Make It Monday: Sweet Potato Breakfast Hash
Ever since my trip to Dirt Bag Ales Farmer’s Market where I tasted Napkins take on Sweet Potato Breakfast hash, I have been experimenting with finding a recipe that I could cook in my home. This recipe is not only gorgeous in color with its rich oranges, deep purples, and gorgeous greens. But once you take a bite, you’ll realize that this is one recipe that you and your family will enjoy from year to year. Roasting the lightly seasoned vegetables brings out the full depth of their flavor to infuse every bite with a rich, savory sweetness that makes this one a true winner.
If necessary, use two half baking sheets or a larger three-quarter size sheet pans to allow enough room to spread the vegetables out in a single layer without overcrowding. This will allow them to roast evenly without steaming.
Tip: For best results, crack each egg into a small bowl before transferring onto the sheet pan. Repeat this process, one egg at a time, until all eggs are on the pan.
Sweet Potato Breakfast Hash
Prep time: 10 minutes
Cook time: 22-28 minutes
Serves: 6
Ingredients:
- 2 large sweet potatoes, peeled and cut into chunks
- 1 lb. small purple potatoes, cut in half
- 8 oz. Brussels sprouts, cut in half
- 1 large red onion, roughly chopped
- 3-4 cloves fresh garlic, minced
- 1 t. onion powder
- 3 T. extra virgin olive oil
- Sea salt and black pepper, to taste
- 6 large eggs
Optional garnish:
2 T. crushed dried herbs of choice
Directions:
- Preheat oven to 425°F and line a large, rimmed baking sheet with parchment paper or a Silpat® baking mat. If using parchment paper, lightly spray with non-stick cooking spray. Set aside.
- In a large mixing bowl, toss sweet potatoes, purple potatoes, Brussels sprouts, red onion, garlic, onion powder, and olive oil until vegetables are well coated. Season with salt and black pepper, to taste.

- Remove sheet pan from oven and create 6 round, evenly spaced openings among the vegetables. Carefully pour an egg into each opening, keeping the yolk intact. Season with additional salt and pepper, if desired, and return pan to the oven.
