HOW TO MAKE IT

Let's cook.

01

Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a large non-stick skillet over medium-high heat. Add the diced potatoes and cook for 15-20 minutes, stirring occasionally, until golden brown and tender. Remove potatoes from the skillet and set aside.

02

Add the remaining 1 tablespoon of olive oil to the same skillet. Add the diced red onion, red bell pepper, and yellow bell pepper. Cook for 5-7 minutes over medium heat, stirring frequently, until vegetables are softened.

03

Stir in the aji amarillo paste, cumin, salt, and black pepper. Cook for 1 minute, stirring constantly, until fragrant.

04

Return the cooked potatoes to the skillet with the vegetables. Toss gently to combine and heat through for 2-3 minutes.

05

While the hash is heating, fry the eggs. Heat a separate non-stick pan over medium heat. Crack each egg into the pan and cook for 2-3 minutes, or until the whites are set and the yolks are still runny.

06

Divide the potato hash among four plates. Top each serving with a fried egg.

07

Garnish with fresh chopped cilantro and serve immediately.

Chef's Tips

For extra crispiness, ensure the potatoes are in a single layer when cooking and avoid overcrowding the pan. You can also par-boil the potatoes for 5 minutes before dicing and frying to reduce cooking time.
↔

Easy Substitutions

If aji amarillo paste is unavailable, you can substitute with 1/2 teaspoon of smoked paprika and a pinch of cayenne pepper for a similar flavor profile. Any color of bell pepper can be used. For a vegetarian option, omit the eggs and serve with avocado slices.

Storage & Reheating

Store leftover potato hash in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat gently in a skillet over medium heat until warmed through. Fried eggs are best enjoyed fresh.
