Ingredients
  • 2 medium Sweet Potatoes
  • 4 oz Spicy Chorizo (compliant)
  • 1 medium (any color) Bell Pepper
  • 1/2 medium Onion
  • 2 cloves Garlic
  • 2 tablespoons Olive Oil
  • to taste Salt
  • to taste Black Pepper
  • 1/2 teaspoon Smoked Paprika
  • 2-4 Eggs

Preparation

Peel the sweet potatoes and dice them into small, even cubes. Dice the bell pepper and onion. Mince the garlic. Remove the chorizo from its casing (if applicable) and crumble it.

Cooking the Hash

Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the crumbled chorizo and cook until browned and crispy, about 5-7 minutes. Remove the chorizo from the skillet and set aside, leaving the rendered fat in the pan.

Add the diced sweet potatoes, bell pepper, and onion to the skillet with the chorizo fat. Season with salt, pepper, and smoked paprika. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the sweet potatoes are tender and slightly caramelized, about 15-20 minutes. If the vegetables start to stick, add a tablespoon or two of water to deglaze the pan.

Stir in the minced garlic and cook for another minute until fragrant. Add the cooked chorizo back to the skillet and mix everything together.

Cooking the Eggs (Optional)

You can cook eggs directly in the hash or separately. For in-hash cooking, create wells in the hash mixture. Crack an egg into each well. Cover the skillet and cook until the eggs are cooked to your liking, about 3-5 minutes for runny yolks. For separate cooking, cook eggs in a pan as you desire, before adding to the serving.

Serving

Divide the sweet potato hash among plates. Top with the cooked eggs (if not already incorporated). Serve immediately.
