Sweet Potato and Pancetta Hash

By

I’ve been on a serious hash kick lately. No, not the illegal (in most states) kind. I’m talking about the kind of hash you can bring to your grandmother’s house for Christmas breakfast to share with the whole family. And that’s exactly when my (recent) obsession started. I make it for any occasion: whether I’m having friends over for brunch or dinner, eating with my family, to impress guests, or devour myself and have tons of delicious leftovers. It’s simple and comes together pretty fast, which is great when you’re busy and hungry!

Further Food Commentary:

I love that this recipe uses sweet potato, high in beta-carotene, in place of the typical white potato found in a lot of hash recipes. The addition of fat from avocado, bacon and/or pancetta allow for the beta-carotene to be more easily absorbed by the body as it is a fat-soluble vitamin. The combination of flavors makes this a mouth-watering and well-balanced meal complete with protein (egg/pancetta/bacon), healthy fat (avocado) and carbs (sweet potato).
