What is hash?
Hash began as a way to use up leftovers, the dish is made from chopped meat, potatoes and onions which are fried in one pan. The name comes from the French: Hacher which means to chop.
This hash uses left over hot dogs for the meat.

Equipment you need to make it
You do not need much equipment to make hot dog hash. It is a one pot meal so there will not be much washing up. You need:
- A large frying pan
- Sharp knife
Ingredients
The beauty of hot dog hash is that you can make a great meal from very few ingredients. Two leftover hot dogs, one large potato and an onion and garlic turns into two large servings.
- Hot dogs – Just slice these into small pieces. I used Ye Olde Oak hotdogs.
- Potato – If you have left over boiled potatoes these work perfectly. If you don’t an uncooked potato is fine. Chop it into small cubes.
- Onions and garlic: Peel and chop into small pieces. One clove of garlic and one small onion is all you need.
- Onions and garlic: Peel and chop into small pieces. One clove of garlic and one small onion is all you need.

How to make Hot Dog Hash
Add some oil to a large frying pan. You will need about 1 -2 tablespoons to brown the potatoes properly. When the oil is hot add the cubed potatoes. Cook the potatoes for around ten minutes, until they are brown on the outside and soft on the inside. Stir occasionally so they cook evenly.

When the potatoes are nearly done add the garlic and onions and cook until they are nearly soft. Finally add the hot dogs and season with salt, pepper and paprika.
Make it your own
This hot dog hash recipe is really easy to adapt and make your own.
You could:
- Swap the hot dogs for left over sausages
- Add in some left over vegetables from your fridge – think mushrooms and red pepper.
- Add a little bacon for extra taste.
- Throw in some chilli powder for a little spice.
The only limit is your imagination.

What to serve with it?
Hot dog hash is a complete meal on its own but what hash would be complete without an egg? You can poach the egg or fry it.
I like my eggs sunny side up. Just add a little oil to a small pan on a medium heat. When it heats up crack the egg into the pan and cook until the white is set but the yolk is runny. Slide the egg on top of the hash.
Serve with ketchup on the side.

Do you know, I have never even realised that hash comes from the French hacher – it makes perfect sense though ! Love the sound of this dish. I have a big pack of sausages to use up so this will be a great idea. Sounds delicious too 🙂
ooh let me know how it goes! It does make sense when you think about it!
