Print Recipe

A hearty and flavorful breakfast recipe using leftover smoked brisket, crispy potatoes, caramelized onions, and perfectly fried eggs. This dish delivers a comforting blend of smoky, crispy, and creamy textures.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 8 ounces smoked brisket, chopped into bite-sized pieces
  • 3 medium russet potatoes, peeled and diced into ½-inch cubes
  • 1 medium yellow onion, diced
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced (optional)
  • 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • 3 tablespoons vegetable or canola oil (or avocado oil for a healthier option)
  • 1 tablespoon butter
  • 4 large eggs
  • Fresh parsley or chives, chopped for garnish

Instructions

  1. Peel and dice russet potatoes into roughly ½-inch cubes. Rinse in cold water to remove excess starch, then pat dry thoroughly with a clean kitchen towel.
  2. Heat 2 tablespoons of vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add diced potatoes in a single layer and cook without stirring for about 5 minutes. Then gently turn to brown on multiple sides, cooking for a total of 10-15 minutes until golden and crisp but tender inside. Add more oil if potatoes start to stick.
  3. Push potatoes to one side of the skillet. Add butter and diced onions to the empty space. Cook until onions soften and start to caramelize, about 4-5 minutes. Add minced garlic during the last minute, being careful not to burn it.
  4. Stir chopped smoked brisket into the skillet, mixing evenly with potatoes and onions. Sprinkle smoked paprika, salt, and pepper over the hash. Cook for another 3 minutes to warm brisket and crisp edges.
  5. In a separate non-stick pan, heat 1 teaspoon of oil over medium heat. Crack in eggs and cook until whites are set but yolks remain runny, about 3-4 minutes. Season with salt and pepper. Cover pan briefly if firmer yolks are desired.
  6. Spoon brisket hash onto plates and top each serving with a fried egg. Garnish with freshly chopped parsley or chives.

Notes

Dry potatoes thoroughly before cooking to ensure crispiness. Use medium heat to avoid burning potatoes. Avoid overcrowding the pan to prevent steaming. For dairy-free, substitute butter with dairy-free spread or extra oil. Leftovers reheat best in a skillet to maintain crispiness. Potatoes can be prepped the night before and stored in cold water.
