- Add the chopped peppers, onions, and garlic to the sweet potatoes. Then add the thyme leaves, paprika, 1 ¼ teaspoons salt, and ¼ teaspoon ground black pepper. Toss well, and spread the hash out evenly on the baking sheet.
- Bake for 15 minutes. Then flip with a spatula and spread out again. Bake another 15 minutes.
- Flip the hash one more time. Then sprinkle the diced prosciutto over the top. Bake for another 10-15 minutes until the prosciutto is crispy. Mix and serve warm.

- Russet potatoes can replace sweet potatoes if you prefer a more traditional potato flavor.
- Ensure even cubing of sweet potatoes for uniform roasting.
- Flipping the hash halfway and again after adding prosciutto helps achieve even cooking and crispness.
