Ingredients

  • 2 lbs sweet potatoes, peeled, diced
  • 2 tbsp coconut oil (or avocado oil)
  • 1 red bell pepper, diced
  • 1 small yellow onion, diced
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 tsp smoked paprika
  • 1/2 tsp ground cumin
  • 1/2 tsp garlic powder
  • 1 tsp salt
  • 1/2 tsp black pepper, freshly ground
  • 4 large eggs
  • 2 tbsp fresh chives (optional), sliced

Instructions

  1. 1

    Heat 2 tbsp coconut oil (or avocado oil) in a large, heavy skillet over medium-high heat. Add 2 lbs peeled, diced sweet potatoes in a single layer, season with half the 1 tsp salt and 1/2 tsp black pepper, and cook undisturbed for 5 minutes until a golden crust forms on the bottom.

  2. 2

    Stir and continue cooking for another 5 to 7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the sweet potatoes are tender and browned on multiple sides.

  3. 3

    Push the sweet potatoes to the edges. Add more oil to the center and saute 1 small diced yellow onion and 1 diced red bell pepper for 3 minutes until softened.

  4. 4

    Add 3 cloves minced garlic, 1 tsp smoked paprika, 1/2 tsp ground cumin, 1/2 tsp garlic powder, and remaining salt and black pepper. Stir everything together and cook 1 minute more.

  5. 5

    Make 4 wells in the hash and crack one of the 4 large eggs into each well. Cover the skillet with a lid and cook over medium-low heat for 4 to 6 minutes, until the egg whites are set and yolks are cooked to your liking.

  6. 6

    Garnish with 2 tbsp sliced fresh chives (optional) and serve directly from the pan.
