Rice Free Whole30 Sweet Potato Hash with Eggs
Smoky, satisfying, and built entirely around whole ingredients, this skillet hash is the kind of breakfast that actually keeps you full. Sweet potato cubes get a proper sear in ghee until they're golden and caramelized, then come together with sautéed onion, red bell pepper, and garlic in a cast iron pan that does all the heavy lifting. Smoked paprika and cumin give the whole thing a warm, earthy depth that makes it taste far more complex than the ingredient list suggests. 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. For anyone navigating a grain-free reset, this dish is a natural fit — there's no filler, no starch padding, just real vegetables and clean fats doing their job. A handful of fresh parsley and a splash of hot sauce at the end are optional but genuinely worth it. It's the kind of one-pan meal you'll find yourself making on repeat long after any reset is over.

Instructions
- 1
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.
