Chef's Tips

For an extra layer of flavor, top with a fried egg or a dollop of Greek yogurt before serving. Ensure your quinoa is fully cooked and fluffed before adding it to the hash for the best texture.

Easy Substitutions

If Peruvian sweet potatoes are unavailable, use regular orange sweet potatoes. For a milder flavor, omit the aji amarillo paste and use a pinch of paprika instead. Spinach or kale can be added with the cilantro for extra greens.
