Smoky Sweet Potato Hash with Parmesan Fried Eggs
Caramelized sweet potato, smoked paprika, wilted spinach, and eggs fried in a parmesan crust — a weekend-brunch hash that keeps its sweet potato at a sensible half-cup per plate so you don't have to think about it.
Ingredients
- •1 cup diced (about 150g) sweet potatothat's the 1/2-cup cap per serving, already portioned for two
- •1/2, diced green bell peppergreen stays low-FODMAP at this amount; skip red if you're being strict
- •2 big handfuls baby spinach
- •2 tbsp garlic-infused olive oil
- •1 tsp smoked paprika
- •1/2 tsp ground cumin
- •2 eggs
- •3 tbsp parmesan, finely gratedhard cheese — naturally very low in lactose
- •1 tbsp fresh chives, snipped
- •1/2, for squeezing lemon
- •to taste salt and black pepper
Method
- 1Heat 1 1/2 tablespoons of the garlic-infused oil in a wide skillet over medium heat, add the diced sweet potato with a pinch of salt, and cook undisturbed 4–5 minutes until browned underneath.
- 2Toss in the bell pepper, smoked paprika, and cumin and cook another 6–8 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the sweet potato is tender and crusty at the edges.
- 3Stir in the spinach until just wilted, season with salt and pepper, and push the hash to one side of the pan.
- 4Add the remaining oil to the empty side, sprinkle down two small circles of parmesan, and crack an egg onto each one.
- 5Cover and cook 2–3 minutes until the whites are set and the cheese underneath is golden and lacy.
- 6Divide the hash between two plates, slide a parmesan-crusted egg on top of each, and finish with chives and a good squeeze of lemon.
🧮 Stacking: Uses sweet potato at the 1/2-cup-per-serve cap, so skip other polyol-heavy foods like avocado, mushrooms, or cauliflower in the same meal.
