Ingredients
  

2 medium sweet potatoes, peeled and diced

2 medium apples (such as Honeycrisp or Granny Smith), cored and diced

1 medium red onion, finely chopped

1 bell pepper (any color), diced

3 cloves garlic, minced

1 teaspoon ground cinnamon

½ teaspoon ground nutmeg

Salt and pepper, to taste

2 tablespoons olive oil

3 large eggs (optional)

Fresh parsley or chives for garnish

Instructions
 

Prepare the Ingredients: Begin by peeling and dicing the sweet potatoes into small cubes, as well as coring and chopping the apples. Set aside.

    Sauté the Vegetables: In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the chopped red onion and bell pepper, sautéing until they are soft, about 4-5 minutes.

      Cook the Sweet Potatoes: Add the diced sweet potatoes to the skillet. Season with salt, pepper, cinnamon, and nutmeg. Stir well to combine and cover the skillet with a lid. Cook for 10-12 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the sweet potatoes are tender.

        Add the Apples and Garlic: Stir in the diced apples and minced garlic. Cook for an additional 5-7 minutes, allowing the apples to soften and caramelize slightly.

          Optional - Add Eggs: If using eggs, create small wells in the hash and crack an egg into each well. Cover the skillet and let the eggs cook until the whites are set but the yolks remain runny (about 4-6 minutes), or to your desired doneness.

            Garnish and Serve: Remove the skillet from heat. Garnish the hash with freshly chopped parsley or chives for a burst of color and freshness. Serve hot and enjoy your delicious Sweet Potato Apple Breakfast Hash!
