Equipment

Ingredients

  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 small yellow onion diced
  • 2 cloves garlic minced
  • 2 cups butternut squash peeled and diced into ½–¾ inch cubes
  • 2 cups potatoes (Russet or Yukon gold) diced into ½–¾ inch cubes
  • 1 small red bell pepper diced
  • 2 teaspoons fresh sage chopped, plus extra for garnish
  • ½ teaspoon smoked paprika
  • Salt and black pepper to taste
  • 4 large eggs

Instructions

  • Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add diced onion and sauté for 3-4 minutes, until softened. Stir in minced garlic and cook for 30 seconds until fragrant.
  • Add the diced butternut squash, potatoes, and red bell pepper. Season with chopped sage, smoked paprika, salt, and pepper.
  • Cook, stirring occasionally, until the vegetables are golden and tender, about 15-20 minutes.
  • Make 4 small wells in the hash and crack an egg into each. Cover the skillet and cook for 3-5 minutes, or until egg whites are set and yolks are still slightly runny. Garnish with extra fresh sage and serve immediately.

Notes

  • Cut the squash and potatoes into evenly sized cubes (½–¾ inch) so they cook at the same rate.
  • Yukon gold potatoes hold their shape well, but russets give a crispier texture - use whichever you prefer.
  • If you like your eggs more cooked, leave the lid on a bit longer or flip them gently to make over-easy eggs.
  • This recipe works well with sweet potatoes too, just swap them in for the white potatoes.
  • Add chopped kale, spinach, or sausage for variation.
