Ingredients
Vegetables
- 1 cup diced onion
- 2 garlic cloves, chopped
- 2 cups diced potato (any variety)
- ½ cup diced beets
- ½ cup diced sweet potato
- ½ cup diced parsnips
- ½ cup diced carrot
Spices & Herbs
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon black pepper
- Freshly chopped parsley, dill, or chives (optional)
Other
- 1 tablespoon medium-high heat oil (such as olive oil or avocado oil)
Instructions
- Heat the skillet and oil: Place a large skillet over medium heat and add 1 tablespoon of oil. Allow the oil to warm until hot but not smoking.
- Add paprika and aromatics: Sprinkle 1 teaspoon of paprika into the hot oil and let it sizzle for 15 seconds to release its flavor. Immediately add the diced onion and chopped garlic. Sauté for 2 to 3 minutes, stirring occasionally until the onions soften and become translucent.
- Cook the root vegetables: Add the diced potatoes, beets, sweet potatoes, parsnips, and carrots into the skillet. Stir well to combine with the onions and garlic. Continue cooking over medium heat for 10 to 15 minutes, stirring frequently to ensure even cooking and prevent sticking. The vegetables should become tender and cooked through but still retain some bite.
- Season the hash: Sprinkle 1 teaspoon salt and 1 teaspoon black pepper over the vegetables. Stir to distribute seasonings evenly. Taste and adjust seasoning if desired.
- Optional garnish and serve: Remove the skillet from heat. If desired, sprinkle freshly chopped parsley, dill, or chives over the hash for a fresh herbal note. Serve immediately while warm.
Notes
- Cut vegetables into even-sized pieces for uniform cooking and to avoid undercooked or overcooked chunks.
- Use a food chopper or mandoline to quickly dice the vegetables in consistent sizes and save prep time.
- Choose a large skillet so all vegetables have direct contact with the pan surface for better browning and faster cooking.
- Adjust cooking time based on the size of the vegetable pieces and your preferred level of doneness.
