Ingredients
To recreate this delicious morning treat, you’ll need the following ingredients:
- 2 large sweet potatoes, peeled and diced
- 6 slices of bacon, chopped
- 1 medium onion, finely chopped
- 1 red bell pepper, diced
- 2 cloves of garlic, minced
- 4 large eggs
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
- Fresh parsley, chopped for garnish
If you’re looking for substitutions, turkey bacon can replace traditional bacon for a lighter option, and bell peppers can be swapped out for any other color you have on hand.
Instructions
Follow these simple steps to bring this hearty dish to life:
- Begin by heating a large skillet over medium heat. Add the chopped bacon and cook until crispy, about 5-7 minutes. Remove the bacon with a slotted spoon and set aside, leaving the rendered fat in the pan.
- Add the olive oil to the skillet, then toss in the diced sweet potatoes. Stir occasionally, cooking until they begin to soften, about 10 minutes.
- Next, add the chopped onion and red bell pepper to the skillet. Sauté until the onions are translucent, and the peppers are tender, about 5 minutes.
- Stir in the minced garlic and smoked paprika. Season the mixture with salt and pepper to taste, and cook for another 2 minutes to let the flavors meld together.
- Make four small wells in the hash, and crack an egg into each one. Cover the skillet and cook until the eggs are cooked to your liking, about 5 minutes for runny yolks and 7 minutes for well-done eggs.
- Sprinkle the crispy bacon over the top and garnish with fresh parsley before serving.
