Beef and Sweet Potato Hash with Fried Eggs

• 1 lb ground beef
• 2 medium sweet potatoes, peeled and diced
• 1/2 yellow onion, diced
• 1 bell pepper, diced
• 2 cloves garlic, minced
• 1 tsp smoked paprika
• 1/2 tsp ground cumin
• Salt and pepper to taste
• 4 large eggs
• 2 tbsp olive oil
• 2 tbsp fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)

Steps

1. 1 Heat 1 tablespoon olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add diced sweet potatoes and cook until tender, about 10 minutes.
2. 2 Push sweet potatoes to the side and add another tablespoon of olive oil. Add ground beef to the skillet, breaking it up with a spoon. Cook until browned, about 5 minutes.
3. 3 Add diced onion and bell pepper to the skillet with the beef. Cook until softened, about 3 minutes.
4. 4 Stir in minced garlic, smoked paprika, and cumin. Season with salt and pepper.
5. 5 Combine the beef mixture with the sweet potatoes and cook for another 5 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld.
6. 6 Reduce heat to low and make four small wells in the hash. Crack an egg into each well.
7. 7 Cover skillet and cook until egg whites are set but yolks are still runny, about 4-5 minutes.
8. 8 Garnish with chopped parsley before serving.
