Ingredients

  • 1 tbsp olive oil
  • 1 small onion finely chopped
  • 3 cloves garlic minced
  • 1 ½ cup potato diced
  • 1 ½ cup sweet potato diced
  • 1 red bell pepper chopped
  • 1 ½ cup mushroom sliced
  • ½ cup black beans canned, rinsed & drained
  • 1 tsp paprika
  • 1 tsp thyme dried

    1 tbsp olive oil, 1 small onion, 3 cloves garlic
  • Add both potatoes to the skillet, spreading them out in an even layer. Cook for 10-12 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the potatoes are tender and slightly crispy on the outside.

  • Add the black beans, red bell pepper and mushrooms to the skillet. Cook for an additional 5-7 minutes until the mushrooms release their moisture and the bell pepper is tender.
    1 red bell pepper, 1 ½ cup mushroom, ½ cup black beans
  • Stir in the paprika, thyme, salt, and pepper. Cook for another 1-2 minutes to allow the spices to become fragrant.
    1 tsp paprika, 1 tsp thyme, ¼ tsp salt, ¼ tsp pepper
  • Once the vegetables are tender and well seasoned, remove the skillet from heat.
  • In a separate skillet, prepare eggs to your liking - whether that’s sunny side up, scrambled, poached, or fried.
    8 egg
  • Serve the potato hash topped with 2 eggs and an extra crack of black pepper.

Cooking Tips

  • Even Cooking: Dice the regular and sweet potatoes into uniform sizes to ensure they cook evenly and at the same rate.
  • Crispy Potatoes: Allow the potatoes to cook undisturbed for several minutes at a time to help them develop a crispy exterior.
  • Freshness: For an extra burst of flavour, consider finishing the hash with fresh herbs like parsley or cilantro in addition to the dried thyme.
