Ingredients
  

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

Equipment

  • Large saute pan
  • Spatula
  • Slotted spoon

Method
 

  1. Heat a large saute pan on medium heat. Add the bacon and saute until golden and crispy. 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 for 10 to 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 to 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.
