Servings: 2

Equipment
- 1 spatula
Ingredients
- 2 cups sweet potato or yam, peeled and medium-diced. This is about one large fist-sized potato.
- 1 cup Brussels sprouts, trimmed and halved, about one large handful. Keep those loose leaves, too!
- 1 cup kale, washed, de-stemmed, and sliced into thin ribbons
- 1 tablespoon raw pumpkin seeds
- 1 - 2 tablespoons olive oil, coconut oil, or clarified butter/ghee - recipe
- salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
- Heat a large stainless steel skillet for 1-2 minutes.
- Heat 1–2 tablespoons of oil or clarified butter over medium-high heat for about 1 minute. Have a lid nearby.
- Add the diced sweet potatoes and halved Brussels sprouts, placing the sprouts cut-side down if possible. Sprinkle with a pinch of salt.
- Lower the heat to medium or medium-low (as long as you still hear it cooking). Cover the pan and let it cook undisturbed for 4 minutes
- Remove the lid and stir with a sharp spatula. If any pieces are browning too fast, lower the heat or add a bit more oil.
- Add the kale and pumpkin seeds (if using), and stir everything to combine.
- Cover again and cook undisturbed for another 4–5 minutes.
- Uncover and test the sweet potatoes with a fork — they should be tender and lightly browned. Your kale should be wilted, not yet crispy.
- If your hash needs more time, cook it a minute or two longer.
- If you want a crispier hash, remove the lid and cook for a minute or two without stirring; you don't want it to mash.
- Serve breakfast hash with a side of over-easy eggs or scrambled!
Notes:
*Note: I have played with the numbers in this recipe. If your pan or gas stove conducts heat fast or you use an oil or butter with a higher smoking point, your potatoes can burn, so keep your pan on lower heat and turn it down, or cook longer if necessary. Practice your hash until you get it just right for you!
