# How to Make It:
01 - Place diced potatoes in a large pot, cover with water, and boil for 4-5 minutes until slightly tender. Drain and set aside.
02 - Heat 2 tbsp olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the partially cooked potatoes and sauté for 8-10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until golden and crispy.
03 - Push the potatoes to one side of the pan. Add remaining 1 tbsp olive oil, then add the bell peppers, red onion, and mushrooms. Cook for 5-6 minutes until vegetables soften.
04 - Stir in the garlic, smoked paprika, cumin, turmeric, and chili flakes. Cook for 1 minute until fragrant.
05 - Add the spinach and sauté for 1-2 minutes until just wilted.
06 - Mix everything together. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
07 - Garnish with chopped parsley or chives. Serve hot with hot sauce, if desired.
# Expert Tips:
01 -
- The crispy potato edges contrast perfectly with tender vegetables in every bite
- It keeps beautifully in the fridge and tastes even better the next day
02 -
- Crowding the pan will steam the potatoes instead of crisping them, so use your largest skillet or cook in batches if necessary
- Letting the spices cook for that full minute in step 4 makes the difference between a dish that tastes seasoned and one that tastes truly exceptional
03 -
- Dry your par-boiled potatoes thoroughly with a clean kitchen towel before adding them to the hot oil for maximum crispiness
- Let your skillet heat up properly before adding ingredients, otherwise you will end up with steamed vegetables instead of a properly developed hash
