Ingredients
Scale
Primary Ingredients:
- 1 large sweet potato, peeled and diced
- 2 eggs
- 1 cup cooked sausage or bacon, crumbled
Supporting Ingredients:
- ½ red onion, chopped
- 1 bell pepper (any color), chopped
Seasonings and Oils:
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
- Heat 1 tablespoon olive oil in a large skillet over medium temperature, ensuring the surface is evenly coated.
- Add diced sweet potato and spread across the pan, allowing each piece to contact the hot surface directly.
- Cook the sweet potato cubes for approximately 10 minutes, gently turning them every 3 minutes to develop a golden-brown exterior and tender interior.
- Incorporate chopped red onion and bell pepper into the skillet, mixing them thoroughly with the sweet potato pieces.
- Continue cooking the vegetable mixture for an additional 5-6 minutes, stirring occasionally to prevent sticking and ensure even caramelization.
- If desired, fold in 1 cup of crumbled sausage or bacon, distributing the protein evenly throughout the hash.
- Create two small indentations in the hash mixture using the back of a spoon.
- Carefully crack 2 eggs into these wells, keeping the yolks intact.
- Reduce heat to low and cover the skillet, allowing eggs to steam for 3-4 minutes until whites are set and yolks reach your preferred consistency.
- Sprinkle salt and freshly ground black pepper across the hash to enhance the flavors.
- Transfer the hot hash directly from skillet to serving plate, ensuring you capture all the delicious components in each portion.
Notes
- Dice sweet potatoes into uniform small cubes to ensure even cooking and a consistent texture throughout the hash.
- For a vegetarian version, swap meat with black beans or plant-based sausage crumbles for added protein.
- Use a cast-iron skillet for the best browning and crispy edges on your sweet potatoes.
- If watching carbohydrates, replace sweet potatoes with cauliflower for a lower-carb alternative that still delivers fantastic flavor.
