Can I use ground turkey instead of beef?

Yes, ground turkey works well, but add a tablespoon of oil to the pan because it is leaner and can stick more easily.

What should I serve with hamburger hash?

Cornbread, a simple green salad, or sliced tomatoes all pair nicely with the savory beef and potatoes.

How can I store leftovers?

Store the hash in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 4 days, then reheat it in a skillet over medium heat until hot. [tasty-recipe id="16286"]

Instructions

Crisp the Potatoes: Heat the vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat, add the diced potatoes in an even layer, and cover for 8 minutes. Uncover, stir, and cook for 7 to 8 more minutes until golden and fork-tender, then transfer them to a plate.
Brown the Beef: Reduce the heat to medium, add the ground beef, and break it apart with a spatula. Cook for 6 to 8 minutes until no pink remains, then drain the excess fat, leaving about 1 tablespoon in the pan.
Soften the Onion: Stir in the diced onion and cook for 4 to 5 minutes until translucent, then add the minced garlic and cook for 1 minute until fragrant.
Season and Combine: Return the potatoes to the skillet, sprinkle in the Italian seasoning, salt, and black pepper, and stir for 2 minutes until everything is evenly coated and heated through.
Melt the Cheese: Reduce the heat to low, sprinkle the shredded cheddar evenly over the hash, and cover for 2 to 3 minutes until melted and bubbly.
Rest Briefly: Turn off the heat and let the skillet sit for 1 minute so the cheese sets slightly.
Serve Hot: Scoop the hash onto plates and add your favorite optional toppings while it's still warm.
