Background: This Sweet Potato Hash is loaded with veggies and protein! It is the perfect choice for a healthy breakfast or as an option on your brunch menu. The Sweet Potato Hash is cooked all in one skillet and relatively easy to put together. Not only is it dairy-free, gluten-free, and keto friendly, but you can adapt it to your liking.

  • 2 small sweet potatoes diced
  • 4 large eggs
  • 1 white onion diced
  • 1-2 red, yellow or orange bell peppers diced
  • 5 bacon strips
  • breakfast sausage (ground or links)
  • 2 teaspoons garlic powder
  • 2 teaspoons smoked paprika
  • salt and pepper to taste
  • 1 fresh diced and seeded jalapeno
  • crushed red pepper for garnish (optional)
  • cilantro for garnish (optional)
  1. Heat cast iron skillet at high temperature. Once it is hot, add bacon and cook until it is browned. Remove bacon from skillet and put onto a plate. Once cooled, break up into smaller pieces.
  2. Add the sausage to the skillet with the bacon fat and cook until it begins to brown. Remove the sausage and put onto a plate.
  3. Add the diced sweet potatoes to the hot skillet. Let them sit to develop a brown crust vs. stirring continuously, usually about 3 minutes on medium heat. Stir once and allow them to brown on other sides as well.
  4. Add diced onion, bell peper and jalapeno to the skillet with sweet potatoes. Let them cook for a minute or two.
  5. Add sausage and bacon back into the skillet. Mix everything together. Add seasonings and stir again.
  6. Make four small wells in the skillet and break eggs into those wells. This will keep the shape of the eggs and prevent them from spreading.
  7. Put skillet into preheated oven at 400 degrees for 7 minutes. If you prefer hard boiled eggs, cook longer, about 10 to 12 minutes.
  8. Garnish with crushed red pepper and cilantro (optional) and enjoy!

Consider adding Scrambled Egg Pizza to your brunch menu, too for your guests without dietary restrictions.
