Cuisine: Mexican
Serves: 4 servings
Ingredients
- 1 large sweet potato, diced
- 1 cup chorizo, cooked
- 1/2 cup onions, chopped
- 1/2 cup bell peppers, chopped
- 4 large eggs
- Olive oil for cooking
- Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
- Peel and dice the sweet potato into small, uniform cubes approximately 1/2 inch in size to ensure even cooking.
- Heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil in a large cast-iron skillet or heavy-bottomed pan over medium-high heat.
- Add diced sweet potato to the skillet, spreading them in a single layer. Cook for 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until potatoes start to develop golden brown edges and become slightly crispy.
- Add chopped onions and bell peppers to the skillet, sautéing with sweet potatoes for an additional 3-4 minutes until vegetables become soft and slightly translucent.
- Incorporate cooked chorizo into the skillet, stirring to combine with vegetables and allowing the spices from the chorizo to blend with other ingredients.
- Season the hash mixture with salt and pepper, adjusting to taste. Ensure even distribution of seasoning.
- Create four small wells in the hash mixture, making space for eggs.
- Crack eggs directly into the wells, reducing heat to medium-low.
- Cover the skillet and cook for 3-5 minutes, or until egg whites are set and yolks reach desired doneness.
- Remove from heat and let rest for 2 minutes before serving hot, directly from the skillet.
Tips
- Dice your sweet potatoes uniformly to ensure even cooking and crispy edges.
- Use a cast-iron skillet for the best heat distribution and beautiful caramelization.
- Don't overcrowd the pan – give your ingredients space to brown and develop rich flavors.
- For extra crispiness, pat sweet potato cubes dry before cooking to remove excess moisture.
- Choose high-quality chorizo for maximum flavor impact – the spicier, the better!
- Experiment with egg doneness: runny yolks create a delicious sauce for your hash.
- Fresh herbs like cilantro or parsley can add a bright finish to this hearty dish.
- Serve immediately for the best texture and temperature experience.
