Ingredients You’ll Need
Here’s everything you’ll need to create this dish. Most of these items are pantry staples, so you might already have some on hand:
- 2 medium sweet potatoes, peeled and diced into small cubes
- 1 small onion, finely chopped (red or yellow works well)
- 1 bell pepper, diced (any color—red, yellow, or green)
- 2 tablespoons olive oil (or butter, if preferred)
- 1 teaspoon smoked paprika (optional, for extra depth of flavor)
- 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1/2 teaspoon ground cumin
- Salt and black pepper, to taste
- 4 large eggs (or as many as you want to serve)
- Fresh parsley or cilantro, chopped, for garnish
- Optional toppings or mix-ins:
- Diced avocado
- Hot sauce
- Shredded cheese
- Crumbled bacon or sausage
Step-by-Step Instructions
1. Prep Your Ingredients
Before you start cooking, make sure everything is ready to go. Peel and dice the sweet potatoes into small cubes (around 1/2-inch) so they’ll cook evenly. Slice the onion and bell pepper, and gather your spices and topping options.
2. Cook the Sweet Potatoes
Heat a large skillet over medium heat, and add the olive oil. Once the oil is hot, toss in the diced sweet potatoes. Stir to coat them in the oil and season with a pinch of salt and black pepper. Cover the skillet with a lid and cook for about 10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the potatoes begin to soften.
3. Sauté the Vegetables
Push the sweet potatoes to one side of the skillet and add the chopped onion and diced bell pepper to the other side. Add a little more oil if needed. Sauté the veggies for about 5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until they’re tender and slightly caramelized.
4. Season and Combine
Sprinkle the smoked paprika, garlic powder, and cumin over the sweet potatoes and veggie mix. Stir everything together, allowing the flavors to combine. Cook for another 2-3 minutes to get a slight crisp on the potatoes.
5. Make Space for the Eggs
Use a spoon to create small wells or spaces in the hash mixture. Crack an egg into each well. Cover the skillet with a lid and reduce the heat slightly. Cook until the egg whites are set but the yolks are still runny, about 4-5 minutes. If you prefer firmer yolks, cook a little longer.
6. Garnish and Serve
Remove the skillet from the heat and sprinkle chopped parsley or cilantro on top. Serve the sweet potato hash straight from the skillet for a rustic, family-style meal. Add your favorite toppings, like creamy avocado slices or a dash of hot sauce, for an extra pop of flavor.
Tips for Customization and Serving
- Protein Boost: Add cooked and crumbled sausage, bacon, or even tofu for additional protein.
- Spicy Kick: Throw in some diced jalapeños or a drizzle of sriracha to bring on the heat.
- Cheesy Goodness: Sprinkle shredded cheddar, feta, or goat cheese over the hash during the last minute of cooking.
- Meal Prep-Friendly: You can make the sweet potato hash (minus the eggs) in advance. Just reheat in the skillet and add eggs when ready to serve.
