Why Make This Sweet Potato Hash
This hash is really easy to make for a busy weekend or you can meal prep it for the week. It's savory, spiced to perfection and full of nutritious ingredients. This hash can be served vegetarian, vegan or with eggs and bacon, the options are endless. You can use any potato of choice, but I prefer the sweet potatoes with this breakfast seasoning blend.
Ingredients Needed
Sweet Potato. One medium sized sweet potato.
Red Bell Pepper. Or any color of pepper of choice.
Eggs. Four large eggs
Olive Oil or Avocado Oil.
Red Onion. Or any onion of choice.
Seasoning. Garlic, salt, pepper, paprika, oregano, cinnamon (my secret breakfast blend of seasoning!)
Fresh Garlic.
Spinach.
Optional Toppings: Feta, cilantro, sour cream, hot sauce or salsa.
Steps To Make This Recipe
Step one. I typically eat the skin of a sweet potato, but you can peel it first if you'd prefer. Evenly dice up all of your sweet potato. In a large skillet, heat up oil on high heat. Once it's hot, add chopped sweet potatoes and seasoning. Put heat down to medium and cover the skillet.
Step two. Sweet potatoes will need to be stirred a few times but need to cook for about 10 -12 minutes or until they are soft enough to pierce with a fork. Next, chop bell pepper, onion and garlic into bite sized even pieces. Discard the seeds and white flesh of bell pepper. Chop spinach. Add the bell pepper, onion, garlic to the softened sweet potatoes. Cover again for 3 minutes.
Step three. Next, clear four spots in the skillet for the eggs. Add a very small amount of olive oil to each spot cleared for the eggs. About 1/2 tsp or less of oil will work. Carefully place one egg into each clearly spot.
Step four. Cover the above and cook for about 10 minutes. Check on the eggs, you can cover and cook longer if you like your eggs more well done. You can place eggs and hash on each plate or, eat it right out of the skillet with your honey 😉

Yummy, a hearty breakfast. A nice change from the standard ‘bacon and eggs’.

Absolutely delicious but also colorful and pretty on the plate! We will be using this in the summer for our overnight-sails with guests as well as at home. With a little pre-planning the process can work well in a galley kitchen for hungry sailors.

I made this for a luncheon using left over roasted brussel sprouts, carrots and sweet potatoes. Started by browning some bacon. Decided to clean out the fridge so I threw in some poblano pepper, some roasted red pepper strips, and mushrooms to the pan with the leftover roasted veggies, and then cracked in the eggs! Was simple and delicious and very versatile. Very well received although my eggs didn’t stay runny.
