Almond Free Whole30 Sweet Potato Hash with Eggs
Smoky, colorful, and deeply satisfying, this skillet hash is the kind of one-pan breakfast that makes waking up early feel completely worth it. Caramelized sweet potato cubes get cooked in ghee until golden and tender, then tossed with sautéed onion, red bell pepper, and a warm blend of smoked paprika and cumin before eggs are nestled right into the pan. The whole thing comes together in a single cast iron skillet, which means bold flavor and minimal cleanup — a combination that's hard to beat. Because every ingredient here is naturally free from tree nuts, there's no label-scanning or substitution required; the recipe just works as written. Ghee gives the hash a rich, buttery depth without any dairy concerns, and the spice blend does the heavy lifting in the flavor department. Finish it with a handful of fresh parsley and a splash of hot sauce straight from the skillet, and you've got a hearty, nourishing meal that feels anything but restrictive.

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.
