    Sweet Potato Breakfast Hash

    This sweet potato breakfast hash is delicious and filling. And with all the best things about breakfast – potatoes, sausages, bacon and eggs – in one pan, it’s a great way to start your day!

    (Prefer a savoury breakfast to a sweet one? You’ll enjoy these cheddar waffles packed with jalapeno. Perfect with fried egg!)

    Sweet Potato Breakfast Hash

    Let me start with this disclosure: I did not make this sweet potato breakfast hash. Red did.

    Those of you who know me and who’ve followed my blog know that I cannot cook (our stove hates me and hot oil scares me) so Red does all the cooking at home.

    I will still take credit for the recipe though. I mean, I deserve it!

    Have you ever followed around a grumpy cook, constantly asking “what are you doing now?” in the hopes of documenting a recipe?

    And then proceeding to take pictures of the food while said cook who you’ve annoyed all morning sits there giving you the evil eye, waiting, hungry and grumpier than ever?

    I think not. So say no more. I do what I must to bring you the best, the most delicious recipes. And delicious, this sweet potato breakfast hash is!

    Great way to clean out your fridge

    It’s also a great way to clean out your fridge.

    If you’ve ever looked in there and thought what the heck are you going to do with that lone sausage, few strips of bacon, half a bell pepper and other things leftover from your other recipes – make a hash!

    You just need to have a piece of sweet potato as base, some eggs, and you have yourself a dish that the whole family will enjoy.

    You can use a normal potato; we personally just prefer a sweet potato – we find it so much more flavourful and it brings a delightful sweetness to this savoury dish.

    You can experiment with the toppings too. No bacon? Add ham. No sausage? Add hotdog (why not? It’s your hash).

    Then all you need to do is start cooking your ingredients in the stove and finish it in the oven. For how long depends on how you want your eggs.

    Great start to the day

    Sweet Potato Breakfast Hash

    This sweet potato breakfast hash is so filling and delicious and takes no time at all.

    Love potatoes and sweet potatoes? Try this ground turkey sweet potato skillet and potato latkes recipe. This spinach egg casserole is another hearty start to the day!

    It’s also a great alternative to pancakes and other sweet breakfast options…though it goes great with pancakes too if you’re thinking of doing an epic breakfast spread.

    So tonight, have a look in your fridge. You may just have a delicious breakfast hash in your future tomorrow!

    Happy cooking and baking!

        Hi Coral, this can feed 2-4 adults. It really depends how hungry everyone is that morning 🙂

      Could this be (before putting the egg in) put into little containers and stored in the freezer/fridge? I think I would be the only one eating this if I made it, and so I’d like to be able to just make some, put most of it away until I’m going to eat more, and then I can take it out, throw in the egg, and bake it. Looks delicious.

        Hi Paige. We haven’t actually done that so I can’t say for sure. What we usually do is cook it, bake then store the leftovers (with egg and everything) in the fridge. We reheat in the microwave and apart from the egg being more well done, it tastes just as good! Lasts 3 days or so. I think your plan would work too (my only concern is the sweet potato getting too soggy but baking might solve that). Good luck and enjoy!

      This looks so tasty. I made something similar to this. It had sweet potatoes, kale and topped with an egg. So good!

      I feel like you and I are on the same page. It is always my mission to finish off all the fresh food in my fridge before my next sojourn to the market. I make similar breakfasts to yours – lovely by the way – as a good method to get good value for money.

      This would be a good breakfast and a great way to clean out the fridge as well. I will have to buy these ingredients though. However, I think I can make this hash everyday for free if I go over to my mom’s house. Her fridge needs some cleaning out. LOL.

        LOL yeah, I think all mom fridges need a little help getting cleaned out! I bet I’d find stuff in my mom’s fridge from November or something.

      This looks so good – I’ve been doing a lot of fridge cleaning this way here of late. It seems like just about anything will work with some eggs and potatoes. Hash is one of my favorite ways to use up little bits of leftover meats and veggies.

        It’s a great way to use up all those odd ingredients right? And so good. Different variations too depending on what you have in the fridge 🙂 And yes, eggs + potatoes is always a great idea!
