How to Make Sweet Potato Breakfast Hash

In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat until shimmering, creating a warm base for our ingredients.
Add the diced sweet potatoes and let them sizzle, stirring occasionally. Cook for about 10-15 minutes until they start to soften and turn that golden, inviting hue.
Toss in the diced bell pepper and onion, seasoning everything with a sprinkle of salt and pepper. The aromas will begin to mingle beautifully!
Continue cooking for an additional 5-10 minutes until all the vegetables are tender and fragrant, filling your kitchen with a lovely blend of scents.
If you’d like to add eggs to your hash, create small wells in the mixture and crack an egg into each well. Cover the skillet and let them cook until the eggs reach your desired doneness. The sight of those sunny yolks nestled in the hash is simply irresistible!
Once everything is perfectly cooked, garnish with fresh herbs if desired, adding a pop of color and flavor that’s utterly charming.
Serve warm and dive into this comforting dish that is just as nourishing as it is delicious!

Fun Ways to Customize It

Spicy Kick: For a zesty twist, toss in some diced jalapeños or a sprinkle of red pepper flakes. This will awaken your taste buds and add that fiery spark!
Protein Power: Stir in cooked turkey bacon or crumbled turkey sausage to make your breakfast even heartier. The extra protein keeps you full and satisfied!
Creamy Bliss: Top your hash with a dollop of avocado or a sprinkle of feta cheese for a rich, creamy finish that complements the sweet and savory flavors beautifully.
Seasonal Flavors: Add seasonal vegetables like zucchini or spinach for an even fresher taste. The more colors, the more fun in your dish!

Chef Emma’s Helpful Tips

Make-Ahead Advice: You can prep the veggies ahead of time! Dice your sweet potatoes, bell peppers, and onion a day in advance and store them in the fridge to save precious time in the morning.
Slicing Trick: When dicing sweet potatoes, try to cut them into uniform pieces. This ensures they cook evenly and have that delightful golden-brown finish.
Storage Suggestions: Any leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days. Reheat gently in a skillet with a dash of olive oil!
Easy Egg Swap: If you’re short on eggs or prefer a vegan option, skip the eggs altogether! The hash is delightful on its own or can be paired with your favorite plant-based protein.
