What Is Potato Hash?

Potato hash is a breakfast dish consisting of diced potatoes, onions, peppers, and dried spices. Once the veggies are tender, the eggs are added and the pan is then moved into the oven to finish the cooking process.

How to Make Bacon Sweet Potato Hash

Making this recipe is just like making your favorite hash, but with sweet potatoes! It’s easy.

• Cook the bacon. Preheat the oven to 400F. Add the bacon to a large skillet over medium heat. Let it cook for 4-5 minutes, or until crispy. Remove the bacon and set it to drain on a paper towel-lined plate.

• Cook the sweet potatoes. Add the sweet potatoes to the skillet. Let them cook for 5-7 minutes or until they start to brown.

• Add the veggies. Place the red onion, pepper, paprika, and salt in the skillet. Stir well and sautée everything for 3-5 minutes or until tender.
• Bake it. Return the bacon to the skillet and stir to combine. Pop it into the oven for 10 minutes. Remove it from the oven.

• Add the eggs. Make 6 wells in the potato mixture and add an egg to each one. Return the skillet to the oven and cook until the eggs are cooked to your desired doneness. I cook mine for 5-7 minutes.

• Serve it. Remove the skillet from the oven. Add sliced avocados and chives on top. Serve and enjoy.

Recipe Tips & Variations

A couple of ingredients can bring new life to this simple sweet potato hash recipe.

• Use potatoes. Don’t worry if you’re out of sweet potatoes. Regular potatoes make an amazing breakfast hash too.
• Make it spicy. Sprinkle in 1/4 teaspoon of cayenne pepper or red pepper flakes for a bit of heat.
• Add cheese. Top the hash with 1/4-1/2 cup of melty cheese. The cheese pull once it’s out of the oven is just unbeatable.
• Use leftovers. Feel free to throw in leftover veggies like broccoli florets or zucchini into the mix. Roasted potatoes are great too.

How to Store & Reheat Leftovers

Once fully cooled, refrigerate the leftovers in an airtight container for up to 5 days. To reheat it, microwave it for up to a minute or until warm. You can also heat it in a pan over medium heat for 6-7 minutes, stirring occasionally. The oven works too at 350F for 5-10 minutes. Unfortunately, this recipe doesn’t freeze well.
