Being a grown-up has its perks, and among them is being able to make breakfast for dinner. On occasion, I’ll fix a savory waffle or two -- but a hash is truly a treat at my table. Some cooks use hash as a means to expel their refrigerator of odds and ends (for me, thus is often the fate of the humble frittata), but this made-to-order plate takes all of what is fresh and flavorful from our changing season right now and tosses it together. 

Sweet Potato, Radicchio + Tomato Hash with Harissa Hollandaise

2 large egg yolks
1 tablespoon harissa
1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
6 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted and warm
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
3 tablespoons grapeseed or olive oil, divided
2 medium sweet potatoes, coarsely grated
1 cup grape tomatoes, halved
1 packed cup chopped radicchio (from 1/2 small head)
4 large eggs

As a freelance food writer and cook, I first wrote this style of recipe as a column on my blog, The Wright Recipes, as an excuse to cook good food for my friends in a quick and simple way. 

Twenty-Dollar, Twenty-Minute™ Meals grew into a cookbook that was published by Workman in May 2013. The recipes found here are original, made especially for Food52 to once again celebrate simple food with friends.

Made this last night -- totally delicious and a great breakfast-for-dinner meal but I do think it's worth specifying in the recipe how to add the Harissa. My first hollandaise broke and I think it had something to do with the oil content of the paste, as round 2 worked perfectly when I just used the spice mix. Anyway, please disregard if you've had no problems but I thought it was worth pointing out!

Does this use dry harissa or a paste? I love the idea of adding heat to a hollandaise.

I used the paste. It worked well. Let me know what you thought!
