years ago, my mother made a sweet/sour recipe of potatoes and leftover pot roast.  It was like a hash.  Anyone have something like this?

Making a basic skillet hash is easy once you figure out what your mother used as the sweet and sour ingredients.

My mom is gone, so I don't know what her recipe was.

Sweet and sour potatoes is a German recipe that is made with equal amounts of sugar and vinegar added to the potatoes, along with bacon.

 

Alternatively, the pot roast may be a sweet and sour pot roast (sauerbraten), another German recipe.  

Google Southern Beef Hash for a recipe using leftover pot roast and potatoes.  Add some sugar and vinegar and, voila.

 

The most effective tool an evil being can use against us is our own capacity to judge others more harshly than we judge ourselves.

German Potato Salad is warm and has a sweet and sour sauce.  That could serve as a base, cutting the potatoes in a smaller dice, and then adding your diced leftover pot roast to it.

Sorry, @River Song .  I didn't see your post before I typed mine.

@River Song :  That sounds really good and I can't wait to try it.
