Apple Potato Breakfast Pan
Apple joins potatoes and onion late in this breakfast pan, adding sweetness without being cooked down into sauce. It suits a morning when you want a vegetable-and-fruit skillet alongside the rest of breakfast. Give the potato cubes their covered head start, then let them brown before adding the apple. Turn gently to preserve some of those browned surfaces.

Storage
Keep perishable ingredients refrigerated according to their labels. Serve promptly. Chill cooked leftovers promptly in shallow covered portions and consult the official storage chart for the food type.
For perishable foods and leftovers, U.S. FDA guidance calls for prompt refrigeration, no more than two hours at room temperature (one hour above 32°C/90°F), and a refrigerator at or below 4°C/40°F. Follow the product label and local guidance. Smell and appearance alone cannot establish safety.
FDA handling and storage conditions
Ingredient substitution
Keep the potato and apple as separate components. Replacing potato with more apple removes starch and changes browning; it is not an equal-weight breakfast hash.
