Ingredients

Scale

Vegetables and Aromatics

  • 2 medium sweet potatoes, peeled and diced into bite-sized cubes
  • 1 bell pepper, chopped
  • 1 medium onion, chopped
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced

Oils and Spices

  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon paprika
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground cumin
  • Salt, to taste
  • Black pepper, to taste

Fresh Herbs and Garnishes

  • 2 tablespoons fresh parsley or cilantro, chopped
  • Optional: sour cream, shredded cheddar or feta cheese, sliced green onions

Optional Proteins

  • 2–3 eggs, cooked as desired (fried, scrambled, or poached)
  • Cooked sausage or bacon, chopped
  • Plant-based options: tofu or tempeh, cubed and cooked

Instructions

  1. Prepare Ingredients: Peel and dice the sweet potatoes into bite-sized cubes. Chop the bell peppers and onions, and mince the garlic. Set aside all prepared vegetables.
  2. Heat the Skillet: Warm 2 tablespoons of olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat until shimmering, preparing the pan to crisp and cook the vegetables evenly.
  3. Cook Sweet Potatoes: Add the diced sweet potatoes to the skillet. Stir occasionally, cooking for about 10-12 minutes until they begin to soften and develop a light golden crust.
  4. Add Vegetables and Spices: Mix in the chopped onions, bell peppers, and minced garlic. Season with paprika, cumin, salt, and pepper. Stir frequently to combine flavors and soften the vegetables.
  5. Optional Protein Addition: If using proteins like sausage or bacon, cook them separately and add back to the skillet now. To add eggs, crack them on top of the hash and cook until set, according to your preference.
  6. Garnish and Serve: Once fully cooked and slightly crisp, remove the skillet from heat. Sprinkle freshly chopped parsley or cilantro over the top, and add any desired garnishes such as sour cream, cheese, or green onions before serving.

Notes

  • Cut sweet potatoes into uniform cubes to ensure even cooking.
  • Use a large skillet to avoid crowding, allowing vegetables to crisp rather than steam.
  • For quicker cooking, par-cook sweet potato cubes by microwaving or boiling briefly before sautéing.
  • Toast spices in the olive oil for about a minute before adding vegetables to enhance flavor.
  • Add fresh herbs just before serving to preserve their color and bright aroma.
