Carrot Cumin Breakfast Hash
Carrot adds sweetness to a potato hash with eggs cooked in gaps in the pan. It suits a morning when there is time to sit down to a warm plate. Small, even cubes help the roots soften together. Let the steaming water evaporate before browning, then lower the heat as the eggs cook under the lid.
