Pancetta, Eggs & Potato Hash
My friend, the one that was in from out of town, came over to my apt on his last day here so we could go grab brunch and say our farewells.
Bu when he got here, he goes, “So what’s for breakfast?”
Um… excuse me?
He’s like, “Yeah I’m thinking bacon and eggs, potatoes…that sort of thing.”
Wait a min…we’re not going out?
See the problem when friends read your blog, is that they start acting all entitled and shit.
Expecting a g*ddamn feast everything they come over.
Like you owe them the food you eat.
Listen people, the answer is fucking no. Alright?
No you do not get to eat the shit I eat, because you feel like it.
You can only get it if you’re around when I’m making it.
I mean what, it’s not your birthday. Christmas is over baby.
I do not.
Owe you shit, alright?
Fucking A.
I mean it’s fucking amazing….the entitlement..
Fucking. amazing.
“So how come you don’t cook like this when I’m around?”
What is this, a g*ddamn reality show?
This is my house alright, my dojo.
I cook whatever I want whenever I g*ddamn well please.
That said, I made him his Bacon Pancetta, Eggs & Potatoes breakfast.
He was already on his way out so you know…whatever.
Plus, it shut him the fuck up which is what this was all about in the first damn place.
Bacon Pancetta, Eggs & Potato Hash
What I Used.
2 cups Pancetta bits (or diced Bacon bits). 4 cups Finely Diced Potatoes. 1 cup Milk (Soymilk for me). ½ Onion (roughly chopped). Eggs. Salt. Pepper. ½ cup Fine Diced Scallions (green part only).
What I Did.
Heat a large pan under med-high flame and add the Pancetta.
Let cook for about 5 mins, stirring frequently to scrape any bits stuck to the bottom of the pan.
Then add in the chopped onion.
Cook, stirring often, until the onions start to turn translucent.
Add in the diced potatoes.
Let cook for about 3 mins, still doing the stirring thing.
Then add in the milk/soymilk and season with salt & pepper.
Stir, then cover and let cook for about 10 mins or until the potatoes are tender.
If the liquid has evaporated before the potatoes are ready, add in a bit more milk/soymilk.
When the potatoes are fully cooked, stir in the diced scallions.
Adjust seasoning if needed.
Remove from heat and set aside.
Fry or poach an egg.
Serve with bold stare.
Haha damn I guess not nearly enough people read my blog!! That looks bomb though I love bacon, egg, potato style breakfast. Never really been into pancakes and waffles and the sweet stuff, and cereal only tastes good at 10pm after a couple of puffs on a joint 😛

God how I wish you were closer…
We’d make for real good friends 😀
This breathes life into my soul. So damn scrumptious looking.
Yeeaah buddy!
It was pretty bomb, but I think I’ve had enough of all things Pancetta and Bacon for a while..
I’m tappin out.
1. You’re hilarious.
2. This looks delicious.
1. 😀 😀 Thanks Frankie!
2. Ugh my God this was fucking good.
3. I know there’s no 3 but please come back 🙂
4. Oh, I’m back all right
5. There’s no 5, but this is a virtual good time!
Ha! We get this from my parents when we go home to visit–my mom likes to give us chores to do under the reasoning that “we’re the cooking couple!” and it’s both cute and a little silly. 🙂
More things need to be served with a bold stare, but this is an excellent place to start. Killer eggs and hash!
Hahaha!
Thanks!
And it’s funny, I’m always volunteering to ‘help’ my parents out when it comes to cooking because it’s like…wait a min…I…gotta eat this.
So we getting it right the first time.
Unless I’m dead tired then I just ask for a salad 😀
Omg…if he reads your blog, does this mean he s gonna read this too!?! Hahahahaha!
Serve with a bold stare..ROFL!!!!
haha, yup!
Him and everyone else had BETTER read this.
I don’t wanna have to say it twice 😀
“Serve with bold stare”
Perfection. Everything about this article is perfection; I was actually lol’ing.
Hahaha! That’s awesome!
Thank you Ms. Brooks, thank you 😀

You are soooo entertaining! I enjoy so mucho reading your posts. Besides, you have delicious recipes!
Aw thank you Lety!
I’m always happy when you come to my blog!!
I hope you have a great weekend 🙂
<33

One can look at it from this angle…people REALLY do appreciate your cooking. But I do agree…sometimes it’s others that should cook for you. At least don’t expect a feast every single time, right? I love cooking for family and friends, but sometimes I’m either too busy or too tired. At least we’re appreciated 😉
Exactly!!
Thank you darlin!
I hope you have a great weekend!
xxxoo
I’ve mentioned before that my husband does pretty much all the cooking in our house. I shared your blog with him last week and sent him this post. He said if he had a blog it would probably read like yours. 😄
Such a great post. I thoroughly enjoyed it. You’re hilarious. Have a lovely weekend.

Lol, thanks Asa!
Good to know he and I are on the same page when it comes to these things 😀
I hope you two have a great weekend!!
xxooo
Awesome breakfast. YUM!
Indeed, it was pretty bomb 😀
xxooo
Really lovely looking and I would eat this any time of the day. Well done Dana.

Thanks lovey!
If you are ever in my neck of the woods, I would gladly make this for you 😀
Now I know you are a darling!!
Would love that. I will give you a shout when I visit the States in the summer.
Much Love, Mojisola
i would like to reach in and just eat directly from picture #3. just spoons of pancetta, pancetta grease, and onions. thanks.
Hahahaha, not ashamed to admit I actually did that lol
stand proud, i say.
Nothing worse than food blogging pressure. And nothing wrong with cooking someone something so they can ‘shut the hell up’. That is my general parenting style. These potatoes look awesome! Me hungry.
Ahmen to that👍😊😊
Wow, Dana – that cheered me up big time! Bring on the weekend 🙂
Then mission accomplished!
I have to admit though, I’m done with Pancetta for a while 🙂
This. Looks. So. Yummy. I just ate but all of a sudden I’m hungry again haha 🙂

Hahaha, I hate it when that happens lol
What a selfish bitch….LMAO! No, I get it. We have friends and family over and I always feel like they expect the food I blog about. It puts a lot of pressure on us to deliver. It isn’t like we can’t but being put on the spot. This looks awesome. What a lucky friend!
Exactly!
But we cook it for them anyway because it costs us nothing 🙂
Absolutely! 😀
Yummy!! 😍😍😍
😀 😀 🙂
That looks very very yummy. I’d definitely gatecrash your breakfasts. I hope your friend brought coffee around at least!
Nope…complete user…crying shame, isn’t it?
🙂
xxooo
So when is your show going to appear on the Food Network already? I would totally watch. You could cook your delicious meals while your friends watch and then you can kick them out before they get a chance to taste it! Talk about reality television! 🙂 LOL. As always, the food looks scrumptious!!!
Hahaha! That is such a genius idea. Literally the best idea I’ve heard all… Day.
Where do you live again? Are your sure we can’t hang out?
LOL…I’m in south FL!
Aw maaan!!
I Kkknnnnoooowww!!! BOO 😦
I know right?!!! I get the same reaction from people, wtf? Either way, what you made looks lovely and I’m sure is extremely delicious! Xoxo 🙂
oooh Darby, you made me this way you know.
Background story about Darby guys: Years ago, I used to invite to restaurants with me so she could discern the taste of whatever dish I was crazy about and then be make it for me (under some coaxing) later.
This looks so delicious, I love the poached egg on top and the seasoning is amazing! This makes me want to eat breakfast though it’s way past the hour for that in my time zone! 🙂 xo~ Lena
🙂 🙂
xoxox
I can sympathise with your mate. To be honest, after reading your blog of deliciousness, I think if I was ’round at your place I’d be like, “soooooo, what are you making?” too.
Someone needs to give you a book deal.
Awwah 😀
Bahaha. I love it. So fucking true about the expectations!!!
I will want that when I come over though 😜
You’d be welcome 😀
Ahh … Hahaha!! I get the same thing too.. People expect that I’m automatically going to cook for them because I have a blog. Sometimes i dont want to cook! Sometimes I want someone to cook for me! ❤️ awesome post my lovely friend..
Sometimes, we just wanna go eat someone else’s food. Food Blogger problems, right?
😀
xxxoo
Hash is a big thing over here and it looks like you nailed it! I’d be very flattered that a friend was reading my blog, never-the-less I do get where you’re coming from. This hash doesn’t help your case one bit. Not one bit.
Thank you and yes – I realize with every post I keep sinking myself.
Sigh..
Exactly, you keep sinking yourself… I’m gonna make you cook like a slave when you get here 😂 can’t wait like bit time!
You’re so cruel!
We need to get an email chain going to plan that though, on a serious note.
🙂
Such a funny little dialogue! I enjoyed reading it. The pictures are so beautiful. You can see all the tiny details and it looks like a fabulous painting of colors and textures. Lucky friend to get such a meal!

Thank you darlin for such a kind compliment!!
I’m, particularly pleased to have you here 😀
Hope you had a great day,
xxoo
You make such perfect stuff and photograph it like sacred things, all the while cussing and bah!-ing, that I’m totally at a loss.
The residual punk kid in me screams to smear some grease and sauce and grub-stuff around on the rims of the pristine icy white plates you photo, so it looks like something a living person actually puts their hands and mouth to and eats; and then and drag you all off to a Denny’s to have some uncoopted eggs & hash.
On the other hand, my grownup and respectable-passing/posing self, who, more or less, pays the bills and keeps me out of a color-coded jumpsuit, is just damn bone-scraping SICK with fucking respect and envy.
So, uh… don’t stop, um, please?
hahaha!!
Thank you…for your brutal honesty and hilarious take on being a grown up lol.
God to be a kid again…
LOL with both post like this how can friends NOT want you to cook for them when an opportunity arises?? #Salivating #iWantSome #iWasntHungryTheniReadYourBlog
Ahhh hahaha!!
Sometimes though….sometimes you gotta put the hammer down.
Like a firm parent, insert some damn authority.
😀
I died laughing when I read this post! Its so true, and my family is always like “i’ll take 3 orders of those cookies you posted, thanks” haha. And I’m like ummmm??! I am not a catering service, you’re supposed to try my recipes out yourself hahaha. But i love them so whatevs haha.
So anyway… Your potates looks unreal! 🙂 They are my favorite food ever.
I know right? You cook for anyway because it doesn’t cost you anything and you love ’em.
😀
Hey,
I totally feel you! Ever since I started blogging, there is no showing up nowhere anymore without dessert in my hands. People must think I live in candy land or something for they expect me to always have a sweet treat at hand (preferably the one I wrote about like 3 months ago).
I surrendered… There is no arguing with the sweet tooth in people – too dangerous! 😀
Have a baketastic baking day,
Your Backdirndl

Oooh, good point – when it comes to that sweet tooth, just surrender and do what they ask 😀
Thank you for stopping by beautiful!
This post cracked me up. I do have some friends that feel all entitled and shit to be fed at my place, but most of my friends are pretty awesome about it and grateful to be fed. I guess it helps that my friends also know I love dining out so it can go either way.
I can’t count the number of times I’ve heard, “Oh man, I’ve missed a Genie cooked meal…….”. Awkward silence and hinty eyes ensue.
Hahaha! Yes, we’re all familiar with that look
Normally replied with an eye roll
Fuckkkkkk yessssss
I know right?
hahaha!!
