It’s best to store your sweet potato hash in a sealed container in the fridge. I like using these for meal prep! If you just want containers for meal prep then, I like these.

• Switch up the way you make your eggs! Scrambled, fried, poached or hardboiled are a few options that would be great on top!
• Add a drizzle of hot sauce or your favorite sauce.

Can I meal prep this for the week?

Yes! You can meal prep the sweet potato hash if you want to have this for breakfast for the week. I like using these containers for storage in the fridge!

While I do think the sweet potato cooks best when sauteed in the cast iron skillet, you can also cook this in a non-stick pan.
