Notes
How to Store and Reheat Breakfast Hash
Short-Term Storage (Up to 3 Days):Store any leftover hash in an airtight container in the fridge. To reheat, warm it in a pan over medium heat with a splash of olive oil until heated through. Long-Term Storage (Up to 1 Month):
You can freeze the hash in a sealed container. When ready to eat, thaw overnight in the fridge and reheat in a frying pan or oven (180°C/350°F) for the best texture. Tip: It’s best to fry fresh eggs when serving rather than freezing them with the hash, as eggs don’t reheat well.
