Breakfast hash is a longstanding hit with diners, thanks to a hearty, comforting base of griddled, seasoned potatoes. For today’s menu developers, the appeal in menuing hash goes beyond its malleability. Chefs can take it in so many different directions, changing out toppings, sauces and finishes. Over the last few years, it’s also provided operational advantages in the off-premise space, thanks to its ability to hold heat while maintaining its integrity.

Here, we take a modern approach to this familiar breakfast dish, serving up three globally flavored hash dishes and moving three American classics to another level. Each build features trend-forward flavor combinations with high-impact ingredients that are both distinctive and unexpected.
