Summary of "The Best Bacon Hash You’ll Ever Make Cheap & Easy"

Ingredients

Bacon bits or bacon offcuts (use smoky bacon for best flavor)
Potatoes
Butter (optional, to add buttery flavor to potatoes)
Onion
Smoked paprika (or sweet paprika as a substitute)
Garlic powder (or fresh garlic as a substitute)
Black pepper (to taste)
Salt (lightly, due to bacon saltiness)
Mixed dried herbs (e.g., Herbs de Provence, Italian mixed herbs, or dried thyme)
Canned beans
Eggs (for serving)
Optional: green onions for garnish
Optional: HP sauce or brown sauce for serving

Cook the bacon Heat the pan and add bacon bits or offcuts. Cook steadily until some pieces are crispy and others less so, providing a variety of textures. Remove the bacon but leave the rendered fat in the pan.
Cook the potatoes Add a little butter to the bacon fat for extra flavor. Place the potatoes in a single layer with some space to allow browning. Cook for about 8–10 minutes, turning occasionally to achieve an even golden color and slight crunch. Add chopped onion partway through cooking.
Season the potatoes Add smoked paprika (or sweet paprika if smoked is unavailable), garlic powder (or fresh garlic), black pepper, and a light pinch of salt (keeping salt minimal due to the bacon). Stir in a pinch of mixed dried herbs for added flavor.
Combine and finish Stir the cooked bacon back into the potatoes and onions. Warm the canned beans separately in another pan.
Serve Plate the bacon and potato hash with warmed beans on the side. Top with an egg cooked to your liking. Garnish with green onions if desired, and optionally drizzle with HP or brown sauce.
