Sweet Potato Hash Recipe

Ingredients (Serves 2-3)

  • 2 medium sweet potatoes, peeled and diced into small cubes
  • 1/2 cup diced onion (yellow or red)
  • 1/2 cup diced bell pepper (any color)
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil or avocado oil
  • 1/2 teaspoon smoked paprika
  • 1/2 teaspoon cumin (optional)
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • Optional add-ins: cooked sausage, bacon, or turkey ham
  • Optional toppings: fried or poached eggs, avocado, fresh herbs (parsley or cilantro), hot sauce, or sour cream

Instructions

  1. Prep the Sweet Potatoes: Peel and dice the sweet potatoes into small, even cubes for even cooking.
  2. Cook the Sweet Potatoes: Heat 1 tablespoon of oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the sweet potatoes and cook for about 8-10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until they start to soften and develop a slight crisp. Remove from the skillet and set aside.
  3. Sauté the Veggies: In the same skillet, add the remaining oil. Sauté the onions and bell peppers for 3-4 minutes until softened. Add the minced garlic and cook for another 1-2 minutes until fragrant.
  4. Combine and Season: Return the sweet potatoes to the skillet. Sprinkle with smoked paprika, cumin (if using), salt, and pepper. Stir everything together and cook for another 5-7 minutes until the sweet potatoes are tender and slightly caramelized.
  5. Add Protein (Optional): If using cooked sausage, bacon, or turkey ham, stir it in during the last few minutes of cooking to warm through.
  6. Serve: Transfer the hash to a serving dish. Top with fried or poached eggs, avocado slices, fresh herbs, or a drizzle of hot sauce for extra flavor.

Tips

  • For faster cooking, parboil the sweet potato cubes for 5 minutes before sautéing.
  • Make it spicy by adding diced jalapeños or a pinch of cayenne pepper.
  • This dish is great for meal prep! Store leftovers in the fridge for up to 3 days and reheat in a skillet or microwave.
