Ingredients

  • 2 medium sweet potatoes peeled and diced
  • 1 bell pepper diced
  • 1 small onion diced
  • 1 cup turkey bacon chopped
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon paprika
  • salt and pepper to taste
  • 4 large eggs cooked to your liking
  • fresh parsley chopped, for garnish

Instructions

Sweet Potato Breakfast Hash

  • Begin by peeling and dicing your sweet potatoes into small, even cubes so they cook uniformly. Dice the bell pepper and onion, and chop the turkey bacon into bite-sized pieces.
  • Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in your skillet over medium heat. Add the chopped turkey bacon and cook until it’s crispy and browned, about 5-7 minutes. Remove the bacon with a slotted spoon and set it aside, leaving the rendered fat and oil in the pan.
  • Add the remaining tablespoon of olive oil to the skillet. Toss in the diced sweet potatoes, spreading them out in an even layer. Let them cook undisturbed for about 5 minutes to develop a golden crust. Stir occasionally until tender and slightly caramelized, about 10 minutes total.
  • Add the diced onion and bell pepper to the skillet with the sweet potatoes. Sprinkle garlic powder, paprika, salt, and pepper over everything. Stir to combine and cook for another 5 minutes until the veggies soften and spices are fragrant.
  • Return the crispy turkey bacon to the skillet and mix it into the hash. Make four small wells in the hash and crack an egg into each one. Cover the skillet with a lid and cook on low heat until the eggs are cooked to your liking, about 3-5 minutes for runny yolks.
  • Sprinkle fresh chopped parsley over the top for a burst of color and freshness. Serve immediately and enjoy.

Equipment

  • Large non-stick skillet or cast-iron pan
  • Sharp chef’s knife
  • Cutting Board
  • Spatula or wooden spoon
  • Measuring Spoons
  • Small Bowl

Notes

  • Cover the skillet and add a splash of water if sweet potatoes are not softening to steam them gently.
  • Remove skillet from heat as soon as eggs reach your preferred doneness to avoid overcooking.
  • Drain excess fat from turkey bacon if hash is too greasy or reduce olive oil used.
  • Cut all vegetables and bacon into uniform sizes to ensure even cooking.
  • This hash can be prepared ahead and refrigerated for up to 2 days without eggs; reheat before adding fresh eggs.
