Ingredients
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 medium onion, diced
- 1 red bell pepper, diced
- 2 medium sweet potatoes, peeled and cubed
- 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
- 1/2 teaspoon chili powder (optional for extra heat)
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- Salt and pepper, to taste
- 4 large eggs
- Optional toppings: fresh cilantro, sliced avocado, hot sauce
Instructions
Warm the olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the diced onion and bell pepper, cooking for about five minutes or until they begin to soften. Stir occasionally to prevent sticking.
Add the sweet potatoes to the pan along with the smoked paprika, chili powder (if you like a kick), garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Toss to coat everything in the spices. Reduce the heat to medium, cover, and let the sweet potatoes cook until tender—about 10 to 12 minutes—stirring every few minutes.
Once the sweet potatoes are fork-soft and begin to develop some crisp edges, create four small wells in the hash. Carefully crack an egg into each well. Cover the skillet again and cook for another 4 to 5 minutes, or until the egg whites are firm but the yolks are still runny.
Top your hash with a sprinkle of cilantro, slices of ripe avocado, or a drizzle of hot sauce for a final burst of flavor. Serve warm and enjoy.
This breakfast hash is a real crowd-pleaser, ideal for busy mornings or lazy weekends alike. Thanks to the naturally sweet and hearty sweet potatoes and protein-packed eggs, you’ll start your day feeling energized. If desired, swap in spinach or kale for extra greenery, or use turkey sausage for meat-eaters. Keep things flexible by adjusting the spice level and toppings to suit everyone’s taste. No matter how you choose to customize it, this dish promises a healthy, satisfying, and reassuringly simple way to welcome the morning.
