Turkey Free Whole30 Sweet Potato Hash with Eggs
Smoky, colorful, and deeply satisfying, this skillet hash is the kind of one-pan breakfast that makes you want to linger over the stove. Sweet potato cubes get a proper sear in ghee until they're caramelized and tender, then they're folded together with sautéed onion, red bell pepper, and garlic before eggs are nestled right into the pan to finish cooking. Smoked paprika and cumin do the heavy lifting on flavor, giving the whole dish a warm, earthy depth that feels anything but plain. Because every ingredient here is naturally free of poultry products, there's no need to scrutinize labels or swap anything out — it just works as written. The cast iron skillet holds heat beautifully, which means you get those golden, slightly crispy edges on the potatoes that make hash worth making in the first place. Serve it straight from the pan with a splash of hot sauce and a handful of fresh parsley, and you've got a complete, nourishing meal that's as easy to clean up as it is to eat.

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.
