Vegan Potato Hash In 30 Minutes

Vegan potato hash is the perfect dinner for those nights where you just can’t be bothered to cook properly! It’s super quick to make (just 30 minutes) and needs just 8 ingredients. And it feels really comforting, even though it’s packed full of veg and actually pretty healthy (ish)!

Give it a go if you fancy a one pot meal with minimal effort and minimal washing up. It’s also a great way to use up leftover veggies if you’ve had a roast, or even for leftover roast dinner or Christmas dinner.

♻️ This is a zero waste recipe

We love making this vegan hash as a way to use up leftover veggies and stop them from going to waste. 

You don’t have to stick to the ingredients we’ve suggested, you can substitute for whatever you happen to have in the fridge. Some really good swaps include:

• Switch out the leeks for onion.
• Use cauliflower, carrots or mushrooms in place of the broccoli and sprouts.
• Sweet potato or butternut squash instead of potato.

When we’re making vegan potato hash we always leave the skins on the potatoes, because the skins are the best bit! Plus, you’ll be doing your bit to prevent waste by not throwing them away.

If you don’t want to include the skins in your meal that’s cool, just be sure to bake them to make delicious homemade crisps.

🥕 What to serve with it

This vegan hash is yummy on it’s own, but you can also pair it with other things to make it into an even more substantial meal.

Swede mash

Try serving your vegan potato hash sitting on top of a bed of delicious, creamy swede mash. This recipe is really simple, you can make it in 25 minutes and it only has two ingredients - what’s not to love?

Sage and onion stuffing balls

For that great roast dinner feeling, try serving your vegan hash up with a side of yummy sage and onion stuffing balls. The combination of stuffing and vegetables is the best! Our stuffing balls are also really simple to make, and you can make them gluten free by substituting breadcrumbs for a gluten free alternative.

Gravy

Anything with potato in it needs some gravy doesn’t it? We really like this vegan gravy recipe because it has a lovely rich flavour from using marmite and nutritional yeast. Serve up your vegan potato hash with a generous helping of gravy for a really hearty dinner experience.

📋Ingredients

Feel free to switch out any of these ingredients when making your vegan hash, so that you can use up whatever you have lying around. Our suggested ingredients are:

• Oil (for frying).
• Potatoes. You can either use fresh potatoes or leftover roasties if you have it. Chop them quite small.
• Vegan chicken. Alternatively you can use sausages, seitan roast or whatever other meat replacement you happen to have on hand.
• Broccoli.
• Sprouts.
• Dijon mustard. You can sub this out for vegan horseradish sauce if you prefer.
• Dried thyme. Fresh thyme also works really well if you have it.

🔪 Instructions

When making vegan potato hash, make sure you give your potatoes enough time to cook through, as they will take longer than everything else.

1. First chop your potatoes up in small pieces. This will ensure that they cook quickly - you don’t want to end up with crunchy, half cooked potatoes!
2. Chop up the rest of your veg into bite sized pieces.
3. Add a splash of oil to a wok or saute pan and allow it to warm up.
4. Pop your potatoes into the pan, and cook them on high for 10 minutes.
5. Add in the leeks and thyme, and cook for another few minutes.
6. Chuck in your vegan chicken (or other vegan meat substitute), broccoli and sprouts. Cook for 10 minutes more.
7. Put in the dijon mustard, and stir it through so that everything gets nicely coated.
8. Season with salt and pepper.

And that’s it! Serve up this awesome vegan potato hash with lashings of vegan gravy and whatever side dishes you fancy, and enjoy. You could even have extra dijon mustard for serving, or a bit of English mustard, like me. Dan thinks this is weird, but I like it!

Sauté pan with lid

If you invest in a really good wok or sauté pan, you’ll honestly wonder how you ever did without it! A good pan will distribute the heat evenly and ensure that all of your food heats up at the same rate. Not only this, but it will mean that you actually have the room to stir your vegan hash as it cooks.

Knife Set

Chopping knife

We can’t say often enough how important it is that you get hold of a really good chopping knife. A good sharp knife will mean that you won’t have to work as hard when you’re chopping veg, especially really tough fibrous veg like butternut squash. Plus it will actually mean that you are less likely to cut yourself, because the knife will go straight through the veg rather than potentially sliding off and catching your fingers.

Bamboo Chopping Board

Bamboo chopping board

We think that bamboo chopping boards are the best! Not only are they much more sustainable than other materials, they are also super strong and long lasting. Plus there is some evidence to suggest that they have antibacterial properties, which is great news in the kitchen.
