Shishito Pepper Potato Hash with Fried Eggs image

Shishito peppers give a mildly spicy kick to this old-school breakfast classic. If you can't find them at your farmer's market, use any chile pepper with a similar heat level, like poblanos or pimentos de Padron.

Yield Makes 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 9

1 pound small red new potatoes, scrubbed (about 10)
1 pound shishito peppers, stemmed and left whole
2/3 cup shredded Jack cheese (about 3 ounces)
1 cup sliced scallions
3/4 teaspoon kosher salt, plus more to taste
3 tablespoons unsalted butter, divided
4 large eggs
Dressed salad greens, for serving
Hot sauce, for serving

Steps:

  • In a large pot fitted with a steamer basket, steam the potatoes until tender, about 20 minutes. Transfer potatoes to a large bowl until cool enough to handle. Using the palms of your hands, gently smash the potatoes. Add the shishitos, cheese, scallions, and 3/4 teaspoon salt to the bowl and, using a wooden spoon, mix gently to combine.
  • In a large nonstick skillet over medium heat, melt 1 tablespoon butter. Add potato mixture and fry, flipping once or twice, until cheese is melted, peppers are soft, and mixture is golden brown, about 10 minutes. Remove from pan and divide among four plates.
  • Wipe out the skillet and heat the remaining 2 tablespoons butter over medium-high heat. Crack in the eggs and fry to desired doneness. Top hash with fried eggs and serve immediately with greens and hot sauce.
