How to Make It

Alright, folks, here’s the magic. Grab those sweet potatoes—about two medium ones—and chop them into little bites of sunshine. Heat some oil in a big ol’ skillet, like the one that’s seen better days, over medium heat. Toss in your potatoes and let them sizzle for about 10 minutes, stirring so they don’t get all clingy with the pan. Add a handful of chopped bell peppers and onions, or whatever veg you didn’t mean to leave in the fridge too long.

Now, here’s the fun part: make a couple of little wells in the veggies as if you’re creating nests for those eggs to sit pretty. Crack the eggs right in and season like you mean it. Cover your masterpiece with a lid and let it cook for about 5 more minutes until those eggs are done to your version of perfection. Yep, that’s pretty much breakfast sorted!

Ingredient Notes

– Sweet Potatoes: These little guys are the heroes—sweet and cozy. They can stubbornly stick sometimes, so don’t skimp on the oil.
– Eggs: Preferably not the ones you’ve forgotten in the back of the fridge. Fresh ones just work miracles here.
– Bell Peppers: Adds color like a confetti party in your skillet! Don’t skip if you love a bit of crunch.

Recipe Steps:
1. Chop sweet potatoes into small cubes.
2. Heat oil in a skillet and add potatoes.
3. Sauté for 10 minutes, stirring occasionally.
4. Add chopped bell peppers and onions to the potatoes.
5. Create wells in the mixture and crack eggs into each.
6. Cover and cook until eggs are done, about 5 minutes.

What to Serve It With

This hash is begging for a sidekick like avocado slices, some crusty bread, or hey, go wild and drop a dollop of sour cream on top. It’s breakfast nirvana, people!

Tips & Mistakes

Avoid overcrowding the pan like sardines; we’re making hash, not a veggie stampede. If the eggs aren’t cooking through, a sprinkle of water and a lid-transform can save the day. Remember when I flipped half my hash onto the floor trying a fancy toss? Yup, don’t do that.

Storage Tips

Lookie here, if there’s any left (big *if*), stash it in an air-tight container in the fridge and heat it up like your life depends on it. Cold hash isn’t the vibe, but neither is judgment if it happens. Or surprise, it’s breakfast again. No shame, we’re low on groceries, let’s roll with it!

Variations and Substitutions

This is where you get to channel your inner mad scientist. Switch up sweet potatoes with regular ones if you fancy, or cheese it up with some sharp cheddar sprinkles. Cajun seasoning is awesome if you crave a spicy kick, but sometimes laziness calls and parsley has to become our garnish hero.
