Sweet potato hash brown skillet
This is a recreation of my favourite breakfast from the Garden. It is SO good. Sweet potato hash browns, tomato sauce, a couple of veggies, and eggs. You could add avocado to this too, which would be very good indeed.
There’s something about sweet potato and eggs that just work. Take my word.
The only thing missing from this was chopped tomatoes, but just for ease, you could use baked tomatoes instead. I’ve given both versions below.
Prep these hash browns & the veg for the week, and have an almost instant meal at any time of the day.
Recipe
THE HASH BROWNS (makes 2 portions)
1 large sweet potato, peeled and steamed
2 tbsp plain flour
1 tsp butter, melted
THE VEG (per person)
2-3 mushrooms, steamed
Kale, steamed
Cherry tomatoes, baked/ 3 tbsp chopped tomatoes
1-2 eggs, any way
Method
Preheat your oven to 190°C.
For the hash browns, peel your sweet potato, and cut into 2-3 pieces.
Add water and salt to a steamer, and steam the pieces of sweet potato for about 15-20 minutes, or until you can stick a knife all the way through, but not too easily.
Once your sweet potato is steamed, set aside and leave to cool down slightly.
Drain the water out of the pan/ steamer and refill it, salting it well.
Add your mushrooms & kale to the steamer, and steam for 6-8 minutes.
Once your sweet potato is cool enough to touch, grate each piece into a mixing bowl, then add your melted butter and flour. Mix through well, until you have a texture almost like mash potato, but less mashed.
Season well, then shape into 4 patties.
Drizzle some olive oil over the base of a baking tray, then add your hash browns, and drizzle a little olive oil over each one.
Bake for 12-15 minutes, or until the hash browns start to brown. Flip them over and bake for another 12-15 minutes. If you want baked tomatoes, add them to a baking tray, and bake now.
Once your hash browns are almost done, cook your eggs as you like, then heat up your chopped tomatoes (if you’ve not baked cherry ones).
Plate up - put your chopped tomatoes on the bottom (if using), then your hash browns. Top with your eggs & serve with your steamed veg.
Notes + Variations:
You could also cook the hash browns in an airfryer, just spray them with oil or grease them slightly so they don’t catch.
