recipe tips and notes
-I think the easiest way to make the eggs is just to crack them right on top of the hash. But scrambled eggs are really yummy with this recipe too.
-If you’re serving more than 4 people, there is room for 6 eggs on top.
-To prep this breakfast hash ahead of time, dice up the onion, sweet potato and beet ahead of time and sauté them according to the recipe instructions. Refrigerate these veggies in an airtight container. When you’re ready to make the hash, heat them up in a cast iron skillet. When the mixture is hot, pick up on step 3.
-This recipe is great served with sourdough toast and homemade butter!
mexican inspired sweet potato breakfast hash
Once in a while we love to make a this breakfast hash with a Mexican twist. To do this:
- Omit the beets
- Add black beans and tomatoes after the sweet potato cooks through.
- Add the eggs, and finish with some shredded mozzarella cheese.
- Add hot sauce or red pepper flakes to give it some kick.
- Serve with fresh cilantro, sour cream and sliced avocado!
storing leftover breakfast hash
Leftovers will keep in the fridge in a sealed container for 5 days. Reheat in a cast iron skillet on medium-high heat for best results, a microwave can make it mushy. It also works best to fry fresh eggs instead of reheating leftover eggs.
