HOW TO MAKE IT

Let's cook.

01

Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a large non-stick skillet over medium heat.

02

Add the diced sweet potatoes to the skillet. Cook for 10-12 minutes, stirring occasionally, until they begin to soften and lightly brown.

03

Stir in the chopped red onion and diced red bell pepper. Continue to cook for another 5-7 minutes, until the vegetables are tender-crisp.

04

Add the ground cumin, smoked paprika, salt, and black pepper to the skillet. Stir well to combine and cook for 1 minute more, allowing the spices to become fragrant.

05

Create four small wells in the hash mixture. Crack one egg into each well.

06

Cover the skillet and cook for 5-7 minutes, or until the egg whites are set and the yolks are cooked to your desired doneness (runny, jammy, or firm).

07

Remove the skillet from the heat. Garnish with fresh chopped cilantro before serving.

08

Serve immediately, directly from the skillet or portioned onto plates.

Chef's Tips

For extra flavor, add a pinch of aji amarillo paste with the spices. Ensure your skillet is truly non-stick for easy egg removal. Don't overcrowd the pan; if making a larger batch, cook the hash in two batches.
↔

Easy Substitutions

You can substitute regular potatoes for sweet potatoes, though the flavor profile will change. Green bell pepper can be used instead of red. For a vegetarian option, omit the eggs and serve with avocado slices.

Storage & Reheating

Leftover hash can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat gently in a skillet over medium-low heat until warmed through. Fried eggs are best enjoyed fresh.
