Ingredients
For the sweet potato hash:
- 8 ounces Bacon finely chopped (see note 1)
- 1 medium onion diced (see note 2)
- 1 medium red bell pepper stemmed, seeded, and diced (see note 3)
- 2 pounds sweet potatoes peeled and chopped into 1-inch cubes (see note 4)
- 1 teaspoon chopped fresh thyme
- Salt and freshly ground black pepper
For serving:
- 1 loaf crusty bread or challah sliced into 8 slices
- 4 tablespoons butter softened
- 8 large eggs (cook in butter or reserved bacon fat)
Instructions
To make the hash:
- In a large skillet over medium heat, fry bacon until crisp, about 5 minutes. Using a slotted spoon, transfer bacon to a napkin-lined plate. Leave bacon fat in the skillet (or reserve a few tablespoons for cooking eggs if desired).
- Add onion and red pepper. Cook until softened, stirring occasionally, about 5 minutes.
- Stir in sweet potatoes, 1/2 teaspoon salt, and 1/4 teaspoon pepper. Cover and cook, stirring occasionally, until softened and the sweet potatoes begin to brown, about 10 to 15 minutes.
- Stir in bacon and thyme to skillet and season to taste with salt and pepper. Serve with grilled bread and fried eggs if desired.
To serve:
- Heat a medium nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Spread each slice of bread with 1 teaspoon butter on one side and place butter-side down in the skillet to grill. Heat until lightly golden brown. Remove from heat and cover to keep warm while preparing the eggs.
- Heat reserved bacon fat or butter in a nonstick skillet and fry eggs to desired doneness. This may be done with all eggs at once or in batches. Season the eggs to taste with salt and pepper.
Notes
- Bacon: Or diced pancetta. For a vegetarian option, omit the pork products entirely and use 2 tablespoons olive oil for cooking the veggies in Step #2.
- Onions: Yellow onions or white onions are classic in this recipe.
- Red bell pepper: These perk up the colors in this skillet recipe, but you can't go wrong with yellow, orange, or green bell pepper, either.
- Sweet potato: Orange, purple, or whatever hue you desire. Or swap in regular russet potatoes.
- Yield: This Sweet Potato Hash with Bacon makes eight generous servings. For hearty appetites, top each scoop with two or three eggs instead of one, and have plenty of bread handy to sop up any runny yolk goodness.
- Storage: Store leftovers covered in the refrigerator for up to 4 days.
