Ingredients

Scale

Sweet Potato Hash

  • 2 large sweet potatoes peeled and diced (~4 cups)
  • 1 medium onion finely chopped
  • 1 red or green bell pepper diced
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil or avocado oil
  • 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
  • ½ teaspoon garlic powder
  • Salt and pepper to taste

Eggs

  • 4 large eggs

Optional Garnishes

  • Fresh parsley, chopped
  • Avocado slices
  • Hot sauce

Instructions

  1. Prepare Ingredients: Peel and dice the sweet potatoes into ½-inch cubes for even cooking. Chop the onion and bell pepper into small pieces to ensure they cook evenly and blend well with the sweet potatoes.
  2. Cook the Sweet Potatoes: Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the diced sweet potatoes and sprinkle them with smoked paprika, garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Stir well to coat all pieces and cook for 10–12 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the sweet potatoes are golden brown and tender.
  3. Add Vegetables: Push the cooked sweet potatoes to one side of the skillet. Add the remaining tablespoon of olive oil, then add the chopped onion and bell pepper. Cook for 5–7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the vegetables soften and become slightly caramelized.
  4. Combine and Create Egg Wells: Mix the vegetables and sweet potatoes together thoroughly in the skillet. Use a spoon to create four small wells in the hash mixture, each large enough to hold one egg.
  5. Cook the Eggs: Crack an egg into each well. Cover the skillet with a lid and reduce the heat to low. Cook for 3–5 minutes, or until the egg whites are set but the yolks remain runny. For firmer yolks, continue cooking a bit longer to your desired doneness.
  6. Garnish and Serve: Remove the skillet from heat and sprinkle the hash with chopped fresh parsley. Serve immediately, garnished with optional avocado slices and a drizzle of hot sauce if desired for extra flavor and creaminess.

Notes

  • Use a non-stick or cast-iron skillet for best results and easier cleanup.
  • To save time, sweet potatoes can be diced the night before and stored in cold water in the fridge to prevent browning.
  • Adjust the amount of smoked paprika and garlic powder to match your preferred spice level.
  • For a gluten-free version, ensure that the hot sauce used as garnish is gluten-free.
  • This dish can be made vegan by substituting eggs with tofu scramble or plant-based egg alternatives.
