Sweet Potato Breakfast Hash Recipe

Sweet Potato Breakfast Hash Recipe – Easy AIP Diet, Paleo, Whole 30 & Vegan Friendly Breakfast Ideas that you can meal prep in a simple batch cooking session. 

Sweet Potato Breakfast Hash

Through my first week on The AIP Diet, I found that a sweet potato hash quickly became my new favorite breakfast. There are just so many ways to enjoy the hearty dish with compliant ingredients that have so much flavor. 

I adore this combination of ingredients, which I’ve never really experimented with before. I never knew how much I’d enjoy the delicious flavor of sweet potatoes, apples and a few other veggies for breakfast. 

This great breakfast is a good idea any time of day, it makes a brilliant breakfast for dinner or lunch on the go meal as well, especially on busy weekdays.

How To Make The Quick Breakfast

To actually make the sweet potato breakfast hash is easy – it’s just a matter of chopping all of the ingredients into bite sized pieces and then frying them in a single layer until they are golden and done to your liking.

Here are some ideas for ingredients to include in your breakfast hash that are both AIP and Non AIP friendly.  

You can really include any vegetables you like at the given moment – simply chop them all into bite sized pieces and pop them into the frying pan. I adore apples in my breakfast hash, but you can make a veggie only hash and just skip the apples if you prefer. 

You can feel free to add in other vegetables, depending on your own personal tastes and dietary requirements, such as bell peppers, mushrooms, red onion, green onion or swap the potatoes for white potatoes or regular potatoes if you include them in your diet.

You can season your breakfast hash with salt or an AIP friendly herb like sage, basil, thyme, fresh cilantro or rosemary. Also, you can add a touch of spice with pepper, Italian seasoning, garlic powder, red pepper flakes or your seasoning or herb of choice. 

For extra protein, depending on your diet you could add a fried egg (not AIP), nutritional yeast, your mince of choice (whether it’s meaty or vegetarian), nuts (not AIP), turkey sausage, Italian sausage, chicken sausage or any other breakfast protein you like.  

Make a vegan breakfast hash by including only plant based ingredients, including your choice of vegetables, apple if you like and a vegan friendly protein you can find at your local grocery store.

The best thing is that you can make a big batch to enjoy as a delicious meal for a weekend brunch, then store the rest of the hash to enjoy as breakfast meals through the week.

Or, you can spend a bit of time over the weekend and have a batch cooking session where you make this breakfast recipe and other healthy meal recipes, storing them in an airtight container for the week.

I find that a bit of meal prep really helps makes it easy to follow a diet like the AIP Diet and this healthy breakfast hash keeps really well in the fridge for days.

6. Peel and chop the apple into small pieces and add to the sweet potato mixture in the frying pan. 
7. Add salt to taste, more coconut oil when needed and cook until all the vegetables have softened and browned to your liking.

I’ve been enjoying so many variations of this dish for breakfast. It’s just so versatile and you can add in any vegetables lurking in your fridge, needing to be used. The constants for me are always sweet potato, apple, onion and garlic – the combination of sweet and savoury is just breakfast perfection!
