Sweet Potato Hash
This Sweet Potato Hash is one of my all-time favorite savory breakfasts! Packed with seasoned sweet potatoes, veggies, and eggs, it’s not only filling and healthy but also absolutely delicious!
Ingredients
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 large or 2 medium sweet potatoes about 1 pound total, chopped into ½-inch cubes (about 4 cups chopped)
- 1 small yellow onion chopped
- 1 red bell pepper chopped
- 3 cloves garlic minced
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- ¾ teaspoon onion powder
- ½ teaspoon smoked paprika
- ½ teaspoon salt
- ¼ teaspoon pepper
- 2 cups chopped spinach or chopped kale leaves tough stems removed
- 4 large eggs
- 2 green onions white and light green parts only, chopped
Instructions
- Heat the olive oil in a large cast iron or heavy skillet over medium heat. Add the cubed sweet potatoes and cook, stirring frequently, for 8 minutes.
- Add the onion and bell pepper, continuing to cook for 7-9 minutes until the sweet potatoes are tender. Taste a few pieces to check for doneness.
- Reduce the heat to medium-low and stir in the garlic, garlic powder, onion powder, smoked paprika, salt, and pepper. Cook, stirring, for 30 seconds, then mix in the spinach until it begins to wilt.
- Create 4 shallow wells in the vegetable mixture and crack an egg into each. Cook for 4-8 minutes until the eggs are set to your preference, covering the pan as needed to help them cook through.
- Sprinkle with freshly ground black pepper, garnish with chopped green onions, and serve.

Just Veggies: You can skip the eggs for a delicious vegetable hash that works perfectly as a side dish.
Add Sausage or Bacon: Cook the sausage or bacon first, then remove it to a clean plate before cooking the veggies. Stir the cooked sausage or bacon back in when adding the spinach or kale. Use 4 strips of bacon or ½ pound of ground breakfast sausage.
Other Veggies: Feel free to mix in additional vegetables like zucchini or mushrooms. Add them according to their cook time—zucchini softens in just a few minutes, while mushrooms can be added with the onion and bell pepper.
