# Step-by-Step Guide:
01 - In a large skillet, cook chopped bacon over medium heat until crisp and rendered, about 6-8 minutes. Transfer bacon to a paper towel-lined plate, reserving 1 tablespoon of drippings in the pan.
02 - Add olive oil to the pan along with onion and bell pepper. Sauté until fragrant and softened, approximately 5 minutes.
03 - Add diced sweet potatoes to the skillet. Season with smoked paprika, black pepper, and kosher salt. Stir and cook, covered, stirring occasionally, until sweet potatoes are fork-tender, around 12-15 minutes.
04 - Return cooked bacon to the skillet. Stir to combine and continue cooking uncovered for 3-4 minutes, allowing the hash to brown.
05 - Top hash with freshly chopped parsley and, if desired, serve with fried or poached eggs.
