Recipe preparation

Essential Ingredients

Here’s what you’ll need to make this delicious dish:

Sweet Potatoes: Choose firm ones without blemishes; they should be vibrant orange inside for the best flavor.
Bell Peppers: Any color works; they add sweetness and crunch to the dish.
Onions: Yellow or red onions bring a savory depth that complements the sweetness of the potatoes.
Garlic: Fresh garlic cloves are essential; they infuse the dish with an irresistible aroma.
Olive Oil: Use extra virgin olive oil for sautéing; it adds richness while keeping everything healthy.
Spices (Cumin and Paprika): These spices elevate the flavor profile and give it a warm kick.
Salt and Pepper: Basic but crucial for enhancing all those beautiful flavors.
Eggs (optional): Top your hash with eggs cooked to your liking; they add protein and creaminess.

Let’s Make it Together

Prepare Your Ingredients: Begin by peeling and dicing the sweet potatoes into small cubes; aim for even sizes so they cook uniformly.

Sauté the Veggies: In a large skillet over medium heat, add olive oil then toss in diced onions and bell peppers. Sauté until they soften and become fragrant.

Add Sweet Potatoes & Spices: Stir in the diced sweet potatoes along with cumin and paprika. Season generously with salt and pepper before covering the skillet.

Cook Until Tender: Let everything cook undisturbed for about 10-15 minutes until the sweet potatoes are fork-tender. Stir occasionally to prevent sticking.

Finish It Off!: If using eggs, create little wells in the mixture and crack an egg into each well. Cover until eggs reach desired doneness.

Serve hot with fresh herbs sprinkled on top for an extra pop of color and flavor.

Enjoy your delicious creation!
