    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

    Sweet Potato Breakfast Hash

    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!

      I need to invest in a good cast iron skillet! That one you posted looks good and affordable. Is that the one you use?

      I know from reading your blog that Red is more of the cooker and you are more of a baker. And as soon as I saw the blog post I wondered if this was Red’s contribution 😉 Hubby makes certain things so much better than me and I just stay out of his way…..well, not right out of his way….more like sit and watch and then get to eat it, lol 😀 Hubby does a wonderful job with homemade pasta! So good! So this hash! Love the sweet potato in there and this is just what I want on Saturday or Sunday morning while I’m lazily waking up with a big cup of coffee. Yum!!! Happy Monday 🙂

        HAHAHA did you really? I knew I had to come clean. There was no way I can get away with it. ONE DAY though. I will cook something 🙂 This hash is something else (I feel guilty now, I think I must call it Red’s Breakfast Hash from now on teehee). Love it! If we need something quick and easy and there are things in the fridge nearing the end of their lives…hash day! Have a lovely week Dawn!

      Oh, yum! Hash is one of my family’s favorite breakfast foods. We’ve just recently started eating a lot of sweet potatoes, so this may be something we try. I had never thought of using sweet potatoes before.

      Oh man, I LOVE a good breakfast hash. This is a go-to for our family for cleaning out the fridge. I go back and forth with sweet potatoes and red potatoes. My kids have been picky about sweet potatoes lately (why???), so we’ve been using the reds. But I love them both!!

        LOL your kids are hilarious Mary. Maybe the colour looks weird for a potato? 🙂 Breakfast hash is great though eh? Just see what’s available and throw them together in the pan. Such a good and filling breakfast!
