It’s finally the season of mists and mellow fruitfulness again! This sweet potato apple hash is a fall breakfast recipe you don’t wanna miss.
With the amazing partnership of sweet and savory flavors, you’ll be including this dish in your breakfast rotation. You can peel both the apples and sweet potatoes though we prefer leaving the skin on. That way, you’ll get more fiber and preserve the earthy taste. To ensure food safety, don’t forget to scrub the skins and rinse with water before chopping and cooking, especially for sweet potatoes.
Any type of sweet potato will work for this recipe, but we suggest using Japanese sweet potatoes. Also known as Satsumaimo, the purple skin yellow flesh potato will not only make your dish look livelier, it will also improve your bowel movement. It’s also a source of vitamins and phytonutrients, which have antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties.
Delicious Sweet Potato Apple Hash
To lean on your savory palate, you can add bacon and use its rendered fat for cooking the vegetable, fruit, and eggs instead of olive oil. Make sure that you buy uncured bacon from the butcher shop to retain the ways of clean eating. You can also use ghee in place of olive oil. Pink ladies and granny smith apples will work well for this sweet potato apple hash. Add thyme and sage, which both complement the tartness of the apples.

Sweet Potato Apple Hash
Equipment
- Skillet
Ingredients
- 4 sweet potatoes
- 2 apples
- 2 shallots
- 2 tbsp olive oil
- 1 sprig rosemary
- 4 eggs
- 1 tsp salt
Instructions
- The first step in making your Sweet Potato Apple Hash is to chop the sweet potatoes and your apples into bite-sized pieces. Mince the shallots.
- Once you’re ready to make the hash, heat up a large skillet over medium heat. Add the olive oil and let it start to cook for about 2-3 minutes so it starts to release its grease.
- Add the chopped sweet potatoes, apples, shallots, and the fresh rosemary to the skillet. Cover the skillet with a lid and let the mixture cook for 10 minutes on medium heat.
- Once the sweet potato and apple mixture has started to soften, reduce the heat to low and break the eggs on top of the hash. Cover the skillet again and let the eggs cook for about 5 more minutes.
- Turn off the heat and sprinkle the salt and pepper (optional) on top. Serve the hash hot.
- Store any leftovers in a tightly sealed container for up to 4 days. Reheat before serving.
Notes
- If you want to meal prep this recipe, you can chop the sweet potatoes and apples up to 2 days before. Just be sure to cover the ingredients tightly and store them in the refrigerator until you’re ready to make the hash.
