Smoked bacon hash with a fried duck egg
by
A perfect brunch dish from Adam Gray, this is a creative reinvention of a classic bacon and egg breakfast. A rustic potato hash is lifted with the addition of smoked bacon and a deliciously rich fried duck egg, and as you can make the hash well in advance, it really is ideal for a lazy weekend morning.
