Country Pork And Apple Hash

Country Pork And Apple Hash

Ingredients:

6 large russet potatoes, peeled and diced
Salt
4 tablespoons unsalted butter
2 large firm medium-sweet apples, like Gala or Honeycrisp, peeled and diced
2 onions, minced
2 pounds roast pork
1/2 cup chicken broth
4 sprigs thyme, leaves only
Poached or sunny-side-up eggs, for serving
Cooked collard or dandelion greens, for serving (optional).

Directions

1. In a large pot, cover potatoes with cold salted water, bring to a simmer and cook until barely tender (do not overcook, or boil rapidly). Drain.
2. Melt butter in a very wide skillet. Add apples and onions and cook, stirring, until softened and golden around edges, about 10 minutes. Add pork and broth; cook over medium-high heat for 3 to 5 minutes, stirring occasionally. Add potatoes and thyme leaves and cook, stirring occasionally and pressing mixture in pan until hot and edges are crisped. Serve topped with eggs and cooked greens, if desired.
Yield: 8 to 10 servings.  Time 1 hour.
