Ingredients

  • 2 lbs sweet potatoes, diced or half sweet + half russet
  • 4 slices bacon or sausage/chickpeas for plant-based option
  • 2 tbsp olive oil
  • 1 medium red onion
  • 1 red bell pepper
  • 2 cloves garlic
  • 1 cup black beans optional
  • 1 tsp smoked paprika
  • 1 tsp cumin
  • Salt and pepper
  • 4 large eggs
  • Optional: avocado, green onions, hot sauce

Instructions

  • Dice sweet potatoes into ½-inch cubes for even cooking. Chop vegetables and prepare your protein.
  • Cook bacon until crispy. Remove and drain excess grease. (For vegetarian/vegan versions, skip this step and heat olive oil.)
  • Cook onion, bell pepper, and garlic until soft and fragrant.
  • Add diced potatoes and spices. Cook 12–15 minutes, stirring occasionally but allowing potatoes to sit long enough to develop crispy edges. Cover briefly if needed to soften.
  • Return bacon and stir in beans, if using.
  • Create wells in the hash and crack eggs directly into the pan. Cover and cook until whites are set. Serve hot with avocado slices, green onions, or a drizzle of hot sauce.
