Ingredients
  

2 medium russet potatoes, diced into small cubes

1 tablespoon olive oil

1 small onion, finely diced

2 cloves garlic, minced

1 red bell pepper, diced

1 jalapeño pepper, seeded and finely diced

1 pound ground beef or ground turkey

2 tablespoons taco seasoning

Salt and pepper to taste

4 large eggs

1 ripe avocado, sliced for topping

1 cup shredded cheddar cheese

Fresh cilantro, chopped (for garnish)

Salsa (for serving alongside)

Instructions
 

Cook the Potatoes: In a large, heavy-bottomed skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Once hot, add the diced russet potatoes and season generously with salt and pepper. Cook for approximately 10-12 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the potatoes are golden brown and tender on the inside. Once cooked, remove the potatoes from the skillet and set aside for later use.

    Sauté the Vegetables: In the same skillet, add the finely diced onion, minced garlic, diced red bell pepper, and diced jalapeño. Sauté the mixture for about 5 minutes, stirring frequently until the vegetables are softened and fragrant.

      Cook the Meat: Add the ground beef or ground turkey to the skillet with the softened vegetables. Sprinkle the taco seasoning evenly over the meat. Cook, stirring occasionally, for about 7-10 minutes until the meat is well browned and cooked through. Ensure it is crumbly and evenly mixed with the vegetables.

        Combine the Ingredients: Return the cooked potatoes to the skillet, mixing them thoroughly with the meat and vegetable mixture. Use a spatula to combine all ingredients evenly. Allow the hash to cook for an additional 2-3 minutes to heat everything through and meld the flavors.

          Fry the Eggs: In a separate non-stick skillet, fry the eggs to your liking—sunny side up or over easy works beautifully. Cook until the whites are set but the yolks remain runny for a deliciously creamy topping.

            Assemble the Hash: Ladle the spicy taco potato hash into bowls. Top each serving with a perfectly fried egg, a few slices of avocado, and a generous sprinkle of shredded cheddar cheese for added richness.

              Garnish and Serve: Finish the dish by garnishing with freshly chopped cilantro for a burst of color and flavor. Serve with salsa on the side, allowing each guest to add as much as they prefer for an extra kick.
