Ingredients

  • 1 1/2 lb sweet potatoes
  • 15 oz canned black beans
  • 1 red onion
  • 1 red bell pepper
  • 4 large eggs
  • 3 tbsp extra virgin olive oil
  • 2 tsp smoked paprika
  • 1 tsp ground cumin
  • 1 1/2 tsp kosher salt
  • 1/2 bunch cilantro(optional)
  • 4 tsp hot sauce (louisiana style)(optional)

Method

  1. Peel and dice the sweet potatoes into half-inch cubes.

  2. Heat the oil in a large skillet over medium-high and add the sweet potato in a single layer. Leave it alone for 5 minutes so it browns rather than steams.

  3. Stir, then add the diced onion and pepper and cook 8 minutes more until the potato is tender at the center.

  4. Fold in the drained black beans, smoked paprika, cumin, and salt and cook 3 minutes.

  5. Make four wells in the hash, crack an egg into each, cover the pan, and cook 5 minutes until the whites set.

  6. Finish with cilantro and hot sauce.
