Ingredients
  

2 medium potatoes, diced (about 2 cups)

1 tablespoon olive oil

1 small onion, finely diced

1 red bell pepper, diced

2 cloves garlic, minced

1 cup fresh green chilies, diced (choose mild or hot based on your preference)

1 teaspoon ground cumin

1 teaspoon smoked paprika

Salt and pepper to taste

4 large eggs

Fresh cilantro, chopped (for garnish)

Avocado slices (for serving)

Instructions
 

Prepare the Potatoes: In a medium-sized pot, add the diced potatoes and cover them with salted water. Bring to a boil over high heat, then reduce to a gentle simmer. Cook the potatoes until they are fork-tender, about 10 minutes. Drain the potatoes and set them aside to cool slightly.

    Sauté the Vegetables: In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Once hot, add the diced onion and red bell pepper. Sauté these for approximately 5 minutes, stirring occasionally until they are softened and fragrant.

      Incorporate Garlic and Chilies: Add the minced garlic and diced green chilies to the skillet. Continue to cook for an additional 2-3 minutes, stirring frequently until the garlic is aromatic and the chilies have softened.

        Combine with Potatoes: Transfer the drained potatoes to the skillet. Season with ground cumin, smoked paprika, salt, and pepper. Gently mix the ingredients until well combined and let the hash cook undisturbed for about 5-7 minutes. This will help to crisp up the potatoes; remember to stir occasionally for even cooking.

          Cook the Eggs: In another skillet, prepare the eggs according to your preference (scrambled, fried, or poached). If you like a baked style, create small wells in the hash, crack the eggs directly into these wells, cover the pan, and cook until the eggs are just set.

            Serve: Once the eggs are cooked to your liking, serve the breakfast hash hot. Top with the cooked eggs and a generous sprinkle of fresh cilantro for brightness. For an added layer of creaminess, serve with slices of avocado on the side.
