Ingredients:

• 2 large sweet potatoes, peeled and diced into small cubes
• 1 small onion, finely chopped
• 1 red bell pepper, diced
• 1 green bell pepper, diced
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
• 1/2 teaspoon ground cumin
• 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
• Salt and black pepper to taste
• Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)
• Optional add-ins: cooked bacon or sausage, fried eggs, avocado slices

Instructions:

1. Prepare the sweet potatoes: Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the diced sweet potatoes and cook for 8-10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until they begin to soften and develop a golden-brown color.
2. Cook the vegetables: Push the sweet potatoes to one side of the skillet and add the remaining tablespoon of olive oil. Add the chopped onion and bell peppers to the skillet. Sauté the vegetables for 5-7 minutes until they are tender and slightly caramelized.
3. Season the hash: Stir the sweet potatoes and vegetables together, then add the smoked paprika, ground cumin, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper. Cook for another 2-3 minutes, stirring frequently, until the potatoes are fully cooked and the spices are well combined.
4. Optional add-ins: If you’re adding cooked bacon or sausage, stir them into the hash now. If you’re topping the hash with fried eggs, prepare the eggs in a separate pan while the hash finishes cooking.
5. Serve: Transfer the Sweet Potato Hash to a serving dish and garnish with chopped fresh parsley. Serve hot, with optional toppings like fried eggs or avocado slices for a complete meal.
