Notes
Tip: For added flavor, sprinkle some smoked paprika or chili flakes on the hash before serving.
To ensure your poached eggs are perfect, add a splash of vinegar to the simmering water; this helps the whites coagulate. If you’re short on time, consider prepping the sweet potatoes ahead of time and simply reheating them in the skillet.
This hash makes an excellent base for variations. Feel free to add bell peppers, spinach, or other favorite vegetables. You can also swap chives for scallions or even fresh parsley for a different flavor profile.
Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to three days. Reheat in a skillet over medium heat, adding a splash of water to keep it moist.
