Can I use regular potatoes instead of sweet potatoes?

Yes, you can substitute Yukon Gold or Russet potatoes, but keep in mind the flavor will be less sweet and the cooking time may vary slightly.

How do I make sure the sweet potatoes don't stick to the pan?

Ensure your skillet is well-heated before adding oil, and use a sufficient amount of fat. A well-seasoned cast iron skillet is the best tool to prevent sticking.

Can I make sweet potato hash and eggs ahead of time?

You can prep the hash (potatoes and veggies) ahead of time and store it. However, for the best experience, add and cook the eggs just before serving so the yolks remain runny.

Is this recipe gluten-free?

Yes, this sweet potato hash and eggs recipe is naturally gluten-free and dairy-free, making it suitable for many dietary needs.

Instructions

Step 1: Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the diced sweet potatoes and cook for 10-12 minutes, stirring occasionally, until golden and tender.
Step 2: Add the diced onion and bell pepper to the skillet with the potatoes. Sauté for another 5-7 minutes until the vegetables are softened.
Step 3: Stir in the minced garlic, smoked paprika, cumin, salt, and pepper. Cook for 1 minute until fragrant.
Step 4: Use a spoon to create small wells in the hash mixture. Crack one egg into each well.
Step 5: Cover the skillet with a lid and cook for 3-5 minutes, or until the egg whites are set but the yolks are still runny.
Step 6: Remove from heat, garnish with fresh herbs, and serve immediately.

Notes

For extra crispiness, ensure the sweet potatoes are dried with a paper towel after dicing and before hitting the hot oil.
