Ingredients
- 2 medium sweet potatoes, peeled and diced into 1/2-inch cubes (about 3 cups)
- 4 large eggs
- 1/2 medium onion, diced
- 1 bell pepper (red or green), diced
- 2 tbsp olive oil
- 1 tbsp butter
- 1 tsp smoked paprika
- 1/2 tsp garlic powder
- 1/4 tsp cumin
- 1/4 tsp chili powder
- 1/2 tsp sea salt (adjust to taste)
- 1/4 tsp black pepper, freshly ground
- 1/4 cup chicken broth or water
- 2 tbsp fresh cilantro, chopped
- 2 green onions, sliced for garnish
- Hot sauce for serving (optional)
- Sour cream for serving (optional)
Instructions
- 1
Heat olive oil in a large cast-iron skillet over medium-high heat until shimmering, about 2 minutes.
- 2
Add diced sweet potatoes in a single layer. Season with paprika, garlic powder, cumin, chili powder, salt, and pepper. Don't stir for the first 4 minutes to allow browning.
- 3
After 4 minutes, stir the potatoes. Continue cooking for another 5-6 minutes, stirring occasionally, until potatoes are tender and golden brown on most sides.
- 4
Add diced onion and bell pepper. Stir to combine and cook for 3 minutes until vegetables soften slightly.
- 5
Make 4 evenly-spaced wells in the hash using the back of a spoon. Crack one egg into each well.
- 6
Reduce heat to medium-low. Pour chicken broth around the edges of the pan (not directly on eggs). Cover the pan with a tight-fitting lid.
- 7
Cook covered for 4-6 minutes. Check at 4 minutes - eggs should be set around the edges but still slightly jiggly in the center for medium-cooked yolks.
- 8
Remove from heat. The eggs will continue cooking from residual heat. Garnish with fresh cilantro and sliced green onions.
- 9
Serve directly from the pan with hot sauce and sour cream on the side. Excellent with toast or flour tortillas.
Pro Tips
💡
Dice sweet potatoes into small, uniform cubes (about 1/2 inch) so they cook evenly and get crispy.
💡
Don't stir too often - let the potatoes develop a golden crust on one side before flipping.
💡
Cover the pan when cooking eggs to trap steam and help them cook faster without burning the bottom.
