Chop the russet and sweet potatoes into similar size pieces then chop the onions and peppers into larger chunks so they don’t disappear in the dish.

Next add the potatoes, onions and peppers to the skillet, season with salt and pepper and cook over medium-medium/high heat to sear then reduce the heat to medium/medium low. Grate in the garlic and cook until the potatoes are tender, stirring occasionally.

Reduce the heat to low then pour the vinegar onto the hash and cook 2-3 minutes until the vinegar is absorbed then fold in the crispy bacon. Fold in the fresh chopped parsley then taste and adjust salt and pepper as you like. 

How do I customize this hash?

This recipes shows the basics for making a good hash. You can build from it by adding other flavors you like or what you already have on hand. Here are a few ideas:

    This was very tasty. I adjusted it to make just enough for myself. forgot the garlic, and used a splash of balsalmic vinegar because it’s what I had. I only had regular bacon so I cooked a couple of slices until crispy and crumbled them over the top when this was finished. Yum! Thanks for the recipe. I will fix this again.
