Sesame 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 garlic before being hit with smoked paprika and cumin for a warm, earthy depth. Eggs are nestled right into the hash and steamed to perfection in the same cast iron skillet, so the whites set up beautifully while the yolks stay just a little runny. For anyone navigating a Whole30 reset, this dish checks every box without requiring specialty swaps or hard-to-find ingredients — just real, clean food that actually tastes incredible. Sesame oils and pastes can sneak into a surprising number of breakfast dishes and sauces, but every ingredient here is naturally free of that concern, so you can dig in without second-guessing the label on anything. A splash of hot sauce and a handful of fresh parsley over the top pull the whole thing together, and serving straight from the skillet means fewer dishes and maximum drama at the table.

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.
