If you’re looking for a fast, hot breakfast idea, may we suggest this bacon sweet-potato hash? It whips up in under 30 minutes using just 5 ingredients (salt and pepper, not included!). Sweet potatoes are a nutritious upgrade for hash, adding more fiber and vitamin A.
Bacon Sweet-Potato Hash
Ingredients
- 4 slices (28 grams each) bacon
- 2 medium (130 grams each) sweet potatoes, diced into 1/4- to 1/2-inch chunks
- 1/2 medium (55 grams) onion, finely diced
- 1 (5-ounce or 140 grams) spinach bag or container
- Salt and pepper, to taste
- 2 large (50 grams each) eggs
Directions
Heat a medium skillet over medium-high heat, and add bacon. Cook bacon until the fat is rendered and bacon is crispy. Remove bacon, and set aside.
Add the sweet potatoes to the skillet and cook for about 10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until potato chunks blacken in bits. Add the onions, and cook for another 3 minutes. Add the spinach, and tear in the bacon slices. Cook until spinach is wilted. Sprinkle with salt and pepper to taste.
Lower the heat to medium-low. Use the spatula to create two holes in the hash mixture. Break one egg into each hole. Cook the eggs until desired doneness.
Portion out onto 2 plates, and serve.
