Ingredients
  

For the Hash
  • 2 lbs sweet potatoes about 3 medium, peeled and diced into ½-inch cubes
  • 2 tbsp olive oil
  • 1 medium onion diced
  • 1 red bell pepper diced
  • 3 cloves garlic minced
  • 1 tsp smoked paprika
  • 1 tsp ground cumin
  • 1/2 tsp salt or to taste
  • 1/4 tsp black pepper or to taste
  • 4 large eggs
  • Optional Garnish: fresh parsley, avocado, hot sauce

Equipment

  • 1 Large Skillet (12-inch cast iron recommended)
  • 1 Knife and Cutting Board

Method
 

  1. Heat olive oil in a large cast-iron skillet over medium-high heat. Add the diced onion and bell pepper and cook until softened, about 5-7 minutes. Add minced garlic and cook for one more minute until fragrant.
  2. Add the diced sweet potatoes to the skillet. Stir to combine, then spread into an even layer. Cook for 15-20 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the potatoes are tender and nicely browned. Don't stir too often to allow them to get crispy.
  3. Sprinkle the smoked paprika, cumin, salt, and pepper over the hash. Stir well to combine everything.
  4. Using a spoon, create four wells in the hash. Crack an egg into each well. Reduce heat to medium-low, cover the skillet, and cook for 5-8 minutes, or until the egg whites are set and the yolks are cooked to your preference.
  5. Remove from heat and garnish with fresh parsley, sliced avocado, and a dash of hot sauce if desired. Serve immediately.

Notes

For extra crispy potatoes, ensure they are in a single layer and avoid stirring them too frequently.
This recipe is great for meal prep; simply store the hash without the eggs and cook them fresh before serving.
