Sweet Potato and Bacon Hash

Sweet Potato and Bacon Hash is a satisfying breakfast or brunch recipe full of onions, sweet potatoes and bacon flavor topped with a fried egg

Most mornings I have my Protein Pancakes for breakfast.

I am one of those people that gets out of bed and immediately walks into the kitchen to eat.

Immediately.

It’s all I can think about.

But having the same breakfast every single morning can get old after awhile, even if I change it with different flavors {like pumpkin or carrot cake pancakes}.

So I made this Sweet Potato and Bacon Hash.

Here’s why I love it:

there’s an egg in it – I like to eat eggs at breakfast because they are a good source of protein.

the sweet potatoes provide complex carbohydrates and fiber.

it’s full of onions {yay for veggies!}

plus, and this is the best part obvi, there’s bacon.

If you’re looking to change up your breakfast but still want it to be nutritious and enjoyable, I highly suggest this Sweet Potato and Bacon Hash.

If you want it to be vegetarian, just omit the bacon and saute the potatoes & onions in 1 TBSP olive oil or butter.

I love the flavor that the bacon grease adds when you sauté the veggies in it, but it’s not very much. I think two slices bacon only makes about one tablespoon of grease or maybe even less.

Also, you don’t have to use thyme but it really brightens up the flavor.

Dried thyme will also work, but you want to add it when you add the onions to give it time to release its flavor.

Ingredients

• 4 slices center-cut bacon chopped
• 2 medium sweet potatoes diced
• 1 medium yellow onion diced
• 1 medium red onion diced
• 2 cloves garlic minced
• 1 tsp fresh thyme or 1/4 tsp crumbled dried thyme
• 1/2 tsp salt
• 4 large eggs

Instructions

• In a large skillet, cook the bacon over medium heat. Remove and put on paper towels. Keep bacon droppings in pan (it's around 1 tablespoon)
• Turn heat up to medium high and add sweet potatoes. Let them sit in the pan and cook on one side for 4 minutes then stir and cook another 3 minutes until they are golden and slightly softened.
• Add onions to the pan and sauté for about 10 minutes, stirring occasionally.
• Meanwhile, fry eggs in a non-stick skillet, one at a time.
• Add in garlic, thyme, and salt to the sweet potato mixture. Cook for 2 minutes until very fragrant.
• Serve fried eggs over hash, and sprinkle with reserved bacon. Enjoy!

Notes

*If you don't want to use bacon, omit and sauté the veggies in 1 tablespoon butter or olive oil.

*The hash will still be great without the thyme but the thyme adds a lot of flavor.
