Earlier this week after I got done making Butternut Samosas, I had some leftover ingredients, so I threw this quick hash together. I didn’t think much of it at the time – I mean, we all do that, right? Throw things in a pan just because we have them and we think they might taste nice together? But from the first fork full, I knew I had to share this “recipe” with you: the rosemary complements the sweet potatoes deliciously, and the grated carrot adds just the right amount of interesting texture. Finish it off with the obligatory poached egg and you have a lovely, healthy little meal in just 15-20 minutes.

Looks perfect for this morning! Thanks for sharing this recipe – I’ve already pinned it!
Thanks so much, Mary Ann! Hope you enjoy it!
That sounds SO delicious!!!
I LOVE sweet potatoes and eggs! I’ve tried to make “hash” before but haven’t had the patience to grate the sweet potatoes. I could use the food processor grater blade, though!
Appetizing photo, too!
Yum! My husband loves hash, so this one might happen this weekend….
I’m sitting here eating the perfect potato hashbrowns, and thinking, “…next time…” 🙂
I love hashes as a way to use random leftover things, and they turn sometimes into delicious combinations that I’m not always sure I can recreate based on the way things get thrown together. I’ve never grated carrot into my hash, but I’ll have to remember that as a texture addition!
I think an over easy egg over anything is amazing. This looks amazing!
I love hashes just like Pech – they’re perfect for using up leftover veggies before they go bad. This looks delicious! And grated carrots, too? I’ve never thought of that and will have to try it. Thanks, Renee!
Grated carrots are a tasty way to get a little more nutrition into things, and add a little color and texture at the same time. I love them. (I do not, however, like sliced or whole cooked carrots. Go figure.)
It is so wonderful when “throwing” food together works out so well. Most times I just throw things together and it mostly works out 🙂
Love your sweet potato hash – it sounds so good and wish I had a plate full right now.
Such a quick and easy recipe! Love it!
That egg is so sexy! Great work–I love when something thrown together comes out like gold!
That is literally the first time anyone has ever called one of my eggs “sexy”… (which I suppose, read out of context, wouldn’t sound quite right)… nevertheless, thank you!
Love potato hash. Sweet potatoes and rosemary are GENIUS. 🙂
The rosemary was a happy accident as well: it is the only thing thriving in our herb garden right now!
This looks so yummy! Definitely going to try this for breakfast soon!
