Instructions
- Step 1: Heat 2 tbsp coconut oil in a large skillet over medium heat until shimmering. Add 1 lb ground beef and cook for 6-7 minutes, breaking apart until browned with no pink visible.
- Step 2: Add 1 diced medium yellow onion and 2 minced garlic cloves to the skillet. Sauté with the beef for 4 minutes until the onion is translucent and fragrant.
- Step 3: Stir in 2 cups diced sweet potatoes, 1 tsp smoked paprika, 1/2 tsp ground cumin, 1 tsp sea salt, and 1/2 tsp black pepper. Mix well to combine all ingredients.
- Step 4: Cover the skillet with a lid and reduce heat to medium-low, cooking for 12-15 minutes until sweet potatoes are tender when pierced with a fork, stirring occasionally to prevent sticking.
- Step 5: Remove lid, increase heat to medium, and cook uncovered for 3-4 minutes to brown and crisp the edges of the sweet potatoes slightly.
- Step 6: Sprinkle 2 tbsp chopped fresh parsley over the hash and gently stir before serving hot.
