How to make Sweet Potato Hash With Eggs?

Here’s a healthier and filling breakfast option- sweet potato egg hash prepared using a combination of nutritious ingredients. These steps should be followed to create it:

On medium heat, fry the bacon in a large skillet until it becomes crispy and golden. Next, use a slotted spoon to remove the bacon pieces from the skillet and transfer them onto a paper towel.

Cook the onion and red bell pepper in a skillet over heat for approximately one minute until they become tender.

Take a skillet and cook the sweet potatoes and spices for 10-12 minutes. Cover the pan with a lid for the final 5 minutes to allow the sweet potatoes to soften further.

Stir the bacon and kale together in the pan until the kale is slightly softened.

Using a spatula, make indentations in the hash. To cook the eggs to your liking, crack one egg into each well and keep cooking. Instead, you can put a lid on the pan to ensure thorough cooking.

Take the breakfast hash off the heat and add a pinch of salt, pepper, and sliced green onion for seasoning. Serve the dish and savor!

My Best Tips

• Equal size cubes: To ensure even cooking, it is important to cut the sweet potatoes and other ingredients into cubes that are nearly identical in size.
• Fully cook the potatoes: Make sure to cook the sweet potatoes thoroughly before adding the eggs to the hash for the desired texture.
• Watch the eggs: It’s important to keep a close eye on the hash once the eggs are added and placed under the broiler to prevent overcooking.
