Ham and Sweet Potato Hash

Ingredients

  • 2 1/2 cups (1/2-in.) diced peeled sweet potatoes
  • 4 tablespoons water, divided
  • 2 1/2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil, divided
  • 5 ounces reduced-sodium ham (such as Boar’s Head), diced
  • 1 1/2 cups finely chopped leeks
  • 1 cup chopped red bell pepper
  • 1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper, divided
  • 1/4 teaspoon kosher salt, divided
  • 1/3 cup chopped fresh flat-leaf parsley
  • 4 large eggs (in shells)
  • 1/2 teaspoon hot sauce (optional)

How to Make It

Step 1

Place potatoes and 2 tablespoons water in a microwave-safe dish; cover with plastic wrap. Microwave at high 5 minutes or until tender. Place potatoes on a paper towel-lined plate. Let stand 5 minutes.

Step 2

Heat 1 teaspoon oil in a cast-iron skillet over medium. Add ham; cook 8 minutes or until browned and crisp, stirring occasionally. Remove ham to a paper towel-lined plate.

Step 3

Increase heat to medium-high. Add 1 tablespoon oil to drippings in pan. Add leeks; sauté 1 1/2 minutes. Add remaining 2 tablespoons water to leek mixture; cook 1 1/2 minutes. Add 2 teaspoons oil, potatoes, bell pepper, 1/4 teaspoon black pepper, and 1/8 teaspoon salt; cook 6 to 8 minutes or until potatoes are crisp. Stir in ham and parsley. Divide potato mixture evenly among 4 plates.

Step 4

Reduce heat to medium. Add remaining 1 1/2 teaspoons oil to pan. Crack eggs into pan; cook 3 to 4 minutes or until whites are set. Place 1 egg over each serving; sprinkle evenly with remaining 1/4 teaspoon black pepper and remaining 1/8 teaspoon salt. Drizzle with hot sauce, if desired.
