The perfect dish for a homemade brunch, this savory sweet potato hash is as delicious as it is colorful. Crunchy bell peppers, sweet onions, and earthy kale add a satisfying depth of flavor and texture to this tender potato medley. While the veggies are cooking, whip up an easy avocado crema to drizzle over the top and get ready to dig in!

Tip: Leaving the skin on the sweet potatoes helps them stay intact and adds lots of color and fiber to this hash.

Very tasty. I like my sweet potatoes very spicy. This dish would make a great filling for sweet potato enchiladas, I think.

If I make the crema before the skillet is done, should it be refrigerated?
