Ingredients:

• 2 medium sweet potatoes, peeled and diced
• 1 bell pepper (red, yellow, or green), diced
• ½ red onion, diced
• 2 cloves garlic, minced
• 1 tbsp olive oil or butter
• ½ tsp smoked paprika
• ½ tsp ground cumin
• ½ tsp salt (adjust to taste)
• ¼ tsp black pepper
• 2-4 eggs (depending on servings)
• 1 tbsp chopped fresh parsley or cilantro (for garnish)

Instructions:

1. Roast the Sweet Potatoes:
   • Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C).
   • Toss the diced sweet potatoes with olive oil, paprika, cumin, salt, and black pepper on a baking sheet.
   • Spread them out evenly and roast for 20-25 minutes, stirring halfway through, until they are tender and slightly crispy.
2. Sauté the Vegetables:
   • In a large skillet over medium heat, add a little olive oil or butter.
   • Sauté the onion, bell pepper, and garlic for about 3-4 minutes until softened.
   • Add the roasted sweet potatoes to the skillet and mix everything well.
3. Cook the Eggs:
   • Make small wells in the hash and crack an egg into each well.
   • Cover the pan and let the eggs cook for 3-5 minutes, or until the whites are set but the yolks remain runny.
4. Garnish & Serve:
   • Sprinkle with fresh parsley or cilantro.
   • Serve immediately with hot sauce, avocado slices, or crumbled feta (optional).

Tips for the Best Sweet Potato Hash:

• Dice Evenly: Cut sweet potatoes into small, uniform cubes to ensure even cooking and crispy edges.
• Use a Cast-Iron Skillet: A well-heated cast-iron pan helps achieve that perfect crispy texture.
• Pre-Cook for Speed: Parboiling or microwaving the sweet potatoes for a few minutes before frying can speed up the process.
• Season Well: A mix of smoked paprika, garlic powder, cumin, or chili flakes enhances the flavor.
• Egg Perfection: Make small wells in the hash and crack the eggs directly into the pan. Cover and cook until the whites are set but the yolks remain runny.
• Add Extras: Try onions, bell peppers, spinach, sausage, or cheese for variety.

Enjoy your meal!
