Smoked Trout and Canadian Bacon Hash

I love hash! This one has the smokey but low fat flavors of Canadian bacon enhanced by the sweetness of smoked trout. If you can’t find trout, any smoked fish will work and still be delicious!

Making the Hash

Start by boiling the potatoes until they are just fork tender. I used some beautiful fingerling potatoes, but any thin skinned potato works great! You can usually find the fingerling potatoes in the produce department close to the other thinned skins (not russets).

While they are cooking, cut the Canadian bacon into small pieces, set aside. Cut the trout [8] into pieces and set that aside.

When the potatoes are cool, slice into ¼ to 1/3 inch thick slices.

Mix the sour cream and the chives and set aside.

Now you’re ready to start cooking!  Note: All the above steps can be done ahead of time. Just store the components separately until it’s almost breakfast time.

Heat the butter in a heavy skillet. Place each potato into the skillet in a single layer. Cook for about 2 to 3 minutes on each side, or until it starts to get golden brown.

Add the bacon and stir, cooking until the bacon is hot and just a little crispy on the edges, about 10 minutes.

While the bacon and potatoes are cooking, poach the eggs.

Just before you are ready to serve, stir the trout and capers into the potato mixture just until it’s warm.

Place each serving on a plate and top with a poached egg and a little sour cream and chives

– a little fresh fruit on the side would be perfect!

And Enjoy!
