Step-by-Step Guide to Making the Sweet Potato Breakfast Hash Skillet

Let’s get cooking! Making this sweet potato breakfast hash skillet is a simple joy. It comes together quickly in just one pan. Grab your favorite skillet and let’s start this delicious journey.

Making the Perfect Sweet Potato Breakfast Hash Skillet

First, get your skillet nice and warm over medium heat with a tablespoon of olive oil. Add your diced sweet potatoes. Let them cook for about 10 to 12 minutes. Stir them now and then so they cook evenly and get nice and tender. Next, toss in your chopped onion and bell pepper. Cook these for another 5 to 7 minutes. You want them to get soft and fragrant. If you’re adding sausage or bacon, now’s the time! Stir it all together.

Adding Eggs to Your Sweet Potato Breakfast Hash Skillet

Now for the best part! Make a few little spaces, or wells, in your hash mixture. Carefully crack an egg into each well. You can use 2 eggs or up to 4, depending on how many hungry people you’re serving. Cover the skillet with a lid. This helps the eggs cook gently. Let it cook for about 3 to 5 minutes. You’re looking for the egg whites to be set, but the yolks still nice and runny, or cooked however you like them!

Tips for the Best Sweet Potato Breakfast Hash Skillet

It makes all the difference.
