Step by step: danish meat and potato hash with bacon
Prepare ingredients: Cut the pre-boiled potatoes and meat into small cubes of similar size. Chop the onions finely so they cook evenly with the other ingredients. Having everything ready before you start frying makes the process much smoother.
Fry bacon and onions: Heat a large frying pan over medium heat and add the bacon lardons. Cook the bacon until it starts to release its fat and becomes slightly crispy. Add the chopped onions to the pan and fry them until they are soft and translucent.
Crisp potatoes and meat: Melt the butter and oil in the pan before adding the diced potatoes and meat. Turn the heat up slightly and fry the mixture for about ten minutes. Stir occasionally but allow the Danish Meat and Potato Hash with Bacon to sit for a minute at a time to get a nice brown crust.
Fry eggs and serve: Season the hash with salt and pepper then keep it warm in the pan. Fry the four eggs in a separate small pan or move the hash to one side. Place an egg on top of each portion and serve the meal immediately with some pickles.
My best tips for danish meat and potato hash with bacon
For the best results with Danish Meat and Potato Hash with Bacon, use potatoes that have been cooked and cooled completely. Cold potatoes hold their shape much better in the pan and will crisp up more easily than freshly boiled ones. If you want more variety, you can add different types of leftover meat like sausage or ham to the mix.
Make sure the pan is large enough so the ingredients are not crowded, as this helps them fry rather than steam. You can also add a splash of Worcestershire sauce or a little liquid stock to the pan for extra depth of flavour. Always taste the dish before adding extra salt because the bacon and meat may already be quite salty.
