Why you have to try this recipe
A very popular dish here in the US is corned beef hash. But what is hash? Hash is a dish that includes chopped up meat, potatoes and onions fried in a cast iron skillet.
Hash is a great way to use up leftovers, whether it is corned beef or pulled pork. Salty corned beef hash is more common, of course, but the same concept is used for this pulled pork hash – except it’s been kicked up a few notches.
You can heat the meat up gently or get the meat nice and crispy. Never heard of enjoying pulled pork for breakfast? Well, maybe you’re a fan of breakfast for dinner?
And honestly, who says eggs can only be enjoyed in the morning? Traditionally, hash has no eggs in it. But, I don’t like plain hash.
I like to add more to mix. So this pulled pork hash also includes tomatoes, spinach, garlic and cilantro. It is topped with eggs and finished with fresh avocado. You do not have to include the eggs if you don’t want to, so feel free to omit them if you want in this recipe.
Ingredients you need
Want to save this recipe?
- Shredded pork: You should use shredded pork that does not have any sauces on it, unless you are okay with that flavor to be in your dish.
- Potatoes: You can use russet potatoes or even the waxy red or yellow potatoes.
- Onions: You use regular old brown onions, or red onions or even green onions (white and green parts).
- Tomatoes: Any tomatoes work from big fat heirloom to a handful of grape tomatoes.
- Garlic: If you do not have fresh garlic, you can use garlic powder.
- Fresh spinach: I love adding some healthy greens wherever I can. You can also use chard, kale, collard greens or skip it altogether.
- Fresh cilantro: Nothing beats the flavor of fresh cilantro. If you are not a fan, use parsley or green onions.
- Eggs: You can use any size eggs you want here.
- Pantry staples: Extra virgin olive oil, kosher salt and pepper.
- Garnish: You can finish this has with toppings like avocados, fresh cilantro, green onions, salsa, hot sauce and lime wedges.
Step-by-step directions
- Cook the potatoes. A cast iron skillet works great for hash making. Start by cooking the potatoes, then add onions.
- Add veggies. Stir in the tomatoes, spinach and garlic.
- Add pork. Reduce to medium heat then add the pork. If you like your pork crispy, cook until crispy otherwise just cook until warmed.
- Add eggs. Poke six 1-inch holes in the hash and break 1 egg into each hole. Cook over low heat until eggs are cooked to desired doneness.
- Garnish. Remove from heat and top with avocado and garnish with cilantro. Serve with lime wedges and hot sauce (optional).
Recipe tips and FAQs
You could enjoy this meal just like this or serve with corn or flour tortillas. Wrap it all up in a large tortilla and make a pulled pork breakfast burrito. You could even enjoy this with some fun tortilla chips.
Another great breakfast option you should try is my pulled pork quiche!
If you are making pulled pork, you have several choices in meat cuts. The most common choice is the pork shoulder. It is the lower part of the pork shoulder and includes part of the front leg quarter.
Another popular cut is the Boston butt, which is from the high part of the pig’s shoulder, above the shoulder blade. It has a lot of marbled fat, making it ideal for the grill and it includes part of the picnic shoulder. The picnic shoulder, or picnic ham, is a shoulder cut with the shank attached. This cut is cheaper than the other cuts because it requires less work butchering it, and it contains more bone.

Loved the hash! I have tons of leftover pork and used a little over a cup. I boiled the potato cubes first, and then fried them. I put in a half of a jalapeño pepper, (no seeds) , mushrooms and some red bell pepper as well. It was delicious and my family would like to eat it again! Thank you!
Hi Betsy,
Sounds like a fabulous meal! So glad everyone liked it.
Thank you for sharing-

Fantastic! I made a few changes though. Added red bell pepper and a red jalapeno. I ended up using a little over a cup of meat. Right tasty! We haave lots of frozen pulled pork and hope to use this recipe again!
