Calories: 455kcal
Ingredients
- 2 tablespoons cooking oil
- 2 pounds sweet potatoes peeled and cut into ¼-inch pieces
- 2 tablespoons salted butter
- 1 cup red onion chopped fine
- 2 cloves garlic minced
- ½ teaspoon fresh thyme minced, or ¼ teaspoon dried thyme
- ½ teaspoon chipotle powder
- 1 cup green bell pepper diced
- 2 cups pulled pork
- ⅓ cup heavy cream
- 4 eggs optional
- chives for garnish
- salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
- Heat the cooking oil in a large skillet over medium heat then add the diced sweet potatoes. Cook the potatoes for about 6 minutes or until the potatoes just start to soften. Stir often; they may start to get too brown.
- Sprinkle the sweet potatoes with salt and pepper, then add the butter, chopped onion, and minced garlic. Cook for an additional 2 minutes, stirring often, until the onion starts to soften. Turn the heat down if the onion starts to get too brown.
- Stir in the thyme, chipotle powder, green bell pepper, and pulled pork. Cook for 3–4 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the pork is heated through and the flavors are well combined.
- Pour in the heavy cream and let the mixture simmer for 1 minute. Adjust the seasoning with additional salt and pepper to taste.
- To add eggs, create 4 shallow indentations in the surface of the hash. Crack an egg into each indentation, sprinkle with salt and pepper, and cover the skillet. Cook over medium-low heat until the egg whites are set but the yolks remain runny.
- Sprinkle the hash with fresh chives and serve hot.
Notes
Chef Jenn’s Tips
- Dice the sweet potatoes into even pieces for consistent cooking.
- For extra smokiness, use smoked pulled pork or add a pinch of smoked paprika.
- Make sure to cook the eggs low and slow to get perfectly runny yolks.
- Add additional vegetables like diced zucchini or mushrooms to bulk up the hash.
- If you’re short on time, use pre-cooked sweet potatoes to speed up the cooking process.
