Sweet Potato Hash with Crispy Onions & Bell Peppers

This sweet potato hash is paleo and Whole30 approved, simple to prepare, savory, and satisfying.

I seem to be in a breakfast mood this week. Earlier I shared Chocolate Peanut Butter Cup Donuts and Banana Chocolate Chip Muffins, and now this Sweet Potato Hash. Unlike those sweet treats, this dish is savory and wholesome—great for a healthier meal without sacrificing flavor.

I first made this during a six-week health challenge where I focused on whole foods. I’d read about Whole30 and liked many of the food ideas, though I didn’t follow the program strictly. This recipe fits Whole30 and Paleo guidelines when prepared as written, and it works equally well for breakfast, brunch, or a light dinner.

One of my favorite things about this hash is the color—vibrant orange sweet potatoes paired with multi-colored bell peppers make the plate pop. The peppers add texture and sweetness while the fried egg on top brings richness; leaving the yolk slightly runny creates a natural sauce that ties everything together.

This recipe serves one, so scale the ingredients for more servings. It’s simple, nourishing, and full of flavor—perfect when you want a satisfying, savory meal.
