Step 1

Put the Yukon Gold and sweet potatoes and the garlic in a medium pot and add water to cover. Bring to a boil, add 2 tablespoons of salt and cook until the potatoes are just fork tender, about 4 minutes. Drain and allow to dry on a clean kitchen towel.

Step 2

Heat a large cast-iron skillet over medium-high heat. Add the schmaltz and heat until melted and shimmering. Add the apple and onion and cook, stirring frequently, until slightly softened, about 1 minute. Add the potatoes, brisket, beets and hot pepper. Season with a big pinch of salt and several grinds of black pepper and stir to combine. Spread evenly in the skillet and cook undisturbed until browned on the bottom, about 2 minutes.

Step 3

Flip the pieces and repeat this process to cook until browned all over, about 8 minutes. Resist the urge to stir during each 2-minute interval so the hash can crisp throughout. Remove from the heat, cover and set aside.

Step 4

Heat a large nonstick skillet heat over medium-high heat. Add the olive oil and swirl to coat the pan. Crack in the eggs and sprinkle each with a pinch of salt. Cook until the whites are almost set, then tip the pan slightly away from you and use a large spoon to baste the tops with some hot oil. Cook until crisp around the edges and the yolks are the desired doneness, 2 to 4 minutes.

Step 5

Divide the hash among 4 bowls and top each with a crispy fried egg. Serve with hot sauce.
