Ingredients
- 2 medium sweet potatoes, peeled and diced
- 1 small red bell pepper, diced
- 1 small red onion, chopped
- 2 tablespoons olive oil or avocado oil
- 1 garlic clove, minced
- 1/2 teaspoon smoked paprika
- Sea salt and black pepper, to taste
- Optional: 2 eggs, cooked to your liking (fried or poached)
Instructions
- Cook the sweet potatoes: Heat 1 tablespoon oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add sweet potatoes and cook, stirring occasionally, for about 8–10 minutes until beginning to soften.
- Add veggies: Push sweet potatoes to the side and add remaining oil to the skillet. Sauté onion, bell pepper, and garlic for 3–4 minutes until softened and fragrant.
- Season and mix: Stir in smoked paprika, salt, and pepper. Mix everything together and continue cooking until the sweet potatoes are golden and fork-tender, about 5 more minutes.
- Optional eggs: In a separate skillet or in the same pan, cook eggs to your preference—fried or poached are delicious atop this hash.
- Assemble: Plate the hash and top with eggs, if using.
- Garnish: Sprinkle with fresh herbs like parsley or green onions, if desired.
- Serve warm and enjoy a flavorful, filling start to your day.
Storage and Reheating Instructions
Store leftover hash in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 4 days. Reheat in a skillet over medium heat until warmed through. If using eggs, cook fresh eggs just before serving.
Substitutions and Variations
- Add greens: Toss in a handful of spinach or kale in the last 2 minutes of cooking.
- Make it spicy: Add diced jalapeño or a pinch of chili flakes.
- Boost protein: Stir in cooked sausage, ground turkey, or leftover shredded chicken.
- Egg-free option: Top with sliced avocado or a dollop of paleo-friendly salsa.
This sweet potato hash is a warm, comforting way to fuel your morning—simple, clean, and endlessly customizable to suit your taste and routine.
