A simple dish that works wonders for breakfast, lunch, or dinner? Ham hash with fried eggs is the answer, with eggs just as you like them: over easy, sunny side up scrambled, or hard-boiled.
Of course, you'll find all sorts of casserole recipes for a ham hash with sweet potatoes, and we love those too, though, on occasion, we just prefer our trusty skillet - it is the true Paleo tool.

A skillet should hold a special place in your kitchen as it embodies a whole range of amazing dishes, from Keto tacos to fried honey bananas. What's that, if not versatility in cooking?
Now, at some point, you may question the consumption of sweet potatoes on your Paleo journey. Paleo is not a low-carb lifestyle, and sweet potatoes are on the top as the most common Paleo starch.
Sweet potatoes are abundant in Vitamins A and C, antioxidants, and they also contain elevated levels of manganese and B6. They are super versatile and can be added to sweet or savory dishes. If you're going for a lower carb count, try switching them out for some cauliflower or summer squash.
So, go ahead and get your sweet potato and ham hash on! Just remember the fresh spinach and basil leaves; it's always a wonderful sight to have green on the plate.
