Ingredients
- 4 lices Bacon cut into ½-inch thick pieces
- 1 onion diced, small
- 1 red bell pepper diced
- 1 sweet potato peeled and diced into ½-inch cubes (approx 4 cups cubes, large
- 2 cups kale leaves roughly chopped
- ¼ teaspoon cumin
- ¼ teaspoon garlic powder
- ¼ teaspoon paprika
- salt to taste, Kosher salt and freshly ground
- black pepper to taste, Kosher salt and freshly ground
- 4 egg
- 1 green onion sliced
Instructions
- Heat a large saute pan on medium heat. Add the bacon and saute until golden and crispy. Use a slotted spoon to remove the bacon to a paper towel or small bowl.
- Add the diced onion and red bell pepper to the pan and saute for one minute to soften.
- Add the diced sweet potato and spices to the pan. Cook the sweet potato for 10 to 12 minutes, stirring often. Place a lid on the pan for the last 5 minutes to soften the sweet potato until fork tender.
- Add the bacon back into the pan along with the kale and stir for an additional 1 to 2 minutes or until the kale is wilted.
- Use a spatula to create 4 wells in the hash. Crack an egg into each well and cook until the eggs are done to your liking. You can add a lid to the pan to cook the eggs through faster.
- Remove the breakfast hash from the heat. Season with salt and pepper and top with sliced green onion. Serve immediately.

Notes
- A cast iron pan that holds and distributes heat evenly works well for cooking this hash.
