Sweet Potato Hash is a healthy and delicious dish that's baked in the oven. A combination of velvety sweet potatoes, tender mushrooms, earthy shaved Brussels sprouts and salty bacon all topped with fried eggs. It makes a perfect meal for any time of day!
When I see the word 'hash' in the title of a recipe or on a menu, I'm always intrigued. And if you've been following this blog for awhile, you may remember how 'Corned Beef Hash' became 'canned beef hash' in my mind forever.
Sweet Potato Breakfast Hash (or lunch or dinner hash!) is just as much about its individual parts as it is about the sum of them. If you love all of the ingredients, then every bite is about pairing this one with that one and that one with this one. Just think of the possibilities! There's really only one rule: It must be topped with an egg (in our house anyway).
This Sweet Potato Hash is a riff on two of my previous recipes: Breakfast Potatoes and Corned Beef Hash. Both recipes taught me how much I love having the majority of a meal baking in the oven without supervision while I cook and stir at the stovetop. And, in this case, the only other cooking to be done is to fry the eggs. So easy!
The only challenge to making this sweet potato hash is timing. You'll want to give yourself a few minutes at the end to fry your eggs. My advice is to make sure that your eggs are perfect and piping hot because everything else is fine (delicious really) even at room temperature.
And if you have a food processor with a slicing blade this is a great time to use it! You'll have perfectly sliced Brussels sprouts and mushrooms in seconds.

How to Make Sweet Potato Hash
Step 1: Preheat oven to 400˚F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Combine diced sweet potatoes, sliced Brussels sprouts, mushrooms and green onions in a large bowl. Add olive oil, salt and pepper and toss to coat evenly.
Step 2: Spread sweet potato mixture in a single layer on prepared baking sheet and sprinkle with bacon. Bake 40 to 45 minutes, stirring once halfway through cooking time.
Step 3: When sweet potato hash is ready to serve, fry 4 eggs. Divide hash among 4 plates and top each with a fried egg. Serve.

Sweet Potato Hash
Ingredients
- 1 ½ pounds sweet potatoes diced small, about ½-inch
- 10 ounces Brussels sprouts thinly sliced
- 8 ounces mushrooms thinly sliced
- 2 green onions thinly sliced
- ¼ cup olive oil plus more for frying eggs
- salt and freshly ground black pepper
- 4 slices bacon thinly sliced crosswise
- 4 eggs
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 400˚F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- In a large bowl combine sweet potatoes, Brussels sprouts, mushrooms and green onions. Drizzle with olive oil and season to taste with salt and pepper; toss to coat evenly.
- Pour sweet potato mixture onto prepared baking sheet and spread into a single layer. Sprinkle bacon over the top. Bake 40 to 45 minutes, stirring once halfway through cooking time, until vegetables are tender and have some crispy edges.
- When hash is ready to serve, heat a skillet over medium heat until hot. Add olive oil and tilt to coat pan. When the oil shimmers, carefully add the eggs. Fry eggs to desired doneness.
- Divide sweet potato hash between four plates. Top each with a fried egg. Serve.
Notes
- Using a food processor fitted with a slicing disc to slice the Brussels sprouts and even the mushrooms makes quick work of it!
- If you're lucky enough to have leftovers, reheat them by crisping them up in a non-stick skillet with a bit of olive oil!
The first time I came across a breakfast hash was at a restaurant near us back when we lived in Atlanta. We didn't go out (and still don't) to breakfast often, but this place was a special one. They had all of these different hash combinations on the menu, and each one came in a small cast iron skillet. So fun! I love the idea of using sweet potatoes in a hash, and I'm thinking this one needs to show up on our weekend breakfast menu soon. It looks delicious, Marissa!
Thank you, David! Love it that, like me, you're intrigued by all things in the 'breakfast hash' category. Love that the restaurant served them all in little cast iron pans!
Oooh sweet potatoes and brussels?! Sold! This looks so delicious, and I'm a huge fan of all the yumminess packed in here.
Thanks so much, Rachel!
This reminds me of lunch. I had leftover potatoes and I fried some onions and the potatoes and topped it with an egg. NOTHING as fancy as yours - this looks delicious!
That's my kind of lunch, Maureen! Thank you. 😉
You've made hash can a thing of beauty, and you are starring so many of my favorite ingredients. This combination sounds dynamite!
Ha! Thanks so much, Erin!
Seriously Marissa? You are one of the only women in the world that could make hash look absolutely beautiful. I *adore* hash, and I'm telling you - I MUST have this!!! When can you come over and make it? My calendar is completely open. 🙂
That's so sweet, Kristi! Thank you. 🙂
Anything with a nice gooey egg on top makes me happy and the sweet potato instead of the usual potato sounds fantastic.
Thank you, Kevin!
Marissa, this looks so delicious. . the fried egg on top gets me every time. . and I love that you added brussels sprouts. . I love brussels sprouts and went through a phase when I was adding it into everything. . like, even on top of a pizza. My husband was not happy. 😛 love this hash!!!
Brussels sprouts pizza, why not? 😉 Thanks, Alice!
I so love me a veggie hash! Love this Marissa! I haven't topped mine with an egg before - but from now on I need to!
You'll never go back once you do, Shashi! 😉
I SO love a good hash! And you're right...must be egg-topped, with lots of runny yolk.
Yep. put an egg on it! 🙂 I need a t-shirt...
I totally agree with that rule - "must be topped with an egg"! I've never paired sweet potatoes and brussels, but they sound like a match made in heaven!
They're so good together, Sarah! It was the first time I'd tried the combo - but not the last! 🙂
At first I thought it's cabbage in the plate, then I found they are brussels sprout! Wonderful 🙂
I don't cook with brussels sprout so often but love its flavor. The bacon goes great with it, and I'm so glad I can add another healthy veggie on my breakfast table 🙂
Thank you, Maggie. 🙂
Your choice of ingredients is perfect- some of my all-time favorites all in one amazing hash! And isn't everything better with an egg on top?! Pinning!
Thanks, Sonali!
So THIS is how to squeeze brussel sprouts into breakfast that I want to do a face plant in!! And PS YES a hash is not a hash without an egg! That would just be...a fry up of random things?!
Brussels sprout faceplant!! 😉 Thanks, Nagi.
Yes to the egg topping in our house too! 🙂 It's funny - it really is true what they say about great minds thinking alike! I'm trying to share more of my everyday recipes that I love (and eat) so much, but don't ever think about sharing...next Friday I was planning to share my recipe for Brussels sprout and bacon hash! Yours looks wonderful (I love the addition of mushrooms!) and I will definitely be trying it.
Faith, that is too funny! I am SO looking forward to your version..xo
Yum! And I totally agree about topping it with the egg by the way 😀
haha! Thanks, Lorraine...xo
This is EXACTLY the kind of meal I love best in the middle of winter! Plenty of seasonal veg, subtly and smokily spiced, with a beautifully cooked egg on top. Yay!
I know what you mean. And not only for breakfast - we've had this kind of dish for lunch or dinner too. Easy and hearty. Thanks, Eileen.
I get excited whenever I see any kind of hash on a menu, too. I do sweet potato and bacon pretty much every morning - I definitely need to pick up brussels sprouts and mushrooms for this!
Love it, Amanda! Thanks.
Wow, this is my kind of dinner!
There are so many delicious flavours in there - some of my favourites. And the runny egg - well, that just sends it soaring into food heaven!
Yes, love a runny egg! Thanks, Helen.
I could eat this every day. Perfection.
Me too! 🙂 Thanks, Jennifer.
This looks and sound absolutely delicious. Oh and that egg - perfection! I love the healthy twist on this and that you've added brussel sprouts - big fan!
Thanks, Kathleen!
