Ingredients
- 1.5 pounds Yukon gold or russet potatoes, diced
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 0.5 teaspoon kosher salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 small yellow onion, finely diced
- 1 red bell pepper, diced
- 1 green bell pepper, diced
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 4 large eggs
- 0.5 cup shredded cheddar cheese (optional)
- 2 tablespoons everything bagel seasoning
- 2 green onions, thinly sliced
- 2 tablespoons fresh chives, chopped
- 0.25 cup cream cheese, cubed
Instructions
- Step 1: Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the diced potatoes, kosher salt, and black pepper. Cook for 10–12 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the potatoes are golden brown and beginning to crisp.
- Step 2: Add the remaining 1 tablespoon of olive oil along with the diced onion, red bell pepper, and green bell pepper to the skillet. Sauté for 5–7 minutes, or until the vegetables are softened and the potatoes are fully cooked.
- Step 3: Stir in the minced garlic and cook for an additional 1 minute until fragrant.
- Step 4: Create four wells within the hash mixture. Carefully crack one egg into each well. Lightly season the eggs with salt and pepper. Cover the skillet and cook for 3–5 minutes, or until the eggs reach your desired doneness.
- Step 5: Evenly sprinkle the everything bagel seasoning over the hash. If using, sprinkle the shredded cheddar cheese over the mixture and allow it to melt.
- Step 6: Dot the hash with cubed cream cheese. Scatter the thinly sliced green onions and chopped chives over the top.
- Step 7: Serve the breakfast hash hot, directly from the skillet.
Tips & Variations
- For extra crispiness, soak diced potatoes in cold water for 30 minutes before cooking, then pat dry thoroughly.
- Use smoked cheddar or pepper jack cheese for a flavor twist.
- Add cooked breakfast sausage or bacon for additional protein.
- If you prefer your eggs firmly cooked, increase the covered cooking time to 7–8 minutes.
Storage
Store leftover hash in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat gently in a skillet over medium heat or in a microwave until warmed through. For best texture, avoid reheating cream cheese, as it may change consistency.

- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 0.5 teaspoon kosher salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
Vegetables & Flavorings
- 1 small yellow onion, finely diced
- 1 red bell pepper, diced
- 1 green bell pepper, diced

Eggs & Dairy
- 4 large eggs
- 0.5 cup shredded cheddar cheese (optional)
- 0.25 cup cream cheese, cubed
Toppings & Garnish
- 2 tablespoons everything bagel seasoning
- 2 green onions, thinly sliced
- 2 tablespoons fresh chives, chopped
Instructions
- Crisp the Potatoes: Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the diced potatoes along with kosher salt and black pepper. Cook for 10–12 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the potatoes turn golden brown and start to crisp on the edges.
- Sauté Vegetables: Add the remaining 1 tablespoon of olive oil to the skillet. Stir in the finely diced onion, red bell pepper, and green bell pepper. Sauté for 5–7 minutes until the vegetables soften and the potatoes are fully cooked through.
- Infuse with Garlic: Stir in the minced garlic and cook for an additional 1 minute, allowing the aroma to develop and flavors to meld into the vegetable and potato mixture.
- Poach the Eggs: Using a spoon, create four small wells in the hash mixture. Carefully crack one egg into each well. Lightly season the eggs with salt and pepper. Cover the skillet and cook for 3–5 minutes, adjusting the time to achieve your preferred egg doneness, from runny yolks to fully set.
- Add Bagel Elements: Sprinkle the everything bagel seasoning evenly over the hash. If using cheddar cheese, scatter it over the mixture and allow it to melt slightly from the residual heat.
- Garnish and Serve: Dot the hash with small cubes of cream cheese, letting them soften slightly on the warm surface. Top with sliced green onions and freshly chopped chives for a burst of freshness and color.
- Present the Dish: Serve the breakfast hash hot directly from the skillet, ensuring each plate receives a generous scoop loaded with eggs, potatoes, and toppings.

- Adjust the everything bagel seasoning quantity to suit your taste or substitute with sesame seeds and poppy seeds if unavailable.
- To make the eggs fully cooked, increase covered cook time by a couple of minutes.
