Ingredients

Instructions

  1. Step 1: Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). Cut 1 cup sweet potatoes into 1/2-inch cubes, toss with 1 tsp oregano, and spread on a parchment-lined baking sheet. Roast for 20-25 minutes, stirring halfway, until tender and slightly caramelized with golden-brown edges. Tip: For extra crispiness, spread in a single layer.
  2. Step 2: Heat 1 tbsp olive oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Add 1 cup kale, stir frequently, and cook for 3-4 minutes until wilted and bright green. Add 1-2 tbsp water, cover, and cook 1 minute longer to soften. Tip: Avoid overcooking to maintain texture.
  3. Step 3: Fill a shallow pan with 2-3 inches of water, bring to a gentle simmer over medium heat. Add 2 eggs, gently lower into water using a spoon, and cook for 4-5 minutes until whites are set and yolks remain runny. Remove with a slotted spoon and drain on paper towels.
  4. Step 4: In a serving bowl, combine roasted sweet potatoes and sautéed kale. Top with poached eggs, drizzle with any remaining pan juices, and season with additional oregano to taste. Tip: Adjust salt and pepper as needed for balance.

How do I store leftover Mediterranean-American Sweet Potato and Egg Hash?

Can I substitute ingredients in Mediterranean-American Sweet Potato and Egg Hash?

Yes — most ingredients in this recipe have flexible swaps. For oil, use any neutral high-smoke-point oil (avocado, grapeseed, refined coconut). For aromatics, dried herbs at ⅓ the volume of fresh work in a pinch. The full ingredient list is shoppable on Instacart so you can see substitutes in real time.

How do I scale Mediterranean-American Sweet Potato and Egg Hash for a different number of people?

The recipe is written for 2 servings. Multiply each ingredient by (your serving target / 2). Cook time stays roughly the same up to 2x; for 3-4x batches, switch from a skillet to a sheet pan or stockpot so the food isn't crowded — overcrowding steams instead of browns.

Is Mediterranean-American Sweet Potato and Egg Hash vegetarian?

Yes — this recipe is tagged vegetarian based on its ingredient list. Always cross-check labels for packaged ingredients (sauces, broths, condiments) since formulations vary by brand.
