Ingredients
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 0.5 yellow onion (medium, chopped)
- 1 clove garlic (minced)
- 1 cup pre-cooked diced potatoes
- 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
- 0.25 teaspoon ground cumin
- 2 eggs (large)
- 0.25 cup cheddar cheese (shredded)
- 0.75 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper (freshly ground)
- 12 ounce frozen sweet potato fries
- 2 tablespoon fresh cilantro (chopped)
Instructions
- Preheat oven or air fryer to 400°F (200°C). Cook 12 ounces frozen sweet potato fries according to package directions, typically 15-20 minutes, until crispy. These will cook in parallel with the hash.
- Meanwhile, heat 1 tablespoon olive oil in a large non-stick skillet over medium heat. Add 1/2 chopped yellow onion and cook until softened, about 3 minutes.
- Stir in 1 clove minced garlic and cook for 1 minute.
- Add 1 cup pre-cooked diced potatoes to the skillet, along with 1 teaspoon smoked paprika and 1/4 teaspoon ground cumin. Toss to combine and cook for 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until potatoes are lightly browned and heated through. Season with salt and black pepper to taste.
- Make two small wells in the hash and crack 2 large eggs into them. Cover the skillet and cook for 3-5 minutes, or until the egg whites are set and the yolks are to your desired runniness.
- Sprinkle 1/4 cup shredded cheddar cheese over the eggs and cover again for 1 minute, allowing the cheese to melt.
- Serve the egg hash immediately with the crispy sweet potato fries. Garnish with fresh cilantro or parsley if desired.
Notes
To speed up potato cooking, ensure they are already pre-cooked. Leftover hash is delicious for breakfast the next day!
