A really good hash recipe is a home cook’s ace up the sleeve. Of course, this savory SPAM hash is a no-brainer in all the classic brunchy scenarios — bloodies on the patio with the BFF or a long weekend in the mountains with the S.O. But it’s also exactly the one-skillet wonder you want for the less planful, spontaneous midweek moments, like when your neighbor (the good one) drops by for a happy hour beer and ends up staying for dinner.

On the cooking side of things, the number one thing it’s got going for it is its basic ingredients — chances are, you’ve got everything you need in your fridge and pantry. (If there isn’t a can of SPAM in there, get thee to the store. Hello, SPAM Musubi!) It’s also really easy to throw together: a little veggie chopping, one pan, 10 minutes on the stove, six minutes in the oven, and boom, done!

All that ease belies a delicious, satisfying dish. It’s got sweet, crunchy bell peppers, the salty umami-rific SPAM, and tender fingerling potatoes. We love how the skins slide off the potatoes and caramelize to a crisp in the hot, hot pan. The whole dish is redolent with onion and garlic, and has a nice, light kick, thanks to wheels of mild jalapeño pepper. And let us not forget the eggs, which add a lot of sunshine to the dish — that jammy egg yolk is the perfect, creamy complement to all those tasty aromatics.

Our tip: When shopping for SPAM, make sure to get the low-sodium variety; otherwise, the salt will overwhelm your hash. And, trust us, even with the low-sodium SPAM, you do not need to add any salt to the dish.
