Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients
- 2 medium sweet potatoes, peeled and diced into small cubes
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 tablespoon butter
- 1/2 small yellow onion, diced
- 1 red bell pepper, diced
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
- 1/2 teaspoon ground cumin
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
- Salt to taste
- 4 large eggs
- Fresh parsley or green onions, chopped, for garnish
Instructions
- Heat the fat: In a large skillet over medium heat, warm the olive oil and butter together until melted and combined, providing a flavorful base for cooking.
- Cook sweet potatoes: Add the diced sweet potatoes to the skillet and cook for 10 to 12 minutes, stirring occasionally, allowing them to soften and develop golden, slightly crispy edges.
- Sauté vegetables: Incorporate the diced onion and red bell pepper into the skillet and cook for an additional 4 to 5 minutes until these vegetables are tender and fragrant.
- Add spices and garlic: Stir in the minced garlic, smoked paprika, ground cumin, black pepper, and salt, cooking for about 30 seconds to release their aromas.
- Create egg wells and add eggs: Using a spoon, make four small indentations in the hash. Crack one egg into each well carefully to keep yolks intact.
- Cook the eggs: Cover the skillet with a lid and cook the eggs for 5 to 7 minutes, or until the egg whites are set and yolks reach your preferred doneness.
- Garnish and serve: Remove the skillet from heat and sprinkle chopped fresh parsley or green onions over the dish before serving warm.
Notes
- For extra protein, stir in cooked bacon or sausage before adding the eggs.
- Add sliced avocado on top for creaminess and additional nutrients.
- Serve with hot sauce for a spicy kick if desired.
- Make sure to cover the skillet when cooking eggs to ensure even cooking.
