When it comes to breakfast-for-dinner I'm definitely more a fan of egg dishes than pancakes or waffles. This hash is so flavorful and satisfying it almost makes me forget that it's a traditional breakfast dish rather than a "real" dinner.
Using sweet potatoes in place of white potatoes does change the texture of the hash. It won't be crispy like a hash made with white potatoes but I actually really love the softer, creamier texture. And the flavor of the sweet potatoes is a great balance to the salty ham.
I use a nitrate-free Canadian bacon, which is a nice staple to keep in your fridge. It's a lean meat, already cooked, and can be chopped up and thrown into any number of dishes or just warmed and served alongside some pancakes.
A fried egg on top with a soft yolk and crispy edges is the perfect finishing touch. You may find yourself making this for breakfast and for dinner!
Sweet Potato Hash with Ham and Arugula
Ingredients
3 tablespoons grapeseed oil
2 ½ c. peeled sweet potatoes, cut into ½” cubes
6 oz. Canadian bacon, diced
1 c. chopped yellow onion
2 tbsp. Dijon mustard
2 tbsp. horseradish
2 c. arugula
1 tbsp. olive oil
4 eggs
1 avocado, peeled and cut into chunks
Heat grapeseed oil in a nonstick pan over medium-high heat. Add sweet potatoes, cover, and cook 5 minutes.
Stir in Canadian bacon, onion, mustard, and horseradish. Cover and cook until the sweet potato is tender and the bottom turns golden, about 8-10 minutes.
Flip sections of the hash and press down with a spatula. Cook uncovered another 8-10 minutes, flipping sections occasionally so hash browns evenly. Stir in arugula and cook a few minutes until it wilts.
Meanwhile heat olive oil in another nonstick pan over medium-high heat. Add eggs and cook until whites are set but yolks are soft.
Divide hash among four plates. Top each with ¼ of the avocado and one fried egg. Serve immediately.
This one looks amazing! I'm a big fan of canadian and English bacon over US bacon - so much less fatty. My husband would love this. Can't wait to try it for him.
ReplyDeleteLooks delicious. We love a good breakfast/brunch dish for dinner occasionally.
ReplyDeleteWe love to do breakfast for dinner! I like the egg and hash option over the pancakes and waffles. This looks so scrumptious!
ReplyDeleteHoly cow - this looks ridiculously fantastic. I need to make this for breakfast asap. And we're in love with sweet potatoes over here, so that's perfect.
ReplyDeleteOh My Word! This is amazing. Just came in from a very rainy day and wanted something good but that would fit with weight watchers. I put the recipe in and it was only 5 points ~ I did cut the oil down considerably (I used coconut oil) I used my good skillet and was still able to get a good crust on the potatoes without it sticking. Didn't have a ripe avocado so I cannot imagine what that would add to the dish. Simply delicious!
ReplyDeleteOh awesome, so glad it's a Weight Watchers score!
