by

🛒 Ingredients

  • 🍠 2 medium sweet potatoes, peeled and diced into small cubes
  • 🧅 1 small onion, finely chopped
  • 🌶️ 1/2 red bell pepper, diced
  • 🥓 2 slices of bacon or 1/4 cup diced sausage (optional)
  • 🥄 2 tbsp olive oil
  • 🧂 Salt and pepper to taste
  • 🌿 1/2 tsp smoked paprika or cumin
  • 🥚 2–4 large eggs
  • 🌱 Optional toppings: Fresh parsley, avocado slices, or hot sauce

🍳 Instructions

  1. Prepare the Sweet Potatoes:
    • Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the diced sweet potatoes and cook for 5–7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until they start to soften.
  2. Add the Veggies:
    • Stir in the chopped onion and red bell pepper. Cook for another 5 minutes, or until the vegetables are tender and slightly caramelized.
  3. Optional Protein:
    • If using bacon or sausage, cook it in a separate pan until crispy. Chop into small pieces and add to the skillet with the sweet potatoes.
  4. Season the Hash:
    • Sprinkle the smoked paprika or cumin over the mixture. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Stir well to evenly distribute the spices.
  5. Add the Eggs:
    • Make small wells in the hash and crack an egg into each well. Cover the skillet with a lid and cook for 3–5 minutes, or until the egg whites are set but the yolks remain runny.
  6. Serve Immediately:
    • Garnish with fresh parsley or avocado slices. Serve hot with your favorite hot sauce or a side of crusty bread.

💡 Tips and Variations

  • 🥬 Add Greens: Toss in a handful of spinach or kale during the last minute of cooking for extra nutrients.
  • 🧄 Garlic Kick: Add minced garlic to the veggies for a bolder flavor.
  • 🥑 Creamy Topping: Serve with avocado slices or a dollop of Greek yogurt.
