Hash may have a reputation for being a greasy spoon special, but this kale hash, which can be enjoyed for breakfast, brunch, lunch, or dinner on your days of cleansing, will change your idea of the dish. Sweet potatoes add substance, nutrition, sweetness, and a great depth of flavour in place of the usual floury white potatoes.
Tip
Replace sweet potato with cubes of butternut squash or a mixture of root vegetables for an equally nourishing hash.
