05 -
Black pepper, toss in as much as you like
06 -
Salt, use to suit your taste
07 -
0.5 teaspoon smoked paprika
08 -
1 teaspoon dried rosemary
09 -
1 teaspoon dried thyme
10 -
2 garlic cloves, chopped up fine
11 -
2 tablespoons avocado oil or olive oil
→ Optional Garnishes
12 -
A few dashes of hot sauce
13 -
Avocado cut into slices
14 -
Fried eggs
15 -
Chopped fresh cilantro or parsley
# Steps:
01 -
Spoon hot hash onto plates. Sprinkle on fresh cilantro or parsley. Add a fried egg, avocado, or dash of hot sauce if you're in the mood.
02 -
Give it a taste and fix the amount of salt, smoked paprika, or pepper if you want more punch.
03 -
Turn up the heat a bit. Let the mix cook another 5 to 7 minutes. Stir now and then so things get brown and the edges go crisp.
04 -
Toss in your beef, whether pulled or diced. Stir to blend it in good and let everything get hot. If it's ground beef, make sure it's cooked all the way and you've poured out any extra fat.
05 -
Pop a lid on the skillet. Lower to medium-low heat. Let everything cook 15 to 20 minutes. Stir every so often so nothing sticks. If it's getting dry, add a splash of water or broth.
06 -
Add those sweet potato cubes to your pan with the veggies and spices. Sprinkle in some salt and pepper — maybe start with half a teaspoon of salt and a quarter teaspoon pepper.
07 -
Toss in the chopped garlic, thyme, rosemary, and smoked paprika. Stir it around for about a minute. You want to smell the flavors, but don't let anything brown.
08 -
Heat oil in a big pan over medium. Cook the onion and bell pepper together for 5 to 7 minutes, giving it a stir every now and then, until the onion is see-through and peppers have softened up.
09 -
Peel your sweet potatoes and cut into little chunks, aiming for all the pieces to be about the same size so they soften at the same time.
# Notes:
01 -
Cutting the sweet potatoes about the same size means they'll all soften evenly, and you'll get a nice texture bite after bite.
02 -
Letting your pan get hot first will help make the hash get nice and crispy right at the end.
