Ingredients
- 2 large sweet potatoes, peeled and diced
- 2 apples, cored and diced
- 1 large onion, diced
- 4 strips of bacon, chopped
- 2 cups fresh spinach, roughly chopped
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Optional: 4 eggs (for topping)
- Optional: Fresh herbs (such as parsley or thyme) for garnish
Directions
- Heat a large skillet over medium heat. Add the chopped bacon and cook until crisp. Remove the bacon from the skillet and set aside on a paper towel to drain.
- In the same skillet, add 1 tablespoon of olive oil. Add the diced sweet potatoes and cook for about 10 minutes, or until they start to soften. Stir occasionally to ensure even cooking.
- Add the diced onions to the skillet with the sweet potatoes. Cook for another 5 minutes, until the onions become translucent.
- Add the diced apples to the skillet and cook for an additional 5 minutes, until the apples are just soft.
- Return the cooked bacon to the skillet. Add the chopped spinach and cook until the spinach wilts, about 2-3 minutes.
- Season the hash with salt and pepper to taste. Stir everything to combine well.
- Optional: In a separate pan, fry or poach eggs to your liking.
- Serve the hash hot. If using eggs, place an egg on top of each serving.
- Garnish with fresh herbs if desired.
