Sweet Potato Hash
Sweet potato hash is truly one of the most glorious things in life. Not much beats crispy sweet potato in a pan. Well, until we add a few other goodies that it. Introducing –
Sweet Potato Breakfast Hash
If I’m making regular sweet potato hash it’s usually to go alongside something else. I really wanted to develop a recipe that includes sweet potato hash, that’s all in one pan and enough to comfortably feed 4. Taking inspiration from the Shakshuka I uploaded a few weeks ago, I think I succeeded!
Can I use regular potato for this recipe?
This breakfast hash is a little smoky and a little spicy; which blends perfectly with the sweet tones of the sweet potato. White potatoes will work, but you lose out on that gorgeous contrast of flavour that the sweet potato gives you.

Sweet Potato Hash with Eggs
For me, the eggs truly make this breakfast. One condition – the yolk HAS to be runny. To achieve this you want to pop the skillet in the oven as soon as the eggs are cracked in. Pop it to a fairly low temp (180C/350F) and bake for 10mins, or until the eggs are JUST set. It’s important to only cook until they’re just about set as they will continue cooking slightly once removed from the oven.
Variations and Subs
Egg – You could make the sweet potato hash and the egg separately. For example if you prefer poached or scrambled egg. Chorizo – This could be subbed for bacon or pancetta, but you do miss out on a little flavour. Parsley – Sub for coriander/cilantro if you like it!
Do I have to bake this in the oven?
The alternative is popping a lid on the so the steam cooks the eggs. The only negative to this is you lose out on a little crispiness from the potatoes. Not a deal breaker though, so if your skillet isn’t oven safe then you can do this.
How Spicy is this recipe?
It’s got a very gentle kick of spice; nothing overpowering. If you’re at all wary of spice just reduce the amount of jalapeño.
What can I serve with Sweet Potato Breakfast Hash?
The sweet potato hash itself is pretty hearty, but if you like a little extra something then served with avocado slices/smashed avocado. Oh and a light sprinkling of parsley or coriander/cilantro. Alrighty, let’s tuck into the full recipe for this Sweet Potato Breakfast Hash shall we?!
