We barbecue just about every weekend in the summer.
Most weekends we have multiple barbecues, to be honest.
And there are always, always leftovers.
I mean, I’d rather make too much food and know everyone is full and happy over making too little and have grumbly bellies.
But I hate having leftovers that sit unused in my fridge.
So I try to come up with all kinds of creative ways to use them up.
Like this breakfast hash that uses up all my leftover hot dogs.
It’s delicious and not that much of a stretch since hot dogs aren’t that much different than sausage and you could easily make a sausage breakfast hash.
Ingredients
To make this you’ll need:
- Oil– I recommend extra virgin olive oil.
- Hot Dogs– Leftover grilled hot dogs, chopped.
- Refrigerated diced potatoes– The variety that has onions added.
- Veggies– Diced green bell peppers and a small diced yellow onion
- Spices– Garlic powder and smoked paprika
- Eggs- Poached or Fried
How to Make
To make this easy hash, add the oil to a large cast iron skillet set over medium high heat.
Once the oil is hot, add the potatoes and diced onion to the skillet.
Toss to coat everything in oil, then spread the potatoes and onions out in an even layer in the skillet.
Let the potato and onion mixture cook roughly 15 minutes, stirring every 3 minutes or so.
Then, stir the hot dogs and peppers into the potatoes, and continue cooking for another 5 minutes until the peppers are tender.
Serve with poached, or fried, eggs on top.
Enjoy!
How to Poach the Eggs
If you want to serve it with poached eggs on the side or over top like we did, start by heating a non stick skillet over medium high heat. Crack the eggs into the hot skillet and cook for 60-90 seconds, just until the whites are set.
Cover the skillet with a lid, and let them cook another 20 seconds then immediately remove the skillet from heat.
Slide the eggs out of the pan and on to the hash.
What to Serve with Hot Dog Hash
Toasted Hot Dog Buns
For the full experience, and because if you’ve got leftover grilled hot dogs- chances are there’s definitely leftover buns, serve them with buttery toasted hot dogs buns on the side.
Brush the insides of your buns with melted butter, and then arrange them on a rimmed baking sheet.
Bake them at 350 degrees for 3-4 minutes, just until golden brown and crisp.
I like to bake my buns while the hash is cooking so everything’s hot and ready to serve at the same time.
Tips and Tricks
- Using a plastic spatula will help you easily get in and under the frying potatoes to turn them while cooking without breaking the shredded hash browns down.
- This recipe makes 3-4 large servings.
- You can double the recipe if serving a crowd. It perfect if you have guests who stayed the night after your late-night barbecue whether they’re kids or adults.
