The '''''xákuv''''', translated as "hash", is a diverse and ubiquitous class of dishes comprising sliced, diced, or chopped potato mixed with other ingredients and seasonings and {{wp|pan-fried together}}. Similar dishes exist in Levantia and the Levantine diaspora, where they are considered a breakfast item. In Kiravia, however, there are ''xákuv'' fit for all meals of the day. A simple ''xákuv'' includes - in addition to the potato base - diced vegetables (onions, leeks, scallions, and peppers being the most common) and mushrooms, meat or fish, and seasonings (salt, at a minimum). However, ''xákuv'' recipes can be much more complex, incorporating multiple protein sources and additional ingredients such as eggs, congealed grain porridge, sauces, and even melted cheese. Traditionally, as with soups and stews, homemade hashes were (and are) often eclectic, making use of disparate scraps and leftovers.
The official territorial dish of [[Seváronsa]] is a "Polynesian hash" that incorporates pork and pineapple as primary ingredients. Similar tropical variations on ''xákuv'' are widely served in [[Sarolasta]] and [[Saint Kennera]]-[[Pribraltar]].
[[Valēka#Cantons|Canova]] Bag - Coarse hash, diced fried chicken (usually breaded), chili powder, fried onions, hot green chilis.<br>
Metrea Classic - Medium hash, diced or ground bacon, diced avocado and tomato, molten {{wp|pepper jack|Metrea jack}}.<br>
{{wp|Potatoes O'Brien|Æonara Classic}} - Fine or medium hash, bell peppers, and onions.<br>
Kilikas White - Fine hash, {{wp|Whitefish (fisheries term)|whitefish}}, diced hard-boiled egg, coarse sea salt.<br>
As ''xákuv'' is easy to prepare and keep warm for extended periods, it has been peddled by {{wp|street vendors}} for millennia. Modern ''xákuv'' carts and stationary ''xákuv'' buffets offer a suite of common hot ingredients that can be stirred into the hash according to the customer's taste. Pre-mixed and even pre-cooked canned hashes can now be bought in supermarkets.
