I’m all about breakfast hashes. They are so incredibly simple to throw together and also extremely versatile. While by definition a hash includes chopped and fried potatoes, meat, and onions, you can easily toss in additional ingredients.

Because you can incorporate just about anything, it’s a great way to use any veggies you have that are on the verge of going bad. Peppers, cabbage, corn, mushrooms, carrots; the possibilities are endless.

It’s also a great way to finish off leftover meats. In fact, this dish came to be as I was trying to come up with ways to use up leftover ham from Thanksgiving.

In combination with the ham, I opted for seasonal vegetables including sweet potatoes and Brussels sprouts. No, I’m not tired of them yet.

The slightly sweet caramelized vegetables with the salty ham result in a harmonious flavor profile that is made even better with the buttery egg yolks. Is there anything that is not better with the addition of yolky eggs?

I like to take it one step further by adding some fresh herbs and plenty of hot sauce. Although the contents of this hearty skillet breakfast are all you really need, a side of toast or a buttery biscuit pair well with it.

Speaking of biscuits, my jalapeno cheddar drop biscuits would be a great choice. They are super easy to make, only take 17 minutes, and are oh so delicious.

This hash is also incredibly easy to make and is cooked in just one pan!!! That means there is very little clean-up involved which is a win in my book.

Ingredients (+ notes & substitutions)

---

• Olive oil
• Ham: This recipe is a great way to use up leftover ham. It can be sliced or cubed.
• Sweet potatoes: I typically peel them, but feel free to leave the peel intact if you prefer. If you don’t have any sweet potatoes or if you’re not a big fan of them, you could certainly use Russet potatoes instead.
• Brussels sprouts: For this recipe smaller sized Brussels sprouts work best. After washing them you will need to trim off the stem and quarter them.
• White onion: Red or even yellow would work as well.
• Garlic powder
• Salt
• Paprika
• Black pepper
• Large eggs: You can leave out the eggs or serve them on the side if you wish. If you chose to do so, there is no need for baking the hash.
• Optional toppings: Fresh herbs, sliced green onions, and hot sauce.

How to make sweet potato Brussels sprouts hash ( + tips)

---

Begin by preheating your oven to 375 degrees.

Then heat a large skillet (preferably cast-iron) over medium-high heat. Add one teaspoon of olive oil and once hot add the ham. Cook, stirring occasionally, for 4-5 minutes until browned, then remove from heat and set aside.

Next, add two tablespoons of olive oil to the skillet. Once hot add the sweet potatoes, Brussels sprouts, onion, garlic powder, paprika, salt, and black pepper. Cook for 15 minutes, stirring occasionally, then remove from heat and stir in the ham.

Create four divots in the hash and crack an egg into each one.

Bake for approximately 10 minutes until the eggs are set but the yolks are still slightly runny. If you prefer your egg yolks to be set as well, leave it in the oven for a couple more minutes.

Add salt and pepper to taste and serve warm garnished with your choice of herbs, sliced green onions, and/or hot sauce.
