Main Ingredients
- 2 medium sweet potatoes, peeled & diced into small cubes
- 1 tbsp olive oil (plus more as needed)

- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 tsp paprika
- ½ tsp chili powder
- ½ tsp salt (to taste)
- ¼ tsp black pepper

Instructions
- Heat the oil: Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat to prepare for cooking the sweet potatoes.
- Cook sweet potatoes: Add the diced sweet potatoes to the skillet and cook for 10 to 12 minutes, stirring occasionally, until they are softened and lightly browned on the edges.
- Add vegetables: Stir in the diced onion and bell pepper. Continue cooking for 5 more minutes until the vegetables are tender and slightly caramelized.

- Speed up cooking by microwaving the diced sweet potatoes for 2 minutes before pan-frying.
- Add protein such as sausage, chorizo, or black beans for a heartier meal.
- Make it spicy by adding diced jalapeños or chipotle powder to the hash.
