For those of you that don’t know hash, it’s traditionally made with the whole hog in mind, almost like a stew, and poured over rice. Instead of the usual 8 hours (!) it can take to make hash, we’ve got a 15-minute recipe for you.

For this easy twist on hash, we’re going for a little thicker version served with potatoes and an over easy egg, for a quick, delicious breakfast treat.

Ingredients:

• 10 oz container Discover Fresh Ham, Pepper & Onion Spread, or you can follow a recipe like this to make it from scratch
• Bag of frozen french fries or shredded hashbrowns
• Olive oil
• 2 eggs (per plating)

Preparation:

• Heat cast iron skillet or oiled baking pan over medium high
  heat, and add enough oil to address the bottom of the pan
• Loosely chop frozen fries, or if using hashbrowns, take out of bag and add to skillet
• Cook potatoes for 7 minutes until golden on all sides
• Add ¼ cup additional olive oil and add Ham Pepper Onion Spread to skillet. Make sure to tend the ham as it cooks, as it can stick to a pan if left too long
• Cook an additional 5 minutes, turning fries and ham spread through each other until fully incorporated
• Remove from pan and clean cooking surface
• Add pad of butter or more oil for cooking two eggs per plate over easy
• Optional: Sprinkle with queso blanco for an extra treat
