Generally speaking, a hash is made from diced potatoes with leftover meats. I made mine with leftover braised chicken, barbecue sauce, sweet potatoes, and thyme. It’s great for breakfast or with salad and a dollop of crème fraîche for lunch. Because barbecue sauce is added to the mixture, it is important to squeeze the moisture out of the potatoes before mixing them with the other ingredients. 
For the barbecue sauce, use your favorite or see below for a quick, easy recipe.

Most etymologists believe that barbecue derives from the word barabicu found in the language of the Taíno people of the Caribbean and the Timucua of Florida, and entered European languages in the form barbacoa. The word translates as “sacred fire pit.”‘
