Ingredients
  

Ingredients
  • 4 slices bacon (cut into ½-inch thick pieces)
  • 1 small onion (diced)
  • 1 red bell pepper (diced)
  • 1 large sweet potato (peeled and diced into ½-inch cubes, approx 4 cups)
  • 2 cups kale leaves (roughly chopped)
  • ¼ teaspoon cumin
  • ¼ teaspoon garlic powder
  • ¼ teaspoon paprika
  • kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper (to taste)
  • 4 eggs
  • 1 green onion (sliced)

Equipment

  • large saute pan
  • slotted spoon
  • spatula

Method
 

Instructions
  1. Heat a large saute pan on medium heat. Add the bacon and saute until golden and crispy. Use a slotted spoon to remove the bacon to a paper towel or small bowl.
  2. Add the diced onion and red bell pepper to the pan and saute for one minute to soften.
  3. Add the diced sweet potato and spices to the pan. Cook the sweet potato for 10-12 minutes, stirring often. Place a lid on the pan for the last 5 minutes to soften the sweet potato until fork tender.
  4. Add the bacon back into the pan along with the kale and stir for an additional 1-2 minutes or until the kale is wilted.
  5. Use a spatula to create 4 wells in the hash. Crack an egg into each well and cook until the eggs are done to your liking. You can add a lid to the pan to cook the eggs through faster.
  6. Remove the breakfast hash from the heat. Season with salt and pepper and top with sliced green onion. Serve immediately.

Notes

Cut sweet potatoes into uniform ½-inch cubes for even cooking. Don't overcrowd the pan - cook in batches if needed. Eggs will continue cooking after removing from heat, so undercook slightly if you prefer runny yolks.
