Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 pound breakfast sausage, casings removed
  • 1 medium sweet potato, peeled and diced into 1/2-inch cubes
  • 1/2 cup chopped onion
  • 1/4 cup chopped bell pepper (any color)
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1/2 teaspoon smoked paprika
  • 1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper (optional)
  • Salt and black pepper to taste
  • 2 large eggs
  • Fresh parsley, chopped, for garnish

Instructions

  1. Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat.
  2. Add breakfast sausage and cook, breaking it up with a spoon, until browned. Remove sausage from skillet and set aside, leaving drippings in the pan.
  3. Add diced sweet potato to the skillet. Cook for 8-10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until tender and slightly browned.
  4. Add chopped onion and bell pepper to the skillet. Cook for 5-7 minutes, until softened.
  5. Stir in minced garlic, smoked paprika, and cayenne pepper (if using). Cook for 1 minute until fragrant.
  6. Return the cooked sausage to the skillet. Season with salt and black pepper to taste. Stir to combine.
  7. Make two wells in the hash mixture. Crack an egg into each well.
  8. Cover the skillet and cook for 3-5 minutes, or until the egg whites are set and the yolks are cooked to your preference.
  9. Garnish with fresh chopped parsley before serving.

Notes

  • For crispier sweet potatoes, you can par-boil them before adding them to the skillet.
  • Feel free to add other vegetables like mushrooms or spinach.
  • Adjust the cayenne pepper to control the level of heat.
