This week the bag from Glade Road Growing will include sweet peppers, and baby spinach. This hash makes a nice side to serve with leftover roast chicken or pork.
If you'd like to make it a vegetarian meal instead, after the hash is cooked, stir in 2 cups of cooked drained black beans. Divide the hash into four sections. Make a slight well in the center of each section and crack a duck egg (or chicken egg) into each well. Turn down heat to medium low and cover and cook for for another 4 minutes. For a vegan version, substitute tofu "sour cream" for the eggs, but only heat until it's warmed through.
Serves 4

2 sweet potatoes, peeled and cubed
1 large onion, peeled and coarsely diced
1 red bell red bell pepper, diced
