Smoky Bacon Sweet Potato Hash & Eggs – a great 30 minute recipe that’s paleo & gluten free! I guarantee you’ll want to devour it for breakfast, lunch, and dinner!
Sometimes “adulting” is hard.
I mean think about it. You have to wake up … intentionally … every day, start the morning with a cup of coffee, workout so your body doesn’t go to (you know where), some people head to work for 8+ hours, or others are at home taking care of little ones and forced to repeat the same thing over and over gain, make dinner, go to bed and do the same thing all over again the next day.
Somedays I wish all I had to do was sit on the beach, with a drink in my hand, watching the waves crash on the shore.
But then I’m brought back to reality… and you know what. I’m okay with my reality. I’m sitting at my office desk right now looking at the pictures of my handsome husband and sweet little boy. In almost every picture he has a HUGE beaming smile with the cutest dimples that’ll make you melt. So much joy, innocence, and love of life in those eyes! I hope that never changes.
So if my “adulting” days look like I’m a hot mess most of the time, covered in dried up yogurt, sharpie markers, and cheese stuck in my hair. I’m ok with that, because this little family I have makes it all worth while. 🙂
Something else that makes everything “worthwhile.” Breakfast … Everyday … for every meal!
Breakfast is probably one of my favorite meals of the day and is also the ONLY meal that can be eaten for all three meals. Now that’s saying something!
If you don’t know yet, you’re gonna know now. I adore Smoked Paprika. If you were to ask me what are some of the staple spices I have in my pantry, Smoked Paprika would be one of the first ones I say. It’s different that regular paprika, it has this rich deep smoky note to it that is absolutely irresistible. It adds so much flavor to a dish just by adding a teaspoon.
So when I was putting this Sweet Potato Hash together I knew I wanted a few ingredients, Smoked Paprika, runny eggs, avocado, and BACON.
What about this dish does NOT sound delicious to you!?
Bacon and Avocado people … make it!
This Smoky Bacon Sweet Potato Hash & Eggs is made all in one skillet and finished in 30 minutes!
The flavors bursting out of this dish are absolutely incredible, you’ll feel like you’re in breakfast heaven .. and the best part is it’s only 209 calories a serving with 10 grams of protein!
This will motivate any non morning person to wake up … I know because I am one!
Bon Appetit my friends!

SUCH a great reminder to celebrate the blessings in life, even when that life involves a lot of “adulting.” Thanks lady <3
haha.. right! Adulting is tough. 🙂
This dish is totally amazing Krista! Such a hearty breakfast!
Thank you so much Debra!

Thanks Cathy!
I agree – adulting is hard work! But man give me this bacon and avocado studded deliciousness and I’d never complain again!
haha… LOVE IT! Bacon and Avocado to solve the day … EVERYTIME!
Krista,
Do you drain the bacon grease before you cook the potatoes or cook the potatoes in it?
Thanks!

I don’t. I actually didn’t end up with too many when I cooked it in the cast iron. However, if you end up with a lot. I would reserve only 1 tablespoon to cook with and toss the rest. 🙂
Perfect brunch recipe! Sweet potatoes go with pretty much EVERYTHING. Go skillet food!
Yes they do, and add a little bit of sweetness! YUM!
This looks nice but your blog is absolutely atrocious in terms of user-friendliness. You have squeezed so many adverts and pop ups in that it is difficult to read and use. I won’t be returning.
I’m sorry to hear that. After your post I did contact my ad company and had them decrease the amount of ads because it was starting to get out of control. Thank you for your insight.
Wow this recipe took me over an hour! I don’t know how you plan to chop a red pepper, 2 sweet potatoes, onion and bacon in 5 minutes. Definitely not accurate time estimations for a human being.
Oh I’m sorry to hear that Kate. I must be a fast chopper. 🙂 I can definitely change the prep time to accommodate a little more “chopping time”
