This Sweet Potato Hash makes a favorite meal around my house. It is perfect for a lazy weekend breakfast or even a fun weeknight supper. Who knew that a simple sweet potato hash recipe could be so versatile? Or simple? Or fabulous?
Basically, this sweet potato hash is a one dish meal prepared in a skillet. You can beat that for simple!
This sweet potato hash recipe begins by browning your favorite sausage or chorizo in the skillet, then quickly cooking the shredded sweet potatoes along with the sausage or chorizo to get it nice and crispy. So much of the flavor and texture comes from this step.
Once the sweet potatoes begin to crisp a bit, I make an indention into them with the back of a large spoon and break an egg into each one. Then, it all goes into the oven for a few minutes to bake the eggs.
Once the eggs have baked, I remove it from the oven and prepare it for serving by spooning on salsa, sprinkling with salt and freshly ground pepper and topping it with a bit of cilantro.
Here’s my Sweet Potato Hash Recipe. It’s a keeper and a must-maker.
