The Recipe

Ingredients & Instructions

Everything you need to make this dish at home.

Ingredients

  • 3 large sweet potatoes, peeled and diced
  • 1 large yellow onion, thinly sliced
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 tablespoon unsalted butter
  • 2 tablespoons fresh sage, chopped
  • 1/4 cup pure maple syrup
  • 2 tablespoons bourbon
  • Salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste
  • 4 large eggs (optional, for serving)

Instructions

  1. Heat olive oil and butter in a large skillet over medium heat until melted and shimmering.
  2. Add the sliced onions and cook slowly, stirring occasionally, until deeply caramelized and golden brown, about 15 minutes.
  3. Meanwhile, in a separate pan, sauté the diced sweet potatoes with a pinch of salt over medium heat until tender and lightly browned, about 10 minutes.
  4. Combine the caramelized onions with the sweet potatoes in the skillet. Stir in chopped sage and season with salt and pepper.
  5. In a small bowl, whisk together maple syrup and bourbon.
  6. Pour the maple bourbon glaze over the sweet potato hash and stir to evenly coat. Cook for an additional 3-5 minutes until the glaze thickens slightly.
  7. Optional: In a separate pan, cook eggs to your preference (fried or poached) and serve atop the hash.
  8. Serve hot, garnished with extra fresh sage if desired.
