Description
Sweet Potato Hash is a soul-warming, skillet-cooked comfort food packed with smoky, savory flavor and flexible enough for breakfast, brunch, or dinner.
Ingredients
2 medium sweet potatoes, peeled and diced (about 1/2 inch cubes)
1 tbsp olive oil or avocado oil
1 small red onion, sliced
1 bell pepper (any color), diced
2 cloves garlic, minced
1/2 tsp smoked paprika
Salt and pepper to taste
Optional proteins: cooked & crumbled chorizo, sausage, or tofu
Optional toppings: avocado slices, fried or poached eggs, chopped chives
Instructions
1. Heat a nonstick or cast-iron skillet over medium heat. Add oil.
2. Sauté sweet potatoes for 5–7 minutes, stirring occasionally to prevent sticking.
3. Toss in onions and bell peppers. Sauté another 5–7 minutes until sweet potatoes begin to soften with charred edges.
4. Add garlic, smoked paprika, salt, and pepper. Stir well.
5. If adding protein, stir it in now and cook an additional 3–5 minutes.
6. Reduce heat slightly, flatten hash with the back of a spatula, and let it crisp up for 3 more minutes untouched.
7. Finish with a fried egg, fresh herbs, or a dash of hot sauce.
Notes
Try topping with goat cheese, feta, or jalapeños for a flavor boost.
Meal-prep friendly—store in the fridge for up to 3 days.
Pair with eggs or wrap in a tortilla for a brunch twist.
Add kale or spinach at the end for extra nutrients.
