Who Hash Recipe

Potatoes: Diced into small cubes, they provide the base and bulk of the hash.

Ham: Adds a savory and slightly salty flavor to the dish.

Onions: Diced finely, they bring a sweet and aromatic element.

Bell peppers: Adds color and a mild, sweet flavor to the hash.

Vegetable oil: Used to cook and crisp up the potatoes and other ingredients.

To achieve perfectly crispy potatoes, make sure to dice them uniformly. This ensures even cooking and prevents some pieces from being undercooked while others are overdone. Additionally, resist the urge to stir too frequently. Allow the potatoes to sit undisturbed for a few minutes at a time to develop a nice, golden-brown crust.

• Allow the Who Hash to cool completely before storing. This helps maintain the texture and flavor of the potatoes and ham.
• Transfer the cooled Who Hash into an airtight container. This prevents any unwanted moisture or air from getting in, which can affect the quality.
• Label the container with the date of preparation. This ensures you keep track of how long the Who Hash has been stored.
• Store the container in the refrigerator if you plan to consume it within 3-4 days. The vegetable oil and diced onions will keep their flavors well within this timeframe.
• For longer storage, place the Who Hash in a freezer-safe container or a heavy-duty freezer bag. Make sure to remove as much air as possible to prevent freezer burn.
• Label the freezer container with the date. The Who Hash can be frozen for up to 2 months without significant loss of quality.
