Crisper Drawer Hash

One thing hash of all kinds excel at is lowering your kitchen food costs by cleaning out your pantry and refrigerator. This is your basic, "let's see what's left in the crisper drawer" variety hash so of course the list of ingredients will vary on what vegetables are available.

1 Russett potato cut into 1/2 cubes
1/2 onion, sliced
1 handful asparagus, chopped large
1/4 red pepper, diced
1 carrot julienned
1 clove garlic, minced
1 large handful spinach, saute'd
3 eggs
1/2 cup cheddar
Olive oil
Butter
Salt & Pepper to taste

Heat a large skillet with olive oil to cover the bottom of the pan on medium high heat. When hot add the potatos. While turning every couple minutes cook for about 5 minutes and add the onion. After another 5 minutes or so add the red pepper and asparagus. After another 5 add the carrot and the garlic. Salt & pepper. Turn down the heat to medium.

Heat a medium non-stick skillet on medium heat and add a pat of butter. When the butter starts to froth add the handful of spinach and saute until wilted and transfer to the large skillet. This will keep the spinach from introducing a bunch of moisture to your hash and make it soggy. Now you can wipe out the non-stick with a paper towel and add another pat and scramble the eggs. When the eggs just set add those and the cheddar to the large skillet, turn off the heat and toss the hash to combine.

Serves two hungry or four not so hungry people.
