Ingredients You’ll Need

This recipe is fully customizable, but to stay true to the First Watch version, here’s what you’ll need:

• 2 cups sweet potatoes, peeled and diced
• ½ red onion, sliced
• ½ red bell pepper, diced
• 1 apple, cored and diced (Honeycrisp or Gala)
• 1 cup cooked pork shoulder or thick bacon, chopped
• 2 eggs (fried or poached)
• 2 tablespoons goat cheese or ricotta
• 1 tablespoon olive oil
• 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
• Salt and black pepper to taste
• Hot honey for drizzling (store-bought or homemade)

Optional Add-Ins

• Brussels sprouts, halved and roasted
• Arugula or spinach
• Chopped pecans or walnuts
• Pumpkin seeds for crunch

How to Make Copycat Million Dollar Harvest Hash

Step 1: Roast the Sweet Potatoes

Preheat your oven to 425°F. Toss the diced sweet potatoes in a little olive oil, smoked paprika, salt, and pepper. Spread them on a baking sheet in a single layer and roast for 20–25 minutes, flipping halfway through, until they’re golden and tender.

Step 2: Cook the Pork or Bacon

While the sweet potatoes roast, cook your pork or bacon until crispy. If using leftover pork shoulder, reheat it in a skillet with a touch of oil to get the edges crisp. Set aside once done.

Step 3: Sauté the Veggies and Apple

In the same skillet, add a bit more olive oil if needed. Sauté the red onion and bell pepper over medium heat for about 5 minutes until soft. Toss in the diced apple and cook for another 3 to 4 minutes. You want the apple to soften slightly but not lose its bite.

Step 4: Combine and Heat

Once the potatoes are done, add them to the skillet with the sautéed mixture. Add the pork or bacon back in and gently stir to combine. Let it cook for 2 to 3 minutes so everything is warmed through and slightly crisped on the bottom.

Step 5: Cook the Eggs

Fry or poach two eggs to your liking. Over easy or poached eggs with runny yolks work best, adding a rich texture when broken over the hash.

Step 6: Assemble and Serve

Spoon the hash mixture into two serving bowls or cast iron skillets. Top each with a fried or poached egg. Crumble goat cheese or spoon ricotta over the top. Drizzle generously with hot honey and serve immediately.

How to Make Hot Honey at Home

If you don’t have hot honey on hand, make your own by combining:

• ¼ cup honey
• ½ to 1 tsp red pepper flakes
• Heat in a small saucepan for 2 to 3 minutes on low. Let cool and strain before drizzling.

You can also add a dash of apple cider vinegar or lemon juice for a tangy finish.

Why This Recipe Works

• Balanced flavors: Sweet potatoes, apples, and honey balance out the savory pork and tangy cheese.
• Texture contrast: Soft veggies, crispy meat, creamy cheese, and runny egg yolks create layers of texture.
• Seasonal ingredients: Perfect for fall and winter, but adaptable year-round.
• One-skillet option: Once the potatoes are roasted, everything can be finished in one pan for easy cleanup.

Tips for the Best Harvest Hash

• Don’t overcrowd the skillet: Crispness comes from spacing, not steaming.
• Roast in advance: Prep sweet potatoes ahead of time to make this a 15-minute meal.
• Customize the heat: Add jalapeños or hot sauce if you like more spice.
• Use a cast iron skillet: It holds heat well and gives a great sear to everything.

Serving Suggestions

Pair your hash with:

• Toasted sourdough or ciabatta
• A side salad with balsamic vinaigrette
• Fresh-squeezed orange juice or a fall-inspired latte

This recipe also makes a great meal prep option. Make a large batch of hash (minus the eggs), refrigerate for up to 4 days, and reheat portions as needed. Add a fresh egg and drizzle of honey right before serving.
