Recipe Steps

making sweet potato hash in a skillet

Step One

The first step in making your Sweet Potato Apple Hash is to peel and chop the sweet potatoes. You’ll also need to chop your apple and bacon into bite-sized pieces.

To make this recipe vegetarian, leave out the bacon and use a tablespoon of olive oil instead.

Please see the printable recipe card at end of this post for the exact ingredients and measurements.

Step Two

Chopping the ingredients for this recipe is the hardest part. You do want to make sure the sweet potato and apple are chopped fairly small so that they will cook fast.

Once you’re ready to make the hash, heat up a large skillet over medium heat. Add the bacon and let it start to cook for about 2-3 minutes so it starts to release its grease.

Step Three

Add the chopped sweet potatoes, apples, shallots or onion, and the fresh rosemary to the skillet. Cover the skillet with a lid and let the mixture cook for 10 minutes on medium heat.

Step Four

Once the sweet potato and apple mixture has started to soften, reduce the heat to low and break the eggs on top of the hash. Cover the skillet again and let the eggs cook for about 5 more minutes.

Turn off the heat and serve the hash with salt and pepper on top. Store any leftovers in a tightly sealed airtight container for up to 4 days. Reheat before serving.

I hope you agree that this potato apple hash is one of your favorite ways to get an easy meal.

Recipe Tips

  • Leave out the bacon and use a tablespoon of olive oil to make this dish vegetarian.
  • You can use a red or green granny smith apple in this hash. Just try to use a sweet apple for the ideal combination of flavors.
  • If you don’t have fresh rosemary, you can use 1 teaspoon of dried rosemary.
  • If you want to meal prep this recipe, you can chop the sweet potato, bacon, and apple up to 2 days before. Just be sure to cover the ingredients tightly and store them in the refrigerator until you’re ready to make the hash.
