Hash is what leftovers dream to be. It's what I like eating more than the original meals in the first place.
For every big roast, there's a hash you can whip up from it. Keep this list handy for those times when you have a full-to-the-gill fridge and a house of hungry guests to feed. Some hash recipes are vegetarian. Use up all of that food in meals that are equally well-suited for breakfast, lunch, or dinner.
You can tweak these recipes based on what you have on hand: swap roast beef for shredded turkey, or throw in a handful of baby spinach. Add a few spoonfuls of gravy at the end of cooking for extra flavor and richness, almost like a glaze. Hash is friendly that way.
Roast Beef Hash
This is a classic roast beef hash with finely minced roast beef, cooked potatoes, and onions. It was once traditional to grind the ingredients in a hand-cranked meat grinder, but a knife and patience (or artful pulsing in a food processor) do the job just as well. Serve with ketchup, of course!
Ham and Potato Hash
A pinch of thyme and a diced green pepper add some flair and color to this wonderfully homely hash. You can start with raw potatoes or dice up leftover cooked ones.
Corned Beef Hash
A diner classic that you can embrace at home. It's also way less greasy that way. If you don't want to wait until after your annual St. Patrick's Day corned beef and cabbage, but some thickly sliced corned beef from the deli counter.
Sweet Potato Hash Browns
If you bought a big bag of sweet potatoes and only used a few of them in your sweet potato casserole, make a batch of these sweet potato hash browns to finish them off. They're a colorful and tasty change of pace from the regular potato hash browns.
Red Flannel Hash
"Red flannel hash is just corned beef hash with the addition of beets," writes the author, Elise Bauer. "It's traditionally made in New England for breakfast, with leftovers from a boiled dinner the night before, and gets its name from the somewhat obvious similarity of its colors to red flannel plaid cloth."
Salmon Hash
This recipe is for smoked salmon hash, but you can use any kind of cooked salmon. It's great to make the night after a party. I make extra salmon when we have it as a main for a weeknight dinner so I can whip this up a day or two later.
Bubble and Squeak
In the U.K., bubble and squeak is a traditional meal on Boxing Day, the day after Christmas, when you fry up a cake of diced-up bits of potatoes and veg served with the previous evening's roast. It's also made all year long with the leftovers from a Sunday roast. Sometimes it's in one big cake; for easier handling, you can make it in multiple smaller ones instead.
German Farmer's Breakfast
Also known as bauernfruhstuck, this meal may not be pretty to look at, but it's quick to make and sticks to your ribs. Imagine ham and potato hash with eggs scrambled into it and you've got the idea.
Broccoli Hash
If you have tired green veg like broccoli, cabbage, or Brussels sprouts in your crisper, here's a fine way to put it to good use. Chop up that broccoli (including the stem) and throw it in a skillet until it gets lightly browned. I also add sliced kale stems and minced cauliflower cores to this. It's a side that goes with virtually anything!
Easy Pork Fried Rice
Fried rice is just hash based around rice instead of potatoes. Chop up leftover pork roast and use it instead of the raw pork this recipe calls for. Or make it with leftover turkey! Chop up any leftover cooked vegetables you have, too. It's almost like a meal kit that magically appears in your fridge.
