How to Make Smoky Sweet Potato Hash With Baked Eggs And Manchego

Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C).
In a large oven-safe skillet (cast iron is ideal), heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil over medium heat.
Add 1.5 lbs of diced sweet potatoes and cook, stirring occasionally, until browned and slightly softened, about 10-12 minutes.
Add 1/2 cup chopped scallions, 2 cloves minced garlic, and 1 teaspoon smoked paprika (or 1/2 teaspoon pimentón, crushed red pepper flakes, or chipotle flakes). Cook for 1 minute more, stirring constantly to prevent burning.
Season the hash generously with salt and freshly ground black pepper.
Bake the hash for 10-15 minutes, or until the potatoes are tender.
Using the back of a spoon, create 4 wells in the hash, spacing them evenly.
Crack one large egg into each well. Season lightly with salt and pepper.
Sprinkle 1/2 cup grated Manchego cheese over the eggs and hash.
Bake for 18-20 minutes, or until the egg whites are set and the yolks are still runny. Adjust baking time depending on your oven and desired yolk consistency.
Serve immediately. Garnish with fresh herbs (optional).
