So I have a confession, ever since I first figured out how to recreate my Mom’s classic pot roast in my pressure cooker, I’ve been going a bit overboard on making it and well.. I ended up with a 3qrt container FULL of cooked pot roast. *blush* And in case you’re wondering how much 3 qrts of cooked pot roast is… it’s A LOT!  Like A LOT, a lot!  But you have to understand, I LOVE THIS DISH. However Mr. Fantabulous was getting  a bit tired of it. Truth be told even I was getting a teensy bit burnt out as well.  But that’s a good thing as it ‘forces’ me to revamp my leftovers into new and creative ways! And that’s where this dish came into play.

It was Saturday morning and I was cleaning out my fridge.  I had grabbed some containers as I was going to freeze some of the pot roast when I maybe-kinda-sorta snuck a bite.  Have to admit, even cold this stuff rocked.  However I’m one of those girls that needs breakfast food for breakfast (unless it’s pizza – that stuff I can eat anytime).  So I put the roast into the containers then into the freezer.  Once I cleaned up the dishes I went to make breakfast but man I could not stop thinking about that pot roast.

…and that’s when I pulled the container I just put in to the freezer, out.  I was going to somehow incorporate this into breakfast if it was the last thing I did!

Now I could have easily make a breakfast sandwich out this pot roast (fyi… this on grilled ciabiatta and a dippy egg = AWESOME!) but I wanted something heartier.  Plus I was craving home fries. And let’s face it, my home fries are EPIC!

After a quick parboil of the potatoes and good drain I put them into a cast iron pan to cook up and get all toasty brown.  Now you can easily put in some peppers and onions.  Heck you could even add crispy bacon – um, hello! Bacon goes with everything! Once the taters were all crispy brown that got topped with tons of that shredded pot roast and lots of cheese.  I mean why not cheese!  Into the oven to melt the cheese for a minute or two and it’s time to dig in.  At this point I topped it with some green onions not just for some color but also for a light bright taste.

This dish, once you add the pot roast is pretty much blank slate for you. You can add in whatever you want.  That’s the beauty about hash.  Clean out the fridge with this one.  Add veggies, maybe some more meats, heck you could even top with eggs and bake it.  Now that’s awesome btw.

For me all I wanted was a fork and some ketchup.  Yes ketchup. Shush, don’t judge me. I love ketchup on home fries.  They are crispy potatoes thus they are borderline french fries.  Pot Roast is beef, burgers are beef and ketchup goes on burgers thus ketchup goes on pot roast.  <blink blink blink> LOL

This dish was BEYOND delicious and honestly one of my favorite breakfast dishes.  This is a total Sunday dish and one that you don’t have to feel that guilty about eating. If you think about it, it’s nothing more than a comfort dish of “steak and potatoes”.  Toss in a couple cooked eggs and you’re golden!

So when you make your pot roast, make sure to save some for this dish the next morning.  Actually save it for the weekend as it’s one you’ll want to eat a late Saturday morning breakfast or Sunday brunch.

    A little confused – step 2 days 5 minutes – what is that referencing?

      Hi! In step one I tell you to put the potatoes in a pot and cover it with just enough cool water to cover the potatoes. Step 2 I then tell you to turn on the pan to high heat and then once the water starts to boil, remove the pot from the heat (shut off the heat), and drain the potatoes. That whole step from turning it on to high heat to boil should take around 5 minutes. I say 5 minutes as I tell you to use a large sauce pan and only a certain amount of potatoes.

      Best Kitchen Wishes!

      Thank you so much Terry! This is one of those dishes that my Dad would have easily made for us growing up (had we had actual leftovers!). Having 4 older brothers they pretty much ate us out of the house day after day!

      Best Kitchen Wishes!
