I love to make sweet potato hash for breakfast.  And I love having breakfast for dinner!!  Especially after a long day at work when I’m not much in the mood for messing up my kitchen in a big way.  I’ve always made breakfast potatoes with regular russet potatoes, then somewhere along the way I started making this sweet potato hash recipe instead and have become a little obsessed with it.  If you haven’t had sweet potatoes for breakfast before, you don’t know what you’re missing!

How To Cook Sweet Potato Hash

  • Sweet Potato Preparation: Peel the Sweet Potatoes.
  • Cut the Sweet Potatoes:Cut the potatoes into small cubes.
  • Boil the sweet potatoes: Boil the sweet potatoes for a few minutes to start the cooking process.  They’ll cook in the skillet much faster if they’re quickly boiled first.
  • Add onions and peppers (red and/or green):While the sweet potatoes are simmering in the pot of water, cook onions and peppers in a well-oiled skilled so they’re a tad golden before adding the potatoes to the mix.
  • Add Sweet Potatoes: Next drain the sweet potatoes and add in the sweet potato and add them to the skillet with the onion and pepper.
  • Season: As the potatoes start to turn crispy, generously season with sea salt and freshly cracked black pepper.
