Ingredients
Scale
- 1 package Trader Joe’s Frozen Dumplings (about 12–16 dumplings, any variety you prefer)
- 2 medium-sized Yukon Gold potatoes (about 1 pound), diced into ½-inch cubes
- 1 medium onion, finely chopped
- 1 red bell pepper, diced
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 4 large eggs
- Fresh parsley or chives, chopped (for garnish)
Instructions
- Start by heating 2 tablespoons of olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. You’ll know it’s ready when the oil shimmers slightly. Avoid cooking on too high a heat to prevent burning the potatoes.
- Add the diced Yukon Gold potatoes to the heated skillet. Spread them out in an even layer and let them cook undisturbed for about 8 minutes. You want them to develop a nice golden brown crust. Stir occasionally to ensure all sides get crispy.
- Once the potatoes are golden, add the finely chopped onion and diced red bell pepper. Cook for an additional 4-5 minutes, stirring occasionally until the onions are translucent and the peppers are tender. Be careful not to overcook the onions; they should be soft but not browned.
- Next, sprinkle in 1 teaspoon of garlic powder and 1 teaspoon of smoked paprika. Stir well to coat the vegetables and potatoes evenly. The aroma will be enticing, and you’ll want to let it cook for about 1 minute to let the spices bloom.
- Now, add your frozen dumplings to the skillet. Toss them gently with the potato mixture, then cover the skillet with a lid and cook for 6-8 minutes. This allows the dumplings to steam and cook through. Check them halfway and give the mixture a stir to ensure even cooking.
- While the dumplings are steaming, crack 4 large eggs into a bowl and whisk them lightly. After the dumplings are cooked, create 4 small wells in the mixture and pour an egg into each well. Cover the skillet again and cook for another 3-4 minutes or until the eggs are set to your liking. If you prefer runny yolks, keep an eye on them!
- Once the eggs are cooked, remove the skillet from heat and season the hash with salt and pepper to taste. Garnish your dish with freshly chopped parsley or chives for a pop of color and flavor. Serve immediately and enjoy the warmth of this comforting breakfast!

Keywords: One common mistake is overcrowding the pan with potatoes. If your skillet is too full, the potatoes will steam instead of crisping up. Consider using two pans if necessary for optimal texture. For the best flavor, don’t skip the garlic powder and smoked paprika. These spices elevate the dish significantly.
