Prepare the potatoes: Peel and dice the russet potatoes into 1/2-inch cubes. Rinse them thoroughly under cold water to remove excess starch, then pat them very dry with paper towels. This step is crucial for crispy potatoes.

Cook the potatoes: Heat 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil in a large, heavy-bottomed skillet or cast iron pan over medium-high heat. Add the dried potatoes in a single layer if possible. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the potatoes are golden brown and tender, about 15 to 20 minutes. Remove the cooked potatoes from the skillet and set them aside in a large bowl.

Cook the meats: In the same skillet, add the breakfast sausage (if using links, remove casings first) and ground beef. Break up the meat with a spoon and cook over medium-high heat until browned and no longer pink, about 8 to 10 minutes. Drain off any excess grease from the skillet and transfer the cooked meat to the bowl with the potatoes.

Sauté the aromatics: Add the remaining 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil to the skillet. Add the chopped yellow onion and diced carrots. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the onion is softened and translucent, about 5 to 7 minutes. Add the minced garlic and cook for another 1 minute until fragrant.

Combine and season: Return the cooked potatoes and meat mixture to the skillet with the sautéed vegetables. Stir well to combine all ingredients. Season the hash with salt, black pepper, and paprika. Continue to cook for another 5 minutes, stirring occasionally, to allow the flavors to meld and the hash to heat through completely.

Serve: Taste the hash and adjust seasoning as needed. Garnish generously with fresh chopped parsley before serving hot. This hash is excellent on its own or topped with a fried egg.
