Ingredients

The ingredients you will need for this breakfast recipe are:

• Potatoes. The best option is Russet, they are by far the easiest to find with a slightly starchier texture and crisp up nicely in the oven. You can also use red, they are a bit waxier, but still taste delicious. Yukon gold potatoes is another waxy variety, and can be used if you don’t have Russet. Finally, sweet potatoes will largely affect the taste, but will have a very similar texture.
• Bell Peppers. A red and green bell pepper are used but all of one color will work well, too.
• Onion. A red onion was used in this recipe (for color and flavor!), but a sweet, white, or yellow onion will also work.
• Oil. Avocado oil is recommended, but olive or vegetable oil are also great substitutions.
• Blackened Seasoning. Homemade blackened seasoning was used in this recipe but you can also substitute it for a Cajun seasoning blend or Season All for a milder flavor.
• Eggs. Free range and organic definitely taste the best and are also better for you.

How to Make Sheet Pan Breakfast Potato Hash

This easy breakfast hash recipe is simple to make:

Prepare the Veggies

First, you need to chop up potatoes, peppers, and onions. You want small, bite-sized pieces.

Here is a quick guide for how to cut an onion.

Season and Spread

Place potatoes in a large Ziploc bag. Add oil and blackened seasoning. Shake it well until all of the pieces are covered.

Spread the potatoes out on the baking sheet.

Use the same bag and add the chopped bell peppers, onions, oil, and salt. Toss to cover all of the veggies.

If you want to meal prep, use two different bags and store them in the fridge until you’re ready to use.

You can also use a large bowl instead of a bag if you prefer.

Having the right type of sheet pan is crucial for your potatoes and veggies to cook up fully.

You will need a sheet pan that is large enough to fit all of the ingredients on it or you can divide the recipe into two different sheet pans.

The pan I recommend is a 17 inch x 11 inch bakers half-sheet pan.  It gives you plenty of room for the vegetables to spread out in a single layer and still have space for the eggs.

First Bake

Preheat oven to 425℉.

Place the pan in the oven and cook for 25 to 30 minutes.

Be sure to flip the veggies halfway through cooking so everything gets crispy.

Add the Eggs

Remove the pan from the oven. Make 8 wells or nests in the center of the vegetables and drizzle with the remaining tablespoon of oil. 

Crack one egg in each well.

Finish Cooking

Return the potato and eggs to the oven and cook for 10-15 minutes, or until the eggs are cooked to your desired doneness.

If you are like me and enjoy your eggs a little closer to over-hard, you will want to bake this sheet pan meal after adding the eggs for 13-15 minutes.

However, if you would prefer them to be over-easy and have a runny yolk, cook for 10-12 minutes after adding the eggs.

To test for doneness:  Simply give the sheet pan a shake and watch to see if the yolks jiggle.  If they do not, the eggs are fully cooked.

Variations to Try

There are so many different variations you can try in this recipe.  You can use it as a framework and let your imagination soar!

A few ideas you can test out:

• Use sweet potatoes in place of the russet.
• Add a bit of spice with some jalapeño or serrano peppers.
• Use a taco seasoning mix in place of the blackened seasoning.
• Serve it with some homemade remoulade sauce or thousand island dressing.
• Add a bit of cooked bacon or sausage.
• Toss with fresh herbs or mushrooms.

Meal Prep and Storage

• To Prep-Ahead: The best part of this meal is how easy it is to prep the night or day before. Be sure to toss the potatoes in 1-2 tablespoons of oil along with the seasonings and store them in an airtight Ziplock bag for up to 12-24 hours.
• To Store: After it is baked, store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 4 to 5 days, separate from the eggs.
• To Freeze: It is best to flash-freeze the veggies in a single layer on a pan in the oven for a couple of hours. Then, transfer to a freezer-safe bag. This should keep for up to 6 to 9 months. Do not freeze the eggs.
• To Reheat: Add the hash to a skillet with a touch of oil, cover it, and heat it up on low for 5-10 minutes.  Additionally, you can also add it to a 250℉ oven, covered with aluminum foil, and warm it up for 10-15 minutes.
