Macadamia Free Whole30 Sweet Potato Hash with Eggs
Smoky, satisfying, and built entirely from whole ingredients, this skillet hash is the kind of breakfast that makes you want to wake up early on a weekend. Sweet potato cubes get a proper sear in ghee until they're golden and caramelized, then come together with sautéed onion, red bell pepper, garlic, smoked paprika, and cumin for a deeply savory base. Eggs are nestled right into the hash and cooked to a just-set finish, so every bite has that rich, runny yolk pulling everything together. The whole thing comes together in a single cast iron skillet, which means less cleanup and more time actually enjoying your meal. For anyone navigating tree nut concerns, this recipe is naturally free of nuts in any form — every ingredient is straightforward and easy to verify at a glance. A scatter of fresh parsley and a splash of hot sauce at the end are optional but honestly worth it. It's hearty enough to carry you through a busy morning and impressive enough to serve to guests straight from the pan.

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.
