Smoked Mackerel & Leek Hash with Horseradish

Recipe Description

This Smoked Mackerel & Leek Hash with Horseradish is a delicious alternative savory breakfast. I love to make this in the week after Christmas when I am tired of turkey and craving some strong flavors. In steps oily and slightly smoky mackerel and strong fiery horse radish. This is a flavor combination that shouldn’t work but somehow does! 

It couldn’t be easier to prep either. Simply cook some new potatoes in the microwave. While the potatoes cook, cook some leeks in a frying pan. Add the cooked potatoes to the pan and crisp them in the hot oil. Flake in the mackerel. Break four eggs into the pan and cover with a lid until they are cooked. Serve with horseradish on the side. 

To make Smoked Mackerel & Leek Hash with Horseradish, you will need the following ingredients:

I made this Smoked Mackerel & Leek Hash last week after the holiday feasts. It was quick to prepare and the flavors exploded in my mouth. The horseradish gave it a nice kick! My husband loved it even more than turkey leftovers.

I used olive oil instead of vegetable oil and added some lemon juice to this too.
