Farmhouse Hash

Last holiday season, I was appointed to make a breakfast for my family of eight. In an effort to use local produce from the Dubuque Winter Farmers Market, I found this recipe which uses several of the winter root crops! I received rave reviews from my family, and I hope you will too! It’s very easy to substitute in other root veggies, such as sweet potatoes or beets!

INGREDIENTS  

1 Tb Canola Oil
1/2 med Onion, diced
1 Carrot, diced
2 stalks Celery or 1/2 Celeriac, diced
2-5 medium Red or Blue Potatoes, diced

DIRECTIONS
