Y’all, let me tell you about my grandmother’s secret weapon for winning hearts at every family gathering – her legendary Southern Sweet Potato Breakfast Hash! This isn’t your basic breakfast potato situation; this is the kind of breakfast that makes you want to jump out of bed and do a little happy dance.
I’ve been perfecting this recipe for years (and adding my own little twists, because who doesn’t love to spice things up?), and honey, it’s finally time to share this gem with you!
What you’ll need (trust me, it’s worth the grocery trip):
– 2 large sweet potatoes, diced
– 1 red bell pepper, chopped
– 1 sweet onion, diced
– 4 strips of bacon, chopped
– 2 cloves garlic, minced
– 2 eggs (farm-fresh if you can get them!)
– Fresh thyme
– Salt and pepper to taste
– A pinch of cayenne (because life’s too short for boring food!)
Now, let me walk you through this magic (and yes, you can do this even before your morning coffee):
1. Start by cooking that bacon in a large cast-iron skillet until it’s nice and crispy. Remove it but save that liquid gold (bacon fat) in the pan!
1. Toss in those sweet potatoes and let them get all cozy in the bacon fat for about 10 minutes. Don’t mess with them too much – let them get golden brown on one side before flipping. (This is a perfect time to scroll through your phone, but don’t forget about them!)
_Quick pause because I know you’re drooling! If you’re loving this recipe so far, make sure to follow me on NewsBreak for more mouthwatering recipes that’ll make your family think you secretly attended culinary school! 😉_
1. Add your onions and bell peppers to the party. Let everything dance together for another 5-7 minutes.
1. Throw in that garlic and thyme, and season everything with salt, pepper, and cayenne.
1. Create little wells in your hash and crack those eggs right in there. Cover and cook until the eggs are just how you like them.
1. Sprinkle your bacon bits back on top and serve it up hot!
Y’all, this is the kind of breakfast that makes people propose marriage – no joke! I’ve seen it happen at my brunch gatherings (okay, maybe not literally, but the compliments are REAL).
The best part? You can customize this baby however you want. Sometimes I add mushrooms when I’m feeling fancy, or throw in some spinach to pretend I’m being extra healthy.
Listen, sugar, if you enjoyed this recipe as much as I enjoy my morning coffee (which is A LOT), don’t forget to drop a comment below and share your experience! Did you add your own twist? Did it impress that special someone? I want to hear all about it!
