the skillet. Pour the prepared sauce mixture over the hash, stirring to coat all the ingredients evenly. Continue to cook for another 5 to 7 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld together and the hash to brown nicely. Stir occasionally to prevent burning, ensuring everything is well combined.
-
Serve: Once the hash is golden and crispy and the flavors have fully blended, remove the skillet from the heat. Taste and adjust seasoning with salt and pepper as needed.
Serve the Vegetarian Potato Hash warm. For a balanced breakfast, pair it with an Egg White Omelette with Spinach and a refreshing Muskmelon (Kharbuj) Juice. This hash is equally great as a side dish for dinner or as a satisfying vegetarian main course.
Tips for a Perfect Vegetarian Potato Hash:
- For Extra Flavor: Add a touch of smoked paprika or chili flakes if you prefer a bit of heat or smokiness in your hash.
- Crispier Potatoes: For an even crispier texture, you can parboil the diced potatoes for a few minutes before frying them.
- More Veggies: Feel free to get creative with the vegetables. Carrots, zucchini, or even spinach can be added to make the hash even more colorful and nutritious.
- Herb Variations: While thyme works beautifully here, you can experiment with rosemary, oregano, or basil for a different flavor profile.
This Vegetarian Potato Hash is not only a delightful dish for vegetarians but also a hearty, satisfying option for anyone looking to enjoy a healthy, flavorful meal! Whether it’s breakfast, lunch, or dinner, it will surely brighten up your plate.
