Low Sugar Whole30 Sweet Potato Hash with Eggs
Smoky, satisfying, and built entirely from whole ingredients, this skillet hash is the kind of breakfast that makes waking up early feel worth it. Sweet potato cubes get a proper sear in ghee until they're caramelized and tender, then come together with sautéed onion, red bell pepper, garlic, smoked paprika, and cumin for a deeply savory base. No sweeteners, no syrups, no sneaky additives — just real food that happens to taste incredible. Eggs are nestled right into the hash and steamed to perfection in the same pan, so the whites set while the yolks stay just a little jammy. It's a one-skillet situation, which means minimal cleanup and maximum flavor payoff. A hit of hot sauce on the side ties everything together and gives you that little kick to round out the meal. Whether you're doing a Whole30 reset or just trying to eat cleaner without feeling deprived, this is the kind of recipe that makes the whole thing feel effortless.

Instructions

Heat 1 tbsp of the ghee in a 12-inch cast iron skillet over medium-high heat until shimmering. Add the sweet potato cubes in a single layer and season with 1/2 tsp salt. Cook undisturbed for 5 minutes, until the undersides are golden brown, then stir and continue cooking for another 5–7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the cubes are tender when pierced with a fork and browned on most sides. Transfer to a plate and set aside.

Reduce the heat to medium and add the remaining 1 tbsp ghee to the skillet. Add the onion and bell pepper and cook, stirring occasionally, until softened and the onion is translucent, about 5–6 minutes.
