Description
Sweet Potato Breakfast Hash is a hearty, one-pan breakfast loaded with crispy sweet potatoes, savory protein, and flavorful veggies. It’s nutrient-dense, meal-prep friendly, and customizable for any taste.
Ingredients
2 large sweet potatoes, peeled and diced into 1/2-inch cubes
1 tbsp olive oil or avocado oil
1 medium yellow onion, diced
1 bell pepper, diced
2 cloves garlic, minced
1/2 lb protein of choice (chorizo, ground turkey, or chopped bacon)
1 tsp smoked paprika
1/2 tsp garlic powder
Salt and black pepper to taste
4 large eggs (optional, for serving)
Fresh parsley or chives for garnish (optional)
Instructions
1. Dice sweet potatoes into 1/2-inch cubes for even cooking.
2. In a large skillet over medium heat, cook your protein until browned. Remove and set aside, leaving drippings in the pan.
3. Add onion and bell pepper. Sauté 4–5 minutes until softened. Add garlic and cook 1 minute.
4. Push veggies to the side. Bloom smoked paprika and garlic powder for 30 seconds.
5. Add diced sweet potatoes and cooked protein back to skillet. Toss to coat in spices and drippings. Season with salt and pepper.
6. Cook 15–20 minutes, stirring occasionally, until potatoes are tender and crispy on edges.
7. Optional: Create 4 wells, crack eggs into them, cover, and cook 4–6 minutes until whites are set.
8. Garnish with fresh herbs and serve warm.
Notes
Cut potatoes into uniform cubes for best texture.
Don’t stir constantly—let potatoes crisp before flipping.
Use a hot, well-oiled skillet to avoid sticking.
For meal prep, cook without eggs and store in fridge up to 4 days or freeze up to 3 months.
Reheat in skillet or microwave. Top with a fresh egg if desired.
