Hash makes a fast brunch or even light supper dish. This variation is made with canned tuna, onion, and plenty of potatoes, and is seasoned with fresh dill, ketchup, and Dijon mustard.
INGREDIENTS (for 4 servings):
- 2 tablespoons vegetable or olive oil
- 1 large onion, cut into 1/2-inch dice
- 3 (6 ounce) cans tuna, drained
- 1 1/2 pounds starchy potatoes (such as Idaho), cut into 1/2-inch dice
- 2 tablespoons vegetable or olive oil
- 2 tablespoons ketchup
- 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
- 2 tablespoons chopped fresh dill
- 2 tablespoons water
- Salt and freshly ground black pepper
PREPARATION:
Heat 2 Tbs. oil over low heat in a 12-inch non-stick skillet (so potatoes don't stick). While skillet heats, prepare onion and tuna as directed above. A few minutes before cooking, increase heat to medium-high. When oil starts to send up wisps of smoke, add onion and tuna; cook, stirring often, until golden brown. Meanwhile, dice potatoes and toss with remaining oil. Transfer tuna mixture to a bowl and reserve.
Add potatoes to empty skillet; cook, stirring only occasionally so they form a golden-brown crust, about 10 minutes. As potatoes cook, mix ketchup, mustard, fresh dill and 2 Tbs. of water. (Recipe can be prepared to this point up to 2 hours ahead. Spread hot potatoes on a large lipped cookie sheet; cover when cool. Return skillet to medium-high; add potatoes and re-crisp.)
Return reserved tuna mixture to skillet; stir in ketchup mixture, then season with salt and pepper. Cook, stirring frequently, until hash has nicely browned, about 5 minutes longer.
