Whole 30 Whole30 Garlic Chive Sweet Potato Breakfast Hash

Crispy bacon, caramelized sweet potatoes, and a shower of fresh chives make this skillet breakfast one of those meals that genuinely feels indulgent even though every single ingredient is completely on-program. The trick is letting the sweet potato cubes sit undisturbed in the cast iron so they develop those golden, slightly crispy edges before you stir — that patience pays off in a big way. Smoked paprika and minced garlic go in toward the end, keeping the garlic fragrant rather than bitter, and the whole thing comes together in one pan before the eggs even hit the stove. Speaking of eggs, frying them separately means you can dial in your preferred yolk doneness without rushing the hash, and they land right on top for a picture-perfect finish. Sugar-free uncured bacon is the key swap here — regular cured bacon often sneaks in added sugars that would knock this off-plan, so reading that label matters. A splash of compliant hot sauce at the table is optional but highly recommended. This recipe serves four, making it an easy weekend brunch for the whole family or a solid meal-prep anchor for a busy week of mornings.

Instructions

1
Heat a 12-inch cast iron skillet over medium heat. Add the bacon pieces and cook, stirring occasionally, until the fat has rendered and the bacon is crisp, about 6–8 minutes. Transfer the bacon to a plate with a slotted spoon, leaving the rendered fat in the skillet.
2
Add 1 tablespoon of the avocado oil to the bacon fat in the skillet and increase the heat to medium-high. Add the sweet potato cubes in a single layer and press them down lightly. Cook undisturbed for 4–5 minutes until the undersides are golden and beginning to caramelize, then stir and continue cooking, stirring every 2–3 minutes, until the cubes are tender throughout and browned on most sides, about 10–12 minutes total.
