Ingredients

2 large, ripe avocados

1 tablespoon juice from 1 lime

Kosher salt and cracked black pepper

1/2 pound bacon, cut into 1/2-inch pieces

1 tablespoon butter

1 medium onion, finely chopped

1 large sweet potato peeled and cut into 1/2-inch cubes

2 tablespoons vegetable oil

4 eggs

Directions

Combine avocado and lime juice in a food processor and process until a lumpless cream forms, scraping down sides as necessary. Season to taste with salt and pepper. Transfer to a bowl and set aside. Cook bacon in a large skillet over medium high heat, stirring occasionally, until crisp, about 8 minutes. Transfer to a paper towel-lined plate with a slotted spoon. Pour bacon fat into small bowl and reserve. Heat butter in a large stainless steel or nonstick skillet over medium high heat until melted. Add chopped onion and cook, stirring frequently, until onion just begins to brown, about 7 minutes. Pour 1 tablespoon bacon fat over browned onions, then add cubed sweet potato to pan, tossing until sweet potato are coated in oil. Reduce heat to medium, cover with a lid and cook, shaking and tossing occasionally, until sweet potato is softened though, about 15 minutes. Remove lid and increase heat to high. Cook, tossing occasionally, until well browned, about 5 minutes. Stir in chopped bacon, season to taste with salt and pepper, remove from heat and cover until ready to serve. Heat vegetable oil in a large non-stick skillet over high heat until shimmering, fry remaining eggs until desired doneness. Season with salt and pepper. Divide hash between 4 plates, top each plate with a fried egg and a dollop of avocado cream. Serve immediately.
