I like to make this sweet potato hash with a mix of sweet potatoes and gold potatoes. It balances out the flavors and makes the recipe even lower in cost.You can choose to go 100% sweet potato, or a mix of sweet potato and your favorite potato. Either way you want about a pound of potatoes for this recipe. Special Tip: If you're not vegan and ok with eggs, topping this hash with a fried egg is a fantastic way to boost protein without increasing the cost too much. For my vegan readers, I have you covered in the toppings guide!
