Ingredients

  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 large or 2 medium sweet potatoes (about 1 pound total), chopped into ½-inch cubes, about 4 cups chopped
  • 1 small yellow onion chopped
  • 1 red bell pepper chopped
  • 3 cloves garlic minced
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • ¾ teaspoon onion powder
  • ½ teaspoon smoked paprika
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • ¼ teaspoon pepper
  • 2 cups chopped spinach or chopped kale leaves (tough stems removed)
  • 4 large eggs
  • 2 green onions white and light green parts only, chopped

Instructions

  • Heat the olive oil in a large cast iron skillet or other heavy skillet over medium heat. Add the cubed sweet potato and cook, stirring often, for 8 minutes.
  • Add the onion and bell pepper and continue cooking for 7-9 minutes, until sweet potatoes are tender. (Taste a few to check.)
  • Reduce the heat to medium-low and stir in the garlic, garlic powder, onion powder, smoked paprika, salt and pepper. Cook, stirring, for 30 seconds. Then stir in the spinach until it starts to wilt.
  • Make 4 shallow wells in the vegetable mixture and crack an egg into each well. Cook for 4-8 minutes, until eggs are cooked to your liking, covering the pan as needed to help the eggs cook through.
  • Sprinkle with a little freshly ground black pepper, garnish with chopped green onions and serve.

Notes

  • This recipe makes 2 generous servings or 4 smaller servings. Nutrition estimate is based on 4 servings.
Recipe Variations:
  • Just veggies: You can make this hash without the eggs if you prefer. It’s a great side dish that way!
  • Add sausage or bacon: First cook the sausage or bacon in the skillet, then remove to a clean plate while you cook the veggies, finally stir sausage/bacon back in when you add the spinach or kale. Use 4 strips of bacon or 1/2 pound of ground breakfast sausage.
  • Other veggies: You can add other veggies to this recipe, such as zucchini or mushrooms. Just add them to the skillet based on their cook time. (Zucchini cooks pretty quickly – just a few minutes is enough to soften it. Mushrooms could be added with the onion and bell pepper.)
