Hash, the delicious, age-old meal of chopped, crispy vegetables, is, at its heart, a celebration of the potato. In spring, there’s a special kind of potato available, which we’re using here to delicious effect. New potatoes are simply potatoes harvested early, while still small, tender and delicately sweet. We’re cooking them with asparagus, collard greens and red onion for an elegant, seasonal hash served under crispy, pan-seared salmon fillets.
