Introduction

Very Filling and Flavorful Alternative to Hash. Good with a bit of turkey bacon and a low sodium V8 for the start of the day. This can, in theory be doubled to make patties. I would suggest using as little broth as you need if doing that. Very Filling and Flavorful Alternative to Hash. Good with a bit of turkey bacon and a low sodium V8 for the start of the day.

    I added a little spinach to saute with my onions and garlic to give this recipe a little color, veggie, and extra fiber. It tasted great with the sage too. - 7/19/12

    Great recipe, very easy to make and very filling. I served topped with corn and salsa for a taste reminiscent of refried beans. - 7/17/10

    I really like this recipe. Simple to throw together with whats in the pantry and SURPRISINGLY good. I did use parsley instead of cilantro and beef broth instead of vegetable because I didn't have any of those original ingredients. I wasn't expecting it to be a tad sweet which was nice. - 1/2/10
