Roasted Potato and Pepper Hash
Becky Luigart-Stayner
Whether this is breakfast, or breakfast-for-dinner, this satisfying skillet recipe is easy and impressive.
Use an air fryer for homemade fries! You get all the crispiness with none of the splatter, cleanup, or figuring out what to do with leftover cooking oil.
Is the best part of this dish the combo of Gruyère and Parm, the fresh herbs, or the generous amount of heavy cream? We'll forgive you if it takes you several big bites to decide. Keep slices even by using a mandoline.
This is it: A perfect balance of creamy and tangy, with good bites of hard boiled egg and fresh tarragon. Make this whenever you're craving the classic dish.
This quick but hearty weeknight meal gets a big boost of speed from leftover rotisserie chicken. And a big boost of flavor from some smart spices and bacon!
