Sometimes I find myself in a breakfast rut, particularly on the weekend. Routine is a good thing, but a rut? Not so much. A rut just feels meh. When I find myself in a breakfast rut, I turn to my list of 15 Different Ways to Cook Eggs for Breakfast. And today’s recipe, Sheet Pan Potato and Eggs Hash, is one of my favorites on this list! It’s made entirely on a sheet pan: cooked bacon and eggs with spinach and over easy eggs.

During the week a meal routine is life-giving. I like to repeat the same breakfasts Monday through Friday: oatmeal (the cold, make-ahead version or the warm, soaked version), eggs and sourdough toast (or occasionally a baked good that’s been prepared in advance on the weekend, such as: muffins, banana bread, pancakes, waffles, etc.), smoothies and sourdough toast, or granola with yogurt and fruit.
Keeping our morning meals consistent and routine has simplified our mornings, reduced my stress (because no one should ever be stressed about breakfast), and reduced the amount of time I spend planning meals.
The weekend, particularly Saturday morning when I’m not visiting the market to pick up my CSA goodies, is when we break our routine and make breakfast meals that require more time and effort to prepare.
This time brings our family together and help us reconnect in the kitchen and at the table. That, my friend, is why intentionally setting aside a day, or multiple days, to slow down and make good food in our own kitchen, is so valuable. Food becomes about more than just feeding our tummies. Food becomes an act of self-care (nourishing our bodies is the ultimate self-care), family-care (feeding the people we love is an act of care and love), and connection (the act of making and eating food brings us together)
A few of our favorite weekend breakfast meals include pancakes and waffles with sheet pan bacon and fruit on the side, french toast (and lately, french toast casserole — coming soon), sheet pan breakfast burritos, a frittata or a strata, and eggs with a potato hash.
I recently shared a photo of one of our weekend breakfast meals, a sheet pan-style potato, veggie, bacon, and egg hash, over on Instagram. A number of reader friends reached out asking for the recipe. I love that you all love good, simple food as much as I do! To honor the many requests, let’s make some hash.
This sheet pan-style potato and egg hash is incredibly easy to make because everything is made, as the name implies, on a single sheet pan. The potatoes, veggies, and bacon roast on the sheet pan until soft and the potatoes are slightly crisp on the edges. The sheet pan is then removed from the oven for just a minute so the leafy greens (an optional ingredient) and eggs may be added. The hash is then returned to the hot oven for another 6-8 minutes, until the egg whites are cooked and set and the yolk is either runny or cooked through, your choice. Easy, right?
While the hash cooks, you’ll have plenty of time to clean up the cutting board, make coffee, and sit and enjoy the weekend morning with your loves.

Sheet Pan Potato and Eggs Hash
Ingredients
- 1 1/2 lbs Yukon Gold potatoes (or other waxy potatoes) cubed
- 1/2 large bell pepper chopped, such as: red, yellow, or green
- 1/2 medium white onion chopped
- 3/4 tsp salt
- 1/2 tsp pepper
- 4 slices bacon roughly chopped
- 1 cup spinach or kale roughly chopped (optional)
- 4-6 eggs
Special Equipment
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 425F.
- Lightly grease a sheet pan so the potatoes won’t stick (I use a spritz of avocado oil spray). Add the potatoes, pepper, and onion to a sheet pan, and toss to combine. Add the salt and pepper, and toss to coat the veggies with the seasoning. Spread the veggies on the sheet pan, and sprinkle the bacon throughout the veggie mixture.
- Roast the mixture in the oven for 15 minutes.
- Quickly remove the sheet pan from the oven. Use a heavy spoon or spatula to toss the veggies and bacon together to evenly distribute the fat (from the bacon) with the veggies.
- Roast the veggies for another 30 minutes, or until soft and slightly crisp.
- Quickly remove the sheet pan from oven. Add the spinach and stir in with a heavy spoon or spatula. The heat from the sheet pan will begin to wilt the greens.
- Make 4-6 wells/nests and crack the eggs in each spot. Reduce the oven to 400F. Return to oven.
- Cook the mixture for 7-10 minutes, or until the egg whites are firm and the yolks are slightly runny, or cook longer until the yolks are firm (depending on preference). I recommend keeping an eye on the eggs through the oven door window. Serve warm.

What to Serve With This Recipe
This is a great protein-rich breakfast, lunch, or dinner. Serve this recipe on its own or with a breakfast side. Here are a few of my favorite side dishes:
- Chocolate Protein Yogurt: Super high in protein, this yogurt tastes like chocolate pudding.
- Toast: Toast and eggs are a classic. I love sourdough toast.
- Egg Sandwich: Use the egg(s) to make a sandwich.
- Overnight Oats: Make chocolate peanut butter oats or high protein overnight oats without yogurt the night before. Then serve with this recipe for a protein-rich meal.
- Avocado Toast: Top a slice of toast with mashed avocado and a squeeze of lemon juice and salt.
- Avocado Slices: For a healthy fat, add half an avocado (sliced) with lemon and salt sprinkled on top. Enjoy each bite of the omelette with a slice of avocado.
- Fruit: Serve alongside your favorite berries or seasonal fruit.
- Banana Bread: A classic, make it advance and enjoy all week for breakfast: almond flour banana bread, sourdough muffins, or maple-sweetened muffins.
- Yogurt Bowl: Serve alongside a nutrient-dense yogurt bowl.
- Bacon or Sausage Patties: Serve with oven-baked bacon or cooked sausage patties.
- Potatoes: Roast potatoes or make a sausage and potato hash.
- Pancakes or Waffles: Serve alongside sheet pan pancakes, pancake muffins, or almond-oat pancakes. Or, serve with almond flour waffles or einkorn waffles.
- Roasted Tomatoes: We visited France a few years ago and our hotel served eggs and roasted tomatoes each morning (among other things). Give it a try during the summer when fresh tomatoes are in season. Make the tomatoes in advance and warm them up in a skillet.
- Tropical Mango Pineapple Smoothie: A great source of healthy carbs, paired with this protein-rich breakfast.

Hi Kristen,
Love this recipe! Was wondering what your thoughts are on making this freezer friendly? Possibly preparing it up to some point before the eggs and having it mainly prepped in the freezer? Thanks so much! Always appreciate your fabulous recipes.
Hey Amanda, I’m so glad you love the recipe. I’ve never thought about that–great idea. I think you’re right–prepare it up to the point of cooking the eggs, then you could reheat the hash in the oven and cook the eggs at the same time. Let me know if you try it!
This is sooo good! Love making this in the morning. I also like to put sweet potatoes in it ??
Another great recipe…the second of yours that I’ve tried this week!! I eliminated the bacon, used sweet potatoes instead of white, and lined the sheet pan with parchment paper for easy clean up. The eggs looked so pretty nestled in the colorful array of veggies – and gave the recipe a nice addition of protein, which this vegetarian always appreciates! A quick and easy weekday dinner!
Yum, Betsy! I love your modifications! Thank you for coming back to share and rate the recipe, too.
Did this replace your older sheet pan hash recipe? I don’t recall the eggs being cooked on the sheetpan? Thanks!
Hey Stephanie, It’s a similar concept, I just added eggs to this one. You could definitely leave out the eggs, too.
This is just brilliant! I love a good breakfast hash, and what a fantastic idea to cook it all on a sheet pan!
Thank you, Erica!
