A quick, wholesome, and satisfying Whole30-compliant breakfast hash featuring sweet potatoes, ground pork sausage, and eggs with a perfect balance of warmth, spice, and richness.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 medium sweet potatoes, peeled and diced into ½-inch cubes
  • 1 pound ground pork sausage (high-quality, natural, no added sugars or fillers)
  • 1 small yellow onion, finely chopped
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 medium bell pepper (red or orange), diced
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil or avocado oil
  • 1 teaspoon fresh thyme or rosemary, chopped (optional)
  • Sea salt and black pepper, to taste
  • 4 large eggs, preferably pasture-raised and at room temperature
  • ½ teaspoon smoked paprika (optional)
  • A pinch of red pepper flakes (optional)

Instructions

  1. Peel and dice the sweet potatoes into ½-inch cubes. Chop the onion and bell pepper finely. Mince the garlic cloves.
  2. Heat 1 tablespoon of oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the ground pork sausage, breaking it up with a spatula. Cook for 5-7 minutes until browned and cooked through. Remove sausage from the skillet and set aside.
  3. Add the remaining 1 tablespoon of oil to the skillet. Toss in the sweet potatoes and a pinch of salt. Cook over medium heat, stirring occasionally, for about 10 minutes until they start to soften and brown.
  4. Stir in the chopped onion and bell pepper, cooking for another 5 minutes until the onion is translucent and the vegetables are tender. Add the garlic, fresh herbs, smoked paprika, and red pepper flakes. Stir well and cook for 1-2 more minutes until fragrant.
  5. Return the cooked sausage to the skillet. Mix everything thoroughly and cook together for 2-3 minutes to marry the flavors. Taste and adjust seasoning with salt and pepper.
  6. In a separate non-stick pan or in the same skillet pushed to the side, cook the eggs to your liking—sunny-side up or over-easy are recommended for runny yolks.
  7. Spoon the hot hash onto plates and top each serving with one egg. Serve immediately.

Notes

For softer sweet potatoes, cover the skillet with a lid during cooking to steam them slightly. Avoid overcrowding the pan to ensure the sweet potatoes brown nicely. Use fresh herbs like thyme or rosemary to brighten the dish. Cook eggs low and slow for perfect runny yolks. This recipe is adaptable for vegetarian or leaner protein options.
