Instructions
- Dice potatoes into roughly 1 cm cubes. No need to peel.
- Heat oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat.
- Add the potatoes in a single layer. Press down lightly. Cook without stirring for 5–6 minutes until the bottom is golden.
- Stir and continue cooking another 8–10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until potatoes are cooked through and crispy on most sides.
- Add the onion and frozen peppers. Cook 4–5 minutes until softened.
- Add the garlic, paprika, and onion powder. Cook 1 minute.
- Season with salt and pepper.
- Use a spoon to make 8 shallow wells in the hash. Crack one egg into each well.

- Serve directly from the skillet.

Budget Notes
- Buy potatoes in 4 kg or larger bags — per-kilogram cost drops significantly.
- Frozen peppers from a bulk bag are much cheaper than fresh. Any colour works.
- Leftover hash reheats well in a skillet over medium heat with a splash of water.
- Add hot sauce, salsa, or sour cream if available. Shredded cheddar also works.
