olive oil

🥗Healthier: avocado oil

💰Cheaper: canola oil

Dice a medium yellow onion.

Cut up 2-3 sweet potatoes; peeling is optional, but the creator prefers to leave the skin on for texture and nutrients.

Dice a few slices of bacon; the amount can vary based on preference.

Render the bacon in a little bit of oil for a few minutes until it starts to crisp up.

Move the bacon to the side and add the diced onions; sauté for a minute.

Add the sweet potatoes to the skillet.

Season the mixture with salt, black pepper, and lots of smoked paprika.

Cook the sweet potatoes, tossing occasionally, until they’re tender and crispy on the outside.

Heat oil in a separate pan until hot, then crack in a few eggs to fry them.

Baste the tops of the eggs with hot oil to help them set while keeping the yolks runny.

The eggs are done when the edges are crispy and lacy, but the yolks are still nice and runny.

Season the fried eggs before placing them on top of the hash.

Sprinkle with scallions before serving.
