The answer is dxe6# en passant. However, you did not specify that en passant was legal. Also, white has two pairs of doubled pawns, which means white has made at least two captures. But black has all pieces and 7 pawns, so white could only have made one capture. Therefore, this position is illegal.
Hardest Checkmate in 1

Qf6+ is a mate in 4.
1. Qf6+ Kxh6 2. Qh4+ Kg7 3. Rbxf7+ Kh8 4. Qxh7
The best I can see is mate in 2.
1. Rfxf7+ Kh8 2. Rxh7#

The hardest mate in 1? Really?

(And @chiefonion changed his post after I started mine.)
It is probably dxe6# although it didn't mention that black's last move was e5. It's a good en-passant puzzle by the way. I like it.

It's a pity the given starting position is illegal to begin with.
Illegal how?
2 sets of doubled pawns for white. 1 captured pawn and nothing more for each side.
