Sweet Potato Hash with Salmon and Eggs

This sweet potato hash features perfectly seasoned salmon and delicately poached eggs. This dish makes a hearty breakfast or dinner, you decide!

I like to make potato hash, like my Southwestern Potato Hash recipe as a breakfast meal because it’s easy and filling. I love topping it with eggs too, but this time I took it up a notch and made this sweet potato hash recipe that is perfect for breakfast or dinner.

Made with fresh cooked salmon this meal is healthy and filling. The savory taste is perfect for a dinner but this can also be served up as the best breakfast sweet potato hash too.

Salmon and Potato Hash

This salmon and sweet potato recipe has it all. The crispy, salty bacon is a great partner for sweet potato and mild salmon. The yolks from the eggs almost form a sauce as they break open. The whole thing is rather heavenly. Making this salmon hash is also incredibly easy even if the dish does sound rather fancy.

If you haven’t made a poached egg before, have no fear. I believe it sounds more intimidating than it actually is. A poached egg is similar to a fried egg in appearance, but there is no fat involved. Simply bring vinegar-infused water to a simmer, carefully drop your egg into the water (a cup is very useful for this step) and let the water gently cook the egg. Easy like Sunday morning right?

How to Make Sweet Potato Hash with Salmon and Eggs

1. Cook your bacon in a skillet until nice and crispy. Remove the bacon and then set it aside.
2. Remove the skin from your salmon and cut the fish into cube-sized pieces.
3. Add the salmon to the bacon grease and cook until it’s just faintly pink and the fish begins to flake. This will take about 8 minutes. Remove the salmon and set it aside.

5. Add in the sweet potatoes.

FAQs

Is Sweet Potato Hash with Salmon Healthy?

This is a pretty good dish that can have you feeling full and happy about your choices. Salmon is high in omega 3’s and packed with protein while sweet potatoes are high in potassium and fiber. Add in the eggs which are also good for you and you have a pretty great dish to enjoy without ruining your diet.

How Long Are Leftovers Good For?

I wouldn’t recommend keeping leftovers for more than 3 days in an airtight container in the fridge. This will keep the eggs and salmon from spoiling. Reheat the dish before serving so that it’s still nice and warm.

What to Serve With Sweet Potato Hash

This dish could be great served alongside some simple side dishes like toast, dinner rolls, or fruit. Even serving it up with a simple green salad could be a viable option if you’re turning it into a dinner meal.
