Usually, I don’t get too creative with breakfast during the week. Who has time? Well, some mornings you make time because you wake up and are craving eggs. And I can’t just cook eggs. I need to make an omelet, a scramble, or in today’s case, a hash. I often wish for a “breakfast fairy” that magically makes me a hot and fresh breakfast masterpiece. Yes, there’s a lot of amazing delivery services available in San Francisco. Sadly, breakfast delivery isn’t a reality between the hours of 7am-9am. (If you know of a place, please let me know.) While I wait for my wish to come true, I head to the kitchen and make my own hot and fresh breakfast masterpiece.

Sweet Potato Hash with Arugula and Bacon

Prep time 5-10 minutes, Cook time 15-20 minutes

Serves 2-3 people

Ingredients

• 1 tablespoon olive oil
• 2-3 strips of bacon, chopped (I just use kitchen shears to cut bite-size pieces)
• 1 large sweet potato, medium-diced
• 1 cup arugula, torn into bite-size pieces
• 5 eggs, beaten
• sea salt
• black pepper

Directions

Preheat a large skillet over medium high heat. Add chopped bacon and olive oil and cook for 2-3 minutes. Next, mix in sweet potato and cook for 8-10 minutes, stirring occasionally. Fold in eggs and cook for 2-3 minutes, stirring constantly. Stir in arugula and cook until wilted, approximately 1 minute. Remove from heat. Add a few grinds of salt and pepper to taste. Serve and start your day off right. Mmmm breakfast!
