A flavorful and hearty breakfast dish featuring caramelized sweet potatoes, smoky chorizo, and perfectly cooked eggs. This one-pan recipe is quick, easy, and packed with nutrients.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 medium sweet potatoes, peeled and diced into small cubes
  • 6 ounces chorizo, casing removed and crumbled
  • 4 large eggs
  • 1 red bell pepper, diced
  • 1 green bell pepper, diced
  • 1 medium onion (yellow or red), diced
  • 23 cloves garlic, minced
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • Salt and pepper, to taste
  • 1/2 teaspoon smoked paprika
  • Fresh parsley or cilantro, chopped (for garnish)

Instructions

  1. Peel and dice the sweet potatoes into small, even cubes (about ½ inch). Dice the bell peppers and onion, and mince the garlic.
  2. Heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Once the oil is shimmering, add the sweet potatoes and season with a pinch of salt and pepper. Sauté for about 7-10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until they begin to soften and develop golden edges.
  3. Add the diced onion and bell peppers to the skillet. Cook for another 5-7 minutes, or until the vegetables are tender and the sweet potatoes are fully cooked.
  4. Push the vegetables to one side of the skillet to make room for the chorizo. Add the chorizo to the empty space and cook, breaking it apart with your spatula, until it’s browned and fully cooked—about 5 minutes.
  5. Mix the chorizo into the sweet potato and vegetable mixture. Sprinkle in ½ teaspoon of smoked paprika for an extra kick of flavor, and stir well to combine.
  6. Using your spatula, create small wells (about 4) in the hash mixture. Crack an egg into each well. Cover the skillet with a lid and cook for 3-5 minutes, or until the egg whites are set but the yolks are still runny. If you prefer firmer yolks, cook for an extra minute or two.
  7. Remove the skillet from heat and garnish with chopped parsley or cilantro. Serve immediately while hot.

Notes

[‘Cut sweet potatoes into uniform pieces for even cooking.’, ‘Avoid overcrowding the pan to ensure proper caramelization.’, ‘Adjust heat if sweet potatoes are browning too quickly.’, ‘Add spices like cumin or chili powder for extra flavor.’, ‘For runny yolks, monitor the eggs closely while cooking.’]
