• 1 tbsp garlic powder
• 1 tsp onion powder
• 1 tsp thyme
• ½ tsp black pepper
• 2 tsp salt
• ½ tsp paprika
• ¼ to ⅓ cup olive oil
• 3 tbsp minced garlic (from about 1 head)
• 1 medium onion, diced

Ingredient Highlights:

Sweet Potatoes: The star of the show! Go for firm, bright orange potatoes for that beautiful color and natural sweetness.

Garlic & Onion: These are sautéed separately for a mellow, caramelized flavor that complements the roasted potatoes beautifully.

How to Make Perfect Sweet Potato Hash

Step 1: Preheat and Prep
Preheat your oven to 450°F (230°C). Place your diced sweet potatoes in a large glass baking dish.

Step 2: Season and Oil
In a bowl, mix garlic powder, onion powder, thyme, pepper, salt, and paprika. Sprinkle this blend over the sweet potatoes, then drizzle with olive oil and toss to coat.

Step 3: Roast the Potatoes
Bake for 55–65 minutes, stirring every 20 minutes to prevent burning and ensure even crisping.

Step 4: Sauté Garlic and Onion
About 15 minutes before the potatoes are done, heat 1 teaspoon olive oil in a skillet. Sauté minced garlic and diced onion over medium heat for 12–15 minutes until soft and golden.

Step 5: Combine and Serve
Fold the sautéed garlic and onion into the roasted potatoes. Serve warm, optionally garnished with fresh herbs like parsley or thyme.

My Top Tips for the Best Sweet Potato Hash

• Cut evenly: Uniform potato pieces ensure even cooking and consistent texture.
• Don’t skip the stirring: Stirring during roasting helps prevent burning and promotes crispiness.
• Adjust the oil: Use a bit less if you want a drier hash or more if you love that crispy, caramelized edge.
• Customize the flavor: Try smoked paprika, cayenne, or cumin for different twists.
• Make it a meal: Top with a fried egg, avocado, or even a handful of greens!

How do I keep sweet potatoes from sticking?
Use enough oil and preheat the oven properly. Stirring every 20 minutes also helps prevent sticking and burning.
