✎
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 and cook, stirring occasionally, for 10-12 minutes, or until tender and lightly browned.

03

Stir in the diced red onion and minced garlic. Cook for another 3-4 minutes, until the onion softens.

04

Add the aji amarillo paste, ground cumin, salt, and black pepper. Stir well to combine and cook for 1 minute, allowing the flavors to meld.

05

Stir in the chopped cilantro and remove the hash from the skillet, setting it aside.

06

In the same skillet, add a little more olive oil if needed, then crack the 4 eggs directly into the pan. Fry the eggs to your desired doneness (e.g., 2-3 minutes for runny yolks, 4-5 minutes for firm yolks) over medium-low heat.

07

Divide the sweet potato hash among four plates. Top each serving with a fried egg and garnish with additional fresh cilantro.

08

Serve immediately and enjoy this flavorful Peruvian-inspired breakfast.

Chef's Tips

For extra crispiness, spread the sweet potatoes in a single layer and avoid overcrowding the pan. A cast iron skillet works wonderfully for achieving a good sear on the hash.
↔

Easy Substitutions

If aji amarillo paste is unavailable, you can substitute with a pinch of cayenne pepper and a squeeze of lime juice for a similar flavor profile. Regular potatoes can be used instead of sweet potatoes, though the cooking time may vary slightly.

Storage & Reheating

Store leftover sweet potato hash in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat gently in a skillet or microwave. Fried eggs are best enjoyed fresh.
