Spinach and Sweet Potato Hash

Mandy Applegate
There’s just something about a skillet full of warm, seasoned veggies that feels like home. This Spinach & Sweet Potato Hash is one of those simple Southern dishes that fills your belly and your heart. I grew up with sweet potatoes on our table all the time, and now I love mixing them with bright veggies and a couple of eggs for a comforting start to the day.

Equipment

Ingredients
  

  • 2 small sweet potatoes diced (about 4 cups)
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 cup red onion diced
  • ½ cup red bell pepper diced
  • 2 cups baby spinach
  • 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
  • 2 large eggs
  • salt to taste
  • black pepper to taste
  • parsley or green onion chopped; optional

Instructions
 

  • Heat 1 tablespoon of the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat.
  • Add the diced sweet potatoes in a single layer and cook for 10 to 12 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the potatoes are fork tender and lightly browned.
  • Stir in the onion and cook for 3 to 4 minutes, until the onion is softened.
  • Add the bell pepper and the spinach. Cook for 1 to 2 minutes, until the spinach wilts. Season the mixture with the smoked paprika, salt, and pepper.
  • Push the vegetables to one side of the skillet and crack the eggs into the empty space.
  • Cover the skillet and cook for 3 to 4 minutes, until the egg whites are set and the yolks reach the desired doneness.
  • Season the eggs and serve the hash topped with the parsley or the green onion, if desired.

Notes

  • Add cooked sausage or crumbled bacon for extra protein and a heartier breakfast.
  • For extra heat, add a pinch of the red pepper flakes when seasoning the vegetables.
