Description
A savory and crispy sweet potato hash made in a skillet with tender onions and simple seasonings, perfect as a flavorful and nutritious breakfast or brunch side dish.
Ingredients
Main Ingredients
- 2 large sweet potatoes, diced
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1/2 onion, diced
- 1/2 teaspoon paprika
- Salt and black pepper to taste
Optional
- Fried eggs for serving
Instructions
- Heat the oil: Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat until shimmering to ensure even cooking and prevent sticking.
- Cook the sweet potatoes: Add the diced sweet potatoes to the skillet. Cook them, stirring occasionally, allowing them to soften and become crispy on the outside, approximately 15-20 minutes.
- Add onions and seasonings: Stir in the diced onions, paprika, salt, and black pepper. Continue cooking until the onions are softened and translucent, about 5 minutes.
- Final seasoning and serve: Adjust seasoning if necessary, remove from heat, and optionally top with fried eggs before serving warm.
Notes
- For faster softening of the sweet potatoes, cover the skillet for the first 5 minutes after adding them.
- Use medium heat to avoid burning the sweet potatoes and onions.
- Feel free to add herbs such as thyme or rosemary for extra flavor variations.
- Adding fried eggs can boost protein content and enhance the dish as a complete meal.
