Sweet Potato Hash with Pulled Pork
Sweet Potato Hash with Pulled Pork is a hearty one-skillet meal packed with tender sweet potatoes, smoky pulled pork, and a hint of cream. Perfect for breakfast, brunch, or dinner!
Ingredients
- 2 tablespoons cooking oil
- 2 pounds sweet potatoes peeled and cut into ¼-inch pieces
- 2 tablespoons salted butter
- 1 cup red onion chopped fine
- 2 cloves garlic minced
- 1/2 teaspoon fresh thyme minced, or ¼ teaspoon dried thyme
- 1/2 teaspoon chipotle powder
- 1 cup green bell pepper diced
- 2 cups pulled pork
- 1/3 cup heavy cream
- 4 eggs optional
- chives for garnish
- salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
- Heat the cooking oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the diced sweet potatoes and lower the heat to medium-low. Stir frequently and cook for about 8 minutes until the potatoes begin to soften. Watch the heat so that the potatoes don't burn.
- Season the sweet potatoes with salt and pepper. Add the butter, onion, and garlic to the skillet. Stir occasionally and cook for about 2 minutes until the onion softens.
- Mix in the thyme, chipotle powder, bell pepper, and pulled pork. Cook for 3–4 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the pork is warmed through and the ingredients are well combined.
- Pour in the heavy cream and let it simmer for 1 minute. Adjust the seasoning by adding more salt and pepper, if needed.
- Use a spatula to make 4 shallow wells in the hash. Crack an egg into each well, season with salt and pepper, and cover the skillet. Cook on medium-low heat until the egg whites are set, but the yolks remain soft.
- Garnish with chopped chives and serve warm.
Notes
Chef Jenn’s Tips
- Cut the sweet potatoes into uniform pieces to ensure even cooking.
- Use smoked pulled pork or add smoked paprika for extra flavor.
- Cook eggs slowly over low heat to keep the yolks runny.
- Add extra vegetables like zucchini or mushrooms to make the hash heartier.
