Method
 

  1. Peel and dice the sweet potatoes into ½ inch cubes.

  3. Add the sweet potato cubes in a single layer, avoiding crowding the pan.

  6. Once the potatoes are halfway cooked, add the diced onions and bell pepper.
  7. Stir and continue cooking, seasoning with salt, pepper, and any chosen spices.
  8. If using greens, add them in the last 2-3 minutes of cooking.
  9. For added protein, create wells in the hash and crack eggs into them, covering the pan until the whites are set.

Notes

Feel free to customize the hash with whatever vegetables you have on hand! For a healthier version, use olive or avocado oil. For a richer flavor, try cooking in bacon fat. Leftovers can be stored in airtight containers for 4 to 5 days and reheated in a skillet for crispy results. They also work great in wraps, grain bowls, or as pizza toppings! Experiment with different spices like cayenne for heat or smoked paprika for a depth of flavor. This hash is versatile; you can enjoy it any time of day, not just for breakfast!
