Sweet potato hash is diced or shredded sweet potato sautéed in a skillet or on a griddle with a little oil or butter until crisp outside and tender within. Onions, garlic, peppers, bacon, or chorizo are commonly cooked in with it, and it's seasoned with salt, pepper, and other spices to taste. Hash is typically served for breakfast or brunch alongside eggs, sausage, or pancakes, but also works as a base for breakfast burritos, a topping for burgers or tacos, or a side for roasted meat or fish. Regional variations range from Cajun-spiced versions in the American South to hash made with chorizo and cumin in the Southwest.
