Sweet Potato and Apple Hash with Eggs
Food boredom has taken over. I’m not sure if it’s the time of year – all the rain, cold and dark days – or if I just cook so much that creative cooking is at an all time low. Whatever it is, I decided last night to attempt to be a bit more adventurous and combine ingredients I wouldn’t normally have put together.
Sweet Potato and Apple Hash
Thinking that apples and sweet potatoes sounded like a good combination, I chopped a few into a pan with a little onion, and added some tarragon just because. Lightly fried eggs provided a creamy sauce for the hash when we dug our forks into the yolks.
Eggs with Sweet Potato and Apple Hash
Food boredom paid off. This was a simple, flavorful meal to put on the table, and healthy too. Sweet potatoes, apples and eggs. Can’t beat that!
Happy cooking!
Fried Eggs with Apple and Sweet Potato Hash
Serves 2
- 1 medium sweet potato, peeled and cubed
- ½ tablespoon coconut oil
- ½ cup onion, finely chopped
- 2 cups apple, chopped into bite sized pieces
- 1 tsp tarragon
- 2 large eggs
1. Blanch sweet potato in a large microwave safe bowl in 2″ of water for 5 minutes. Sweet potato should be crisp-tender.
2. In a large non-stick skillet heat coconut oil over medium heat. Add onion and cook 5 minutes until tender. Add apples, potatoes and tarragon. Reduce heat to medium low and cook for 20 25 minutes until vegetables and fruit are tender and potato is starting to brown.
3. Spray a small non-stick skillet with cooking spray and heat over medium heat. Crack eggs into skillet, add 2 tbs of water and cover with a lid. Cook for 3 – 5 minutes until egg is done to your desires. The less the cooking time, the runnier the yolk.
4. Serve eggs with hash.

I love to make fried eggs. And it just sounds so much better with a hash – and apples too! Yum!
Nice touch with the apples. Looking good!

Oh, wow – The combination of flavors here is sure to cure food boredom (Did I rhyme a little?). This is a plus in my book – Doesn’t hurt that it’s healthy too!
Delicious! Looks and sounds fantastic!

This looks awesome! I make hash a lot, but have never made it with sweet potatoes — I think I’ve been missing out! Thanks for the idea.

I love the flavour combinations of this dish – particularly the sweet potato with the coconut oil and that hint of tarragon.

Coconut oil is a recent addition to my recipes. It’s a very nice change from olive oil.
It sounds just wonderful, tasty, and looks so inviting! Thank you for sharing

You and I would definitely agree on that point!
oh, I dunno, I think this goes together really well, although probably would’ve used more sweet potatoes and less apples, but that’s just me, a southern thing…

I’m a big sweet potato fan, so it wouldn’t have hurt my feelings to use all sweet potatoes. Hmmmm sounds like I need to give that try.
This is a great start to the day! I often enjoy a hash-brown/ potato topped with a runny egg in the morning and this just mixes it up a little.

Potatoes and I are good friends too. I love them in any form.
Its so much fun when you put together some not-typically used together ingredients and it ends up being really good! Apple and sweet potato sounds great together.

It’s true, I really had a good time doing something different.
Ooh that is such a lovely meal…I made a similar hash one time, but with brussel sprouts included. I think a fried egg is the perfect topping for everything!
Great idea. We love brussel sprouts in this house.
At least combination of eggs and apples I always liked
and you even added sweet potatoes

I like eggs with anything! Especially cage free. They have an amazingly beautiful yolk.
I love the idea of sweet potato-apple hash! A terrific combination for sure!

The sweet potatoes and apples really combined well. They caramelized so well in the pan.
Sometimes the most unusual ingredients if combined make a very tasty and coherent result. I would like to have tasted that!

It’s true. I’m having a good time hunting down recipes with interesting combinations these days.
I know what you mean about food boredom. It is hard sometimes to come up with exciting dishes especially after all the hoilidays and festivities. Apples and sweet potatoes sound like a great combination to me and I can have eggs any time of the day.
I’m with you, eggs are great any time of the day.
Fried eggs and anything always catches my attention. I think this sounds great…love that sweet/salty aspect.

Fried eggs catch my attention too. They’re such a simple, easy way to add protein to a meal, aren’t they?
You did a great job coming up with something new for breakfast (my favorite meal of the day). I love eggs with some kind of hash and this sounds like a perfect combination. Thanks much!

I really liked the combination of apples and sweet potato. It worked so well with the eggs!
Ick. I hate food boredom. I’ve been in quite a slump myself. That and the chances for writer’s cramp is putting a wrench in my blogging. But, I love the idea of adding apples to potatoes. Very creative. I may have to try this on the weekend and see if my fiance notices.

Both are sweet so they worked well together. I wasn’t sure about adding onion, but was glad I did.
Good morning!
I made this recipe this morning and loved it! I didnt have the tarragon on hand or the onion so I made a few substitutions. I linked back to you for recipe credit
