Method
 

Prep the Sweet Potatoes
    Cook the Hash
    1. Add the diced onion and bell peppers. Sauté for about 3 to 4 minutes until the onion becomes translucent and the peppers soften slightly.
    2. Add the minced garlic and cook for another 30 seconds until fragrant.
    3. Carefully add the sweet potato cubes to the skillet. Spread them out in an even layer. Let them cook undisturbed for 4 minutes.
    4. Flip the cubes and continue cooking for another 8 to 10 minutes, stirring every couple of minutes, until the sweet potatoes are tender on the inside and crispy on the edges.
    5. Sprinkle the smoked paprika, cumin, chili powder, salt, and pepper over the hash. Stir to coat everything evenly.
    6. Add the chopped spinach or kale. The greens will wilt in about 1 to 2 minutes.
    7. Taste and adjust seasoning. A little extra salt can make a big difference.
    Cook the Eggs (Optional)
      Serve Immediately

        Notes

        This recipe is perfect for meal prep. Let the hash cool completely before transferring it to an airtight container. It will keep for up to 4 days in the refrigerator. If you added eggs directly into the hash, store them together. If you plan to use the hash as a base for different toppings each morning, store the plain hash and add fresh toppings like avocado and eggs when reheating.
