Key Ingredients at a Glance:

✔️ Sweet potatoes 🥔
✔️ Eggs 🥚
✔️ Onion 🧅
✔️ Garlic 🧄
✔️ Smoked paprika 🌶️
✔️ Olive oil 🫒

📌 Ingredients

• 2 medium sweet potatoes, peeled & diced into ½-inch cubes
• 1 small onion, finely diced
• 1 clove garlic, minced
• 2 tbsp olive oil (or butter for extra flavor)
• ½ tsp smoked paprika (adds depth and warmth)
• ½ tsp salt (adjust to taste)
• ¼ tsp black pepper
• 3-4 eggs
• 1 tbsp chopped fresh parsley (optional, for garnish)
• Optional: ½ tsp chili flakes (for a little heat)

📌 Step-by-Step Cooking Instructions 🔥

1️⃣ Sauté the Sweet Potatoes

Heat 1 tbsp olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add sweet potatoes and cook, stirring occasionally, for about 8-10 minutes, until they start to soften and develop a golden crust.

💡 Pro Tip: To speed up the cooking process, cover the skillet for the first 5 minutes, then uncover to let them crisp up!

2️⃣ Add Flavor & Aroma

Push the sweet potatoes to one side of the pan. Add the remaining 1 tbsp oil, then toss in the onions and garlic. Sauté until fragrant and caramelized, about 3 minutes.

💡 The trick here? Don’t rush! Let those onions turn golden for extra sweetness and depth.

3️⃣ Crack in the Eggs 🍳

Use a spoon to create small wells in the hash. Gently crack an egg into each well. Reduce heat to medium-low, cover the pan, and cook until the egg whites are set but yolks are still runny (about 4-5 minutes).

Want firmer yolks? Let them cook for an extra minute!

4️⃣ Finishing Touches

Sprinkle with salt, pepper, smoked paprika, and fresh parsley. If you’re feeling fancy, add a little crumbled feta or a drizzle of hot sauce for extra flair!

📌 Serving & Pairing Ideas

🥑 With Avocado – Creamy avocado balances the crispy hash perfectly.
🥓 Add Bacon – Crumble crispy bacon on top for extra indulgence.
🌿 Fresh Herbs – Try cilantro or chives for a fresh burst of flavor.
🔥 Hot Sauce or Salsa – A spicy kick makes this dish next-level good!

🛑 Leftovers? Store the sweet potato hash (without eggs) in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days. Reheat in a skillet before adding fresh eggs.
