Sweet Potato Hash (With An Egg!)

• Sweet Potato Hash
• 1 sweet potato, scrubbed under warm water and diced into small cubes
• 1/2 white onion, chopped into 1" squares
• 1/2 small red pepper, diced smaller than potato cubes
• 1/2 apple, diced smaller than potato cubes
• 1 handful feta cheese crumbles
• 1-2 green onion (or chive) stems, chopped (optional)
• 1 tablespoon fresh parsley, chopped (optional)
• 1/4 teaspoon sea salt
• 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
• 1/4 teaspoon red chili flakes
• 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder (or 1 clove, minced)
• 1/4 teaspoon cumin
• 1/4 teaspoon rosemary
• Poached (or Fried) Egg
• 1 egg
• 1 splash vinegar

1. Fill pot of water and bring to boil.
2. Chop sweet potato into 1 inch cubes (I like skin on - has nutrients!)
3. Boil sweet potato cubes for 5 minutes to soften a bit. Then drain and set aside.
4. While potatoes are boiling, chop your onion and red pepper.
5. Add olive oil to skillet and heat over medium/high flame. Sprinkle red pepper flakes.
6. Add onion and red pepper to skillet for a few minutes. Sprinkle garlic powder. Reduce heat to medium if pan is getting too hot.
7. Add sweet potato cubes. Sprinkle cumin.
8. Chop green onion / chives, and apple into small cubes (I made mine smaller than the potato cubes because I didn't want them to compete). Add to skillet, sprinkle with rosemary, and stir.
9. cover skillet with a lid. You can turn the flame up so it begins to brown a bit. Stir every couple min. If it feels too dry, add a little olive oil.rnCover skillet with a lid.

10. Add feta crumbles now if you want them to melt a bit, or add at the end when plated.
11. Turn off flame (or very very low) while you prepare egg.
12. If poaching an egg is too risky (I've failed many a times attempting poached eggs!), this dish would work just as well with a fried egg.
13. If poaching, fill pot (same one you used to boil potatoes) with ~4 inches of water.
14. Heat water - but don't let water boil. Just so small bubbles start to form on bottom of pot.
15. Add a splash of vinegar to the water. The vinegar helps to "tighten" the egg as it cooks.
16. Crack egg into small bowl (this makes it easier to slide egg gently into water).
17. When water is heated (not boiling), swirl the water around using a spatula so it forms a whirlpool.
18. Gently slide the egg into the middle of the whirlpool. Let it be - it may look like the white of egg is going everywhere, but its fine.
19. Let cook 3-4 minutes and remove with slotted spoon.
20. In the meantime, go back to your hash and continue to stir it, scrapping the bottom if its beginning to brown a bit. I like when it browns and crisps. Add feta crumbles if you haven't already. Plate the hash and gently place poached egg on top. Sprinkle egg with pepper. Serve immediately.
