Sweet potato hash with eggs is a tasty breakfast or brunch dish. It combines crispy roasted sweet potatoes with eggs cooked just right, making a filling and colorful meal.
I like to sprinkle a little cheese or scallions on top. It makes me feel fancy, even if I’m just at home in pajamas!
For easy serving, I just grab a spoon and enjoy it straight from the pan. It’s quick, healthy, and perfect to start a busy day!
Ingredients & Substitutions
Sweet potatoes: The star of the dish, providing sweetness and a hearty bite. I like roasting or sautéing them until tender. You can swap with white potatoes if needed, but sweet potatoes give a nicer flavor and color.
Eggs: They add richness and protein. For a softer yolk, cook your eggs sunny side up or runny. If you prefer, scrambled eggs work well too. Just keep an eye on the cooking time to prevent overcooking.
Bell peppers: They bring bright flavor and crunch. I use red or yellow for sweetness, but green peppers add a more bitter note. You can skip or replace with chopped zucchini or spinach if needed.
Onion and garlic: They build a flavorful base. I sauté them until translucent for best flavor. If you’re out of garlic, a pinch of garlic powder works, or shallots can be a good alternative.
How do I get perfectly crispy sweet potatoes?
Start with evenly chopped sweet potatoes so they cook uniformly. Toss them with a little oil and don’t overcrowd the pan to prevent steaming. Cook over medium-high heat, flipping occasionally, until browned and crispy.
- Use a large skillet to give enough space for the potatoes to crisp up.
- Avoid stirring constantly; let them sit undisturbed for a few minutes to develop a crust.
- If needed, cook in batches to ensure they stay crispy instead of steaming.
