Root Vegetable Hash

I've been enjoying my root vegetables.  They are delicious, satisfying, and full of vitamins and minerals, (especially iron, beta-carotene/vitamin A and vitamin C). They satisfy that winter comfort food craving that I often get.  This dish is a simple preparation of diced root vegetables stir fried together in Olive oil. 

It is as simple as pulling together any of your favorite root vegetables; such as potatoes, beets, sweet potatoes, parsnips, carrots, turnips, onions, garlic, any that you like.  Pre-cook all but the garlic and onions, by boiling them in a pot of water with skins on.  Pull them out when they are just beginning to get tender, but are still slightly under cooked.

Cool until you are able to handle them comfortably, peel them and dice them up.

Place them into a hot pan drizzled with olive oil.  I like to brown the onions first, add the garlic, and then the vegetables.  Leave the vegetables unstirred to cook and brown for a couple of minutes, then stir all together getting a good brown on them.  Add salt and pepper to taste. You could also bake them instead of frying them if you desired.

Dish them up and sprinkle generously with chives or green onions.

Serve as a side dish for dinner….

Or top with an egg and serve for breakfast.
