Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 425°F and place a rimmed baking sheet in the oven while it preheats.  
  2. Add sweetpotato, onion, red bell pepper, green bell pepper, 1 tablespoon oil, paprika, garlic powder, cayenne, ¼ teaspoon salt and black pepper to a large bowl and stir to combine.  

  3. Remove baking sheet from the oven and coat with remaining 2 teaspoons oil. Use a wooden spoon or spatula to spread potatoes and vegetables out evenly onto the baking sheet. Bake, stirring occasionally during cooking time, until sweetpotatoes are fork-tender, about 18 to 20 minutes. 

  4. Move vegetables away from the sides, toward the center of the baking sheet (to create a mound for adding the eggs). Use the back of a spoon to create 4 wells in hash. Crack one egg into each well. Season with salt and pepper. Bake until whites are set and yolk is jammy, about 8-10 minutes. 
  5. Drizzle vinegar over everything and garnish with chopped chives just before serving.

Pro Tips

  • Be sure to keep potatoes to a ½-inch size so that they cook evenly and quickly.
  • Cracking the egg into a bowl first makes it easy to remove any rogue eggshell that may end up in the egg when it’s cracked.
  • The USDA recommends cooking eggs until the yolk and whites are firm.
