-
Heat half the butter and the oil in a large pan. Fry the potatoes in 2 batches for 8 minutes each without stirring for the first 4, until crisp. Lift out.
-
Fry the onion and meat in the remaining butter for 5 minutes.
-
Return the potatoes, add the thyme, salt and pepper and fry for 3 minutes.
-
Fry the eggs in a separate pan.
-
Serve the hash topped with the eggs and with the beetroot on the side.
Small Things That Help
- Dice everything the same size.
- Fry the potatoes in batches.
- Serve with pickled beetroot.
If You're Missing Something
- Fresh herbs work in place of the dried thyme at roughly three times the quantity — a teaspoon of dried is about a tablespoon of fresh, chopped.
