Steps

You’ll need: large skillet with a lid (12-inch), spatula.

  1. Heat the oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the sweet potatoes in an even layer, cover and cook 8 minutes, stirring once, until they start to soften.
  2. Uncover, add the onion, bell pepper, paprika, salt and pepper and cook 8 to 10 minutes, stirring now and then, until the potatoes are tender and browned in spots.
  3. Stir in the garlic and kale and cook 2 to 3 minutes, until the kale wilts.
  4. Make 4 wells in the hash and crack an egg into each. Cover and cook over medium-low heat 5 to 7 minutes, until the whites and yolks are firm (160°F).
  5. Season the eggs with a pinch of salt and pepper and serve from the skillet.

🌡 Safe temperaturesEgg dishes 160°F. Check the thickest part with a food thermometer (USDA). More on food safety.
