Healthy Sweet Potato Hash Recipe Nutrition
Sweet potato has so much vitamin A and C, and it’s also a great source of fiber and potassium. This makes it a super healthy addition to any meal! The eggs also contain lots of protein and healthy carbs for energy, as well as healthy fats in the avocado. Sweet potato hash is a great healthy meal for pretty much any time of the day!

- Olive Oil
- Diced Red Onion
- Sweet Potatoes – peeled and cubed.
- Minced Garlic

How to Make Sweet Potato Kale Hash in a Skillet
Sweet potato hash with kale and eggs is actually super easy to make! Here’s how to put it together in just 30 minutes:
- Sauté the onion and garlic in a large cast-iron skillet (or a non-stick skillet).
- Add in cubed sweet potato and spices, then cook for about 15 minutes, covered and stirring every 5 minutes.
- Stir in kale and sauté for about 1-2 minutes.
- Make 4 wells and add an egg in each one.
- Cook to your liking, then top the entire dish with cilantro.
- Serve with avocado and whole wheat toast!
Tips for Making Sweet Potato Breakfast Hash
- Make sure to cut the sweet potato into even cubes so they cook at the same time.
- Save time by buying pre-cut sweet potatoes from the grocery store!
- Feel free to use spinach instead of kale.
- You can add extra spices to taste such as cumin, smoked paprika, oregano, or a dash of cayenne.
- Add hot sauce for a little kick!
Meal Prepping This Recipe
I wouldn’t recommend making the entire recipe in advance, since the kale and eggs are best when freshly cooked. However, you could cook the sweet potatoes in advance, store them in an airtight container, and then just quickly and lightly sauté them with a little bit of oil for a few minutes when you’re ready to make the recipe!
