Moderate Carb Breakfast Hash
If you are on the Paleo diet, or carb cycling, you will love this moderate carb and high protein breakfast that is easy to pull together. You will also love that it can be cooked in the same pot for minimal clean-up! Freshly ground pork is sauteed with kosher salt, granulated garlic, and black pepper. Feel free to use freshly minced garlic, too, as you can swap these interchangeably. Then, diced white onion is sauteed with white sweet potatoes for deliciously sweet and savory flavors. If you have never had white sweet potatoes, they are like a cross between Russet potatoes and sweet potatoes (meaning less sweet and more starchy)! The crisp red bell peppers are added along with nutritious lacinato kale. The mixture is combined to make a filling meal that works perfectly for leftovers.
Do I have to use unseasoned ground pork?
No, you do not have to use unseasoned ground pork. If you have no Paleo restrictions, you can use a premade Italian sausage blend. You can also find a few Paleo and Whole30 compliant breakfast sausages on the market. You can also feel free to get creative and add whatever sausage-like seasonings to the unseasoned ground pork.
What are other ingredient swaps I could make?
You could substitute the kale with baby spinach. You could substitute the white sweet potato with orange sweet potato as well. Feel free to use any Paleo-friendly fat like tallow, ghee, lard, or duck fat.
Can I add cheese?
While cheese is not Paleo-friendly, some people may still choose to eat cheese on occasion! Feel free to top the hash with shredded mozzarella cheese or finely shredded Mexican cheese to make the ultimate creamy and delicious topping for the breakfast hash! Crumbled feta would also be so delicious!
To make the ultimate pairing, serve this with other moderate carb recipes like our Moderate Carb Chicken Yakisoba to make for a delicious lunch.

50 min
Step 1
Prepare all the ingredients before starting to cook. Dice the white onion. Peel and cut the sweet potatoes into a small ½” dice. Chop the bell peppers into 1”x1” dice. Wash, spin dry, destem and slice the kale into thin slices. Set the ingredients aside.Step 2
Preheat a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. I like to use a blue steel pan. Add 1 tbsp avocado oil. Wait until a small wisp of smoke comes up from the pan. Add the ground pork.Step 3
Cook the pork, stirring occasionally. Add 1 ¼ tsp kosher salt, granulated garlic, and black pepper. Cook the pork until it is no longer pink and entirely cooked through. Place the pork into a bowl and set aside.Step 4
Add 2 tbsp of avocado oil to the same pan and swirl the pan to coat it. Add in the diced white onion and the diced sweet potato. Stir the mixture constantly for a while to make sure it is not sticking. If it does stick, add a small amount of oil and continue stirring. Add ½ tsp of kosher salt. Once the potatoes start to brown and soften, taste them to see how much longer you need to cook them. Also, check for taste, adding more salt as necessary.Step 5
Once the sweet potatoes are about 70% cooked. Add in the red bell pepper and the sliced kale. Cook until the bell pepper is softened but still crunchy.Step 6
Add the pork back to the pan. Stir everything well together—taste adjusting with salt or pepper until it is to your liking. Serve immediately!

Could be more Keto friendly replacing the sweet potatoes with turnips or cabbage. I'm going to try it that way.
