💡 Pro Tips
- ✓If you don't have leftover Kalua pig or turkey, you can roast a turkey breast with Hawaiian sea salt and liquid smoke until tender and shred it.
- ✓For a crispier hash, spread it in a single layer in the skillet and let it brown without stirring too much.
- ✓Adjust the amount of liquid smoke to your preference for smokiness.
