INGREDIENTS
- 1 large sweet potato, peeled and diced into small cubes
- 1/2 medium onion, finely chopped
- 1/2 bell pepper (any color), diced
- 2 tablespoons olive oil or cooking oil of your choice
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 1/2 teaspoon ground cumin
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 2 large eggs
- Fresh parsley or cilantro for garnish (optional)
INSTRUCTIONS
Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat.
Add the diced sweet potatoes to the skillet and spread them out into an even layer. Cook for about 5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the sweet potatoes are slightly softened and starting to brown.
Reduce the heat to medium and add the chopped onions and bell pepper to the skillet. Continue to cook for another 5-7 minutes, or until the vegetables are tender and the sweet potatoes are fully cooked.
Sprinkle the paprika, ground cumin, salt, and pepper over the sweet potato mixture. Stir to coat the vegetables evenly with the spices. Adjust the seasoning to your taste.
In a separate non-stick pan, heat the remaining 1 tablespoon of olive oil over medium heat. Crack the eggs into the pan, one at a time, making sure to keep them separate. Cook the eggs to your desired level of doneness (sunny-side-up or over-easy).
Divide the sweet potato hash into two servings and transfer each portion to a plate.
Top each serving of sweet potato hash with a fried egg.
Garnish with fresh parsley or cilantro if desired.
Serve immediately and enjoy your delicious and nutritious Sweet Potato Hash with Fried Egg!
TIPS
Feel free to add other vegetables to the sweet potato hash, such as zucchini, spinach, or tomatoes, for extra flavor and nutrition.
You can customize the level of spiciness by adding a pinch of cayenne pepper or red pepper flakes.
For added protein, you can serve the sweet potato hash with a side of cooked quinoa, black beans, or avocado.
If you prefer a softer texture for the sweet potato hash, cover the skillet with a lid and let it cook for a few extra minutes until the sweet potatoes are fully tender.
