Hearty and cheesy cast iron sweet potato hash recipe that is the perfect comfort food recipe. Made with mushrooms, bell peppers and topped with cheese – Version 2

Who doesn’t like starting the day with a cheesy hash brown recipe?

It is so much fun to wake up in the morning and have the aroma of these sweet potato fries wafting from the kitchen.  My spidey senses can smell the oregano, onions, cheese and potatoes from a mile away.

That was just fine for me.  Hash browns are the greatest comfort food ever made.

I would ask them to slather it with onions, pepper and cheese.  Then I would douse them in ketchup and devour them.

Droooooolll…..

Traditionally, hash browns are shredded potatoes.  In my case, I went with the cubed version because that’s how I like my sweet potatoes.

I decided to take a little artistic license with this recipe.  I added bell peppers and mushrooms because I really wanted a hearty breakfast.  This will keep me full for the whole day.

If you are not a fan of sweet potatoes, you can also make it with Idaho potatoes. Check out this hashbrown casserole by When Is Dinner. I swapped out the cream of chicken for cream of mushrooms soup and it turned out so good. Or, make a vegetable breakfast casserole with just veggies like mushrooms and bell peppers.

Now, I am going to go dig into this hash brown.  I have plenty of forks, so, come by and dig in with me…

Instructions
 

To Bake Sweet Potato

  • Preheat oven to 400 degrees

  • Poke holes in the potato using a fork. I poke the potato in about 5 different locations
  • Lightly oil both sweet potatoes and wrap them in aluminum foil
  • Bake for 40 minutes. Remove from the oven and allow them to cool while still wrapped. Cut into cubes and set aside. Also, set the oven to 425°
  • While the potatoes are in the oven, make the vegetables

To make the vegetables

  • In a cast iron pan, heat 2 tsp of extra virgin olive oil on medium heat
  • Add ½ cup of finely chopped red onions.
  • When they have caramelized, add ½ cup of green bell pepper, finely chopped
  • When the bell peppers have softened (about 4 minutes), add 2 cups of cubed brown button mushrooms
  • Cook until the mushrooms are almost crispy (about 7-10 minutes)
  • Add 1 tsp crushed garlic, 1 tsp of crushed ginger, 1 Tbsp of flax meal and ½ of a jalapeno (finely chopped). Mix well
  • Add the cubed sweet potatoes
  • Add ½ tsp salt (or to taste), 1 tsp of olive oil, 1 tsp dried oregano, 1 tsp dried basil, ½ tsp ground pepper, ¼ tsp apple cider vinegar and ½ tsp of capers (optional). Mix well
  • Top with 2 cups of cheese. I used 1 cup shredded cheddar and 1 cup shredded mozzarella
  • Bake for 10 minutes or until the cheese has fully melted

Serve the sweet potato hash immediately

    1. Ok, so went to the board, and despite feeling I entered cheese heaven (which I did), I saw this pin for the Havarti and Ham Waffle Sandwich…OMG, What is not to love about that tasty dish? I discovered Havarti several years ago and it’s a favorite cheese, melts wonderfully, but the sweetness of the waffle and the salty of the ham…work of tasty genius!

    2. Seriously want to crawl through my screen and devour these. I can’t say enough about how delicious they look…I mean sweet potatoes and then you add Gouda…simply sinful and I am happy with that. Just add wine and I will be happy and content.

    3. Gouda is my family’s favorite! People always look at my kids strangely since my 5 and 3 year old know gouda, havarti, etc! lol
      I think this gouda skillet would be too die for! Getting the coupon and hoping I can find this cheese in my small town!
