Sweet Potato, Beef & Spinach Hash with Miso

by Matt Kennard

Save

The potatoes roast in the oven while the beef browns on the stove, and everything comes together in the skillet at the end. Miso and rice wine vinegar make it savory and bright, so it doesn't just taste sweet.

Notes

  • Salt: Blanco and miso both carry salt, so taste at the end before adding any. If it tastes flat, add a little more vinegar instead.
  • Why it works: cooking each part where it does best keeps the potatoes from going mushy and the beef from turning gray.
  • To try next time: sesame oil, toasted sesame seeds or chili crisp to finish, or a jammy egg on top.
  • GF check: miso and Blanco labels.

Ingredients

3 to 4

Method

  1. Roast the potatoes (25 to 30 min). Heat the oven to 425 to 450°F. Toss the potatoes with oil, light salt, pepper and garlic. Spread them on a sheet pan with space between the pieces, using two pans if needed so they don't steam. Roast, flipping once halfway, until the edges are browned.

  2. Brown the beef. While the potatoes roast, heat a skillet until it's hot. Press the beef into one flat layer and leave it for 3 to 4 minutes to get a crust, then break it up. Season with a light pinch of salt, Blanco, onion and garlic powder, pepper and paprika. Keep the salt low, since Blanco and miso both add more.

  3. Garlic and jalapeño (1 min). Leave the beef in the pan. Add the garlic and jalapeño and cook until fragrant, without letting the garlic burn.

  4. Wilt the spinach. On low heat, add the spinach in handfuls and toss it in the beef fat until it just collapses.

  5. Miso and vinegar. Whisk the miso into the rice wine vinegar so it doesn't clump. Stir it in on low heat.

  6. Fold in the potatoes (30 sec). Toss the roasted potatoes in quickly and gently, so they pick up the sauce but stay crisp. Top with green onion and serve right away.
