  • 12 ounces sweet potatoes, peeled and cut
  • into 1/4-inch pieces
  • 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
  • Salt and pepper
  • 1 onion, chopped fine
  • 2 garlic cloves, minced
  • 1½ teaspoon minced fresh thyme or 1½ teaspoon dried
  • 1/2 teaspoon chili powder
  • ½ cup heavy cream
  • 1/4 teaspoon hot sauce
  • 8 large eggs

Instructions

  1. Toss russet and sweet potatoes with 1 tablespoon
    oil, ½ teaspoon salt, and ½ teaspoon pepper in bowl.
    Cover and microwave until potatoes are translucent
    around edges, 5 to 8 minutes, stirring halfway
    through microwaving.
  2. Meanwhile, heat remaining 1 tablespoon oil in 12-inch
    nonstick skillet over medium-high heat until shim-
    mering. Add onion and cook until softened and lightly
    browned, 5 to 7 minutes.
  3. Stir in garlic, thyme, and chili powder and cook
    until fragrant, about 30 seconds. Stir in hot potatoes,
    cream, and hot sauce. Using back of spatula, gently
    pack potatoes into pan and cook undisturbed for
    minutes. Flip hash, a portion at a time, and lightly
    repack into pan. Repeat flipping process every few
    minutes until potatoes are nicely browned, 6 to
    minutes.
  4. Off heat, make 4 shallow indentations (about
    inches wide) in surface of hash using back
    of spoon. Crack 2 eggs into each indentation and
    season with salt and pepper. Cover and cook over
    medium-low heat until egg whites are just set
    and yolks are still runny, 5 to 10 minutes. Serve.
