This recipe brings together the natural sweetness of sweet potatoes, the satisfying crunch of bell peppers, and the richness of fried eggs, all cooked to perfection in a trusty cast iron skillet. It’s a dish that’s bursting with flavors and textures, creating a hearty and fuss-free meal option that’s as easy to make as it is delicious. Let’s begin!

  • Prep Time: 10 minutes
  • Cook Time: 20 minutes
  • Total Time: 30 minutes
  • Yield: 2–3 servings 1x

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 medium sweet potatoes, peeled and diced
  • 1 red bell pepper, diced
  • 1 yellow bell pepper, diced
  • 1 small onion, finely chopped
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 teaspoon paprika
  • Salt and black pepper, to taste
  • 4–5 large eggs
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)

Instructions

  1. Heat olive oil in a cast iron skillet over medium heat.
  2. Add chopped onion and garlic. Sauté for 2-3 minutes until fragrant.
  3. Stir in diced sweet potatoes and bell peppers. Season with paprika, salt, and black pepper.
  4. Cook for 15-20 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the sweet potatoes are tender and slightly crispy.
  5. Create wells in the sweet potato mixture and crack eggs into each well. Cook until the egg whites are set, but the yolks are still runny.
  6. Sprinkle chopped parsley over the hash and eggs.
  7. Serve the hash hot from the skillet.

Notes

When dicing the sweet potatoes and bell peppers, aim for uniform sizes. This ensures even cooking and prevents some pieces from being undercooked while others are overcooked. If you’re short on time, partially precook the diced sweet potatoes in the microwave for a few minutes before adding them to the skillet. This will speed up the cooking process and help achieve that desirable crispy texture. Feel free to top this dish with crumbled feta cheese or avocado slices for an extra creamy finish. Serve with a side of crispy bacon or whole grain toast for a complete meal and enjoy!
