“Masala” refers to a mixture of ground spices used in Indian cooking, and here, it transforms this simple hash into something truly special. Garam masala, turmeric, coriander, and paprika create layers of warmth and depth. The ghee enhances every bite with a buttery, dairy-free richness.
This hash is hearty enough to stand on its own, but if you have leftovers, they store well in the fridge for 3 to 4 days. Reheat and top with freshly fried eggs, or serve alongside grilled chicken, steak, or fish for a satisfying meal.
Pro tip
Brown the onions well before adding your spices to deepen their flavor. Browning the onions will help bring out their flavor and add richness to the dish. Let the tomatoes soften by gently pressing them with the back of your spoon—they’ll help create a rich, saucy base for the sweet potatoes.
Ingredient swaps
No ghee? No problem. Use avocado oil for a neutral alternative. Want more spice? Drizzle with compatible chili oil and garnish with extra fresh cilantro before serving. Now you can dig in and enjoy this Masala Sweet Potato Hash and Egg!
