Equipment

3-in-1 Avocado Slicer

Ingredients

For the Hash

2 tablespoons grapeseed oil
4 cups 1/4-inch diced sweet potato
1 cup diced yellow onion
1/2 cup diced red bell pepper
1/2 cup diced green bell pepper
1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
4 eggs

Toppings of Choice

Diced avocado
Sour cream
Cotija cheese
Halved cherry tomatoes
Pickled jalapeno slices
Chopped fresh cilantro

Instructions

Preheat the oven to 400 degrees Fahrenheit (204 degrees Celsius).
Heat the oil in a 10" cast-iron skillet* over medium heat. Once the oil is shimmering, add the sweet potatoes and spread them out into a single layer. Allow to cook until browned on the bottom, about 3 to 4 minutes. Add the onion, bell peppers, salt, and pepper. Continue cooking, turning the contents of the pan as they brown, until the sweet potato is fork-tender, about 8 to 10 minutes.
Meanwhile, begin preparing any garnishes or toppings you plan to use (dice the avocado, crumble the cotija, halve the tomatoes, etc.).
Once the sweet potatoes are tender, turn off the heat and make four small holes in the hash; crack one egg into each hole and season with salt and pepper. Carefully transfer the skillet to the preheated oven; bake for 5 to 10 minutes, until the eggs are cooked to your liking.
Finish preparing any toppings while the hash is in the oven; carefully remove the skillet from the oven once the eggs are done. Garnish with your toppings of choice and serve at once.

Notes

*Or other oven-safe pan

Sweet Potato Hash with Eggs is best enjoyed fresh, but you can store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days. While freezing is possible, the texture of the eggs and potatoes may change upon thawing.

To reheat, place the hash in a skillet over medium heat until heated through, which helps maintain some crispness. Alternatively, you can reheat it in a microwave, but this might soften the texture of the potatoes.
