Sweet Potato Hash with Eggs:

Sweet potato hash with eggs is a delicious, hearty, and nutritious meal perfect for breakfast, brunch, or even dinner! The natural sweetness of the potatoes pairs beautifully with savory seasonings, crispy edges, and creamy, runny eggs. It’s a one-pan dish that’s easy to customize with your favorite vegetables, proteins, or spices. Plus, it’s packed with fiber, vitamins, and protein to keep you energized throughout the day.

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.
