Loaded One-Pan Sweet Potato Hash is a hearty, all-in-one skillet meal featuring crispy sweet potatoes, savory protein, colorful veggies, and warm spices—often finished with eggs and fresh herbs for a satisfying brunch or dinner.

Ingredients

  1. 2–3 medium sweet potatoes, peeled and cubed
  2. 2 tbsp olive oil or butter
  3. 1 medium onion, diced
  4. 1–2 bell peppers, diced
  5. 8 oz sausage, bacon, or vegan protein
  6. 1 tsp smoked paprika
  7. 1/2 tsp garlic powder
  8. 1/2 tsp dried thyme
  9. 1/4 tsp cumin
  10. Salt and black pepper to taste
  11. Optional: 1 apple, diced; 1 cup kale or spinach; 1 cup cooked black beans
  12. 4–6 eggs (optional)
  13. Fresh herbs or shredded cheese for garnish

Instructions

Cook protein: Heat 1 tbsp oil in a large cast iron or heavy skillet over medium heat. Cook sausage, bacon, or vegan alternative until browned and crisp. Remove from pan and set aside.

  1. Sauté aromatics: Add remaining oil to skillet. Sauté onion (and apple, if using) until softened, about 3–4 minutes.
  2. Brown sweet potatoes: Add cubed sweet potatoes, sprinkle with smoked paprika, garlic powder, thyme, cumin, salt, and pepper. Cook undisturbed for 4–5 minutes to form a crust, then stir and repeat until tender and golden, about 12–15 minutes total.
  3. Add veggies & protein: Stir in bell peppers, cooked protein, and optional greens. Cook until peppers soften and greens wilt, about 3–4 minutes.
  4. Add eggs (optional): Make small wells in the hash, crack eggs into each, cover, and cook until desired doneness (4–6 minutes for runny yolks).
  5. Serve: Garnish with fresh herbs or cheese, and add hot sauce if desired.

Notes

  1. For extra crispiness, ensure sweet potatoes are dry before cooking.
  2. Avoid overcrowding the pan—work in batches if needed.
  3. For meal prep, cook the hash without eggs; reheat and add fresh eggs before serving.
