Description
Mexican-inspired sweet potato hash with eggs delivers hearty breakfast comfort from Southern California kitchens. Home cooks can quickly prepare this one-skillet meal with robust spices and perfectly runny eggs.
Ingredients
Scale
- 4 large eggs
- 2 medium sweet potatoes
- 1 medium onion, chopped
- 1 bell pepper, diced
- 2 tbsps (30 ml) olive oil
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Fresh herbs (for garnish)
Instructions
- Transform sweet potatoes into uniform, bite-sized cubes using a sharp knife, ensuring consistent cooking and texture.
- Warm olive oil in a spacious skillet over medium heat, introducing diced onions and vibrant bell peppers, gently sautéing until they become translucent and tender.
- Incorporate sweet potato cubes into the skillet, generously seasoning with salt and pepper to enhance natural flavors, then cover and allow to simmer for approximately 10 minutes until potatoes reach a delicate softness.
- Carefully carve small indentations within the vegetable mixture, delicately cracking fresh eggs into each pocket, maintaining gentle heat.
- Cover the skillet, allowing eggs to cook for roughly 5 minutes, monitoring until whites set and yolks reach preferred consistency – whether runny or fully set.
- Remove from heat and artfully scatter chopped fresh herbs across the surface, creating an aromatic and visually appealing finish.
- Transfer directly from skillet to serving plates, ensuring each portion contains a harmonious blend of roasted vegetables and perfectly prepared eggs.
Notes
- Choose firm, bright-colored sweet potatoes for the best texture and flavor in your hash.
- Cut sweet potato cubes uniformly to ensure even cooking and consistent tenderness throughout the dish.
- Consider adding smoked paprika or cumin for extra depth and warmth in the flavor profile.
- Use a cast-iron skillet for better heat distribution and a delightful crispy bottom on the sweet potatoes.
