How to Make Baked Chorizo and Sweet Potato Hash


Step 1 – Heat the oven

Preheat the oven to 425°F (220°C). Line a large sheet pan with parchment.


Step 2 – Season the hash base

In a bowl, combine the diced chorizo, onion, and sweet potatoes with 1 teaspoon salt, black pepper, smoked paprika, and olive oil. Toss to coat. Spread evenly on the sheet pan.


Step 3 – Roast

Bake for 15 minutes, stir, then continue roasting for another 15–20 minutes until the sweet potatoes are browned and crisp.


Step 4 – Add the eggs

Remove the pan and carefully crack the eggs over the hash, spacing them apart. Season lightly with salt and pepper. Return to the oven and bake until the whites are set but the yolks remain runny, about 10 minutes.


Step 5 – Finish

Top with sliced scallions and serve immediately.

Recipe Notes

Chorizo: Spanish cured chorizo works best here. If using Mexican chorizo, cook and crumble it first before roasting with the potatoes.

Eggs: For firmer yolks, bake for an extra 2–3 minutes.

Make it vegetarian: Omit the chorizo and add extra smoked paprika or sautéed mushrooms.

Serving suggestion: Serve with crusty bread to scoop up the hash and yolk.

FAQ

Can I make this on the stovetop instead of the oven?
Yes. Cook the chorizo and onion in a skillet, then add the sweet potatoes. Cover and cook until tender, stirring often. Add eggs at the end, either baked in the pan or fried separately.

What type of sweet potato works best?
Orange-fleshed sweet potatoes hold up well, but any variety can be used.

Can I prep this ahead?
You can dice the sweet potatoes and onion in advance, and even roast the hash base a few hours ahead. Add eggs and finish before serving.

Can I substitute regular potatoes?
Yes. Yukon Golds or Russets work well but may take slightly longer to crisp.

How do I reheat leftovers?
Reheat in a hot skillet or oven to restore crispness. The eggs won’t be runny the second time around, so consider frying fresh eggs on top.
