Ingredients
Scale
Vegetables
- 2 large sweet potatoes (peeled and diced, ~4 cups)
- 1 medium onion (finely chopped)
- 1 red or green bell pepper (diced)
Seasonings and Oil
- 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
- Prepare Ingredients: Peel and dice the sweet potatoes into ½-inch cubes for even cooking. Chop the onion and bell pepper into small pieces.
- Cook the Sweet Potatoes: Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the diced sweet potatoes, sprinkle with smoked paprika, garlic powder, salt, and pepper, and stir well to coat. Cook for 10–12 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the sweet potatoes are golden brown and tender.
- Add Vegetables: Push the sweet potatoes to one side of the skillet. Add the remaining tablespoon of olive oil, then toss in the onion and bell pepper. Cook for 5–7 minutes until the vegetables are soft and slightly caramelized.
- Combine and Create Egg Wells: Mix the vegetables and sweet potatoes together in the skillet. Use a spoon to create four small wells in the hash mixture.
- 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, cook longer.
- Garnish and Serve: Remove from heat and sprinkle with chopped parsley. Serve immediately with optional garnishes like avocado slices or hot sauce.
Notes
- You can swap olive oil for avocado oil for a milder flavor and higher smoke point.
- Adjust the cooking time of the eggs to your preferred doneness.
- For a spicier dish, add chili flakes or cayenne pepper along with the smoked paprika.
- Use sweet potatoes with firm flesh to ensure cubes hold shape during cooking.
- Leftover hash can be refrigerated and reheated in a skillet or microwave.
