Sweet Potato Hash Eggs Smashed Avo Food

SOUTHWESTERN SWEET POTATO HASH WITH EGGS

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 425˚ F. Put the bacon on a 9-by-13-inch rimmed baking sheet or baking dish and bake until crisp, 6 to 8 minutes. Remove to a paper towel-lined plate with a slotted spoon, leaving the drippings on the baking sheet. Add the sweet potato, red onion and bell pepper to the baking sheet and season with the chili powder, 1/2 teaspoon salt and a few grinds of pepper; toss well to coat. Bake until the vegetables are tender and browned, about 18 minutes.
• Meanwhile, thinly slice the vegetables from the salad kit and transfer to a large bowl. In a medium bowl, whisk the dressing from the salad kit with the sour cream and lime juice; set aside.
• Stir the lime zest into the vegetables on the baking sheet and make 4 wells in the mixture; crack 1 egg into each. Bake until the egg whites are almost set, 6 to 8 minutes. Sprinkle the eggs with the Mexican cheese blend and the shredded cheese from the salad kit. Continue to bake until the cheese melts, 2 more minutes.
• Sprinkle the salad over the hash and drizzle with the dressing mixture. Top with the tortilla strips from the salad kit and the bacon and cilantro. Serve with hot sauce.

SWEET POTATO HASH WITH FRIED EGGS

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.
• Place the sweet potatoes on a baking sheet, puncture with a fork, and roast until tender but still slightly underdone, about 30 minutes. Remove from the oven and let cool. Peel and cut into 1-inch cubes; set aside.
• In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the garlic, onions and peppers and cook until soft, about 5 minutes. Add the diced sweet potatoes and some salt and pepper; continue to cook, stirring occasionally, until the potatoes are cooked through, 10 to 15 minutes. Turn the heat to low and stir in the spinach.
• Melt the butter in a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat and fry the eggs until the whites are set and the yolks are still runny. Spoon the hash onto four plates and top each serving with a fried egg. Garnish with basil and Parmesan.

DECONSTRUCTED SWEET POTATO HASH WITH FRIED EGGS

Steps:

• Melt 4 tablespoons butter in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add 4 sage leaves and fry quickly until crisp, about 30 seconds. Transfer to a paper towel lined plate to drain. Reserve.
• Add the sweet potatoes to the skillet, toss until coated in the butter, then add the water and the remaining 8 sage leaves. Bring the water to a simmer and cook the potatoes, uncovered, until the water has evaporated and the potatoes are just fork tender, about 10 minutes. If there is any excess water in the pan, remove it with a large spoon and reserve. Continue cooking the potatoes, scraping the pan frequently with a spoon, until crusty brown, about 10 more minutes. Add a tablespoon of the leftover cooking liquid or fresh water if the potatoes stick or begin to scorch.
• Meanwhile, melt 2 tablespoons of the butter in a medium skillet over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and cook, adding water as necessary when the pan gets dry, until deep golden brown, about 20 minutes. Transfer the onions to a serving bowl. Wipe out the pan, add the remaining 2 tablespoons butter, and fry the eggs, 2 at a time, to your preference. Cook's Note: I like mine over easy.
• Plate the potatoes in the center of 4 plates with the caramelized onions alongside. Top each plate with 2 fried eggs, garnish with a fried sage leaf and enjoy!
• Cook's Note: Serve with your favorite breakfast meat.
