Tips:
- To save time, use pre-cooked potatoes and beets. For the potatoes, you can use leftover mashed potatoes or roasted potatoes. For the beets, you can use canned or jarred pickled beets.
- If you don't have any pickled beets, you can make your own. Simply slice some beets and place them in a jar with vinegar, sugar, and spices. Let them sit for at least 24 hours before using.
- Be sure to use a heavy-bottomed skillet for cooking the hash. This will help to prevent the food from sticking.
- Cook the hash over medium heat. This will help to ensure that the food cooks evenly.
- Don't overcrowd the skillet. If you do, the food will not cook evenly.
- Serve the hash immediately with a fried or poached egg, and a dollop of sour cream.
