Sweet Potato Hash
All spuds are welcome in a hearty skillet hash—that couldn't be more true with this sweet potato hash. Sweet potatoes are the stars here—they go so well with the smoky bacon and savory cumin and paprika. A cast-iron skillet helps give the potatoes and peppers those slightly charred edges everyone loves.

About This Calculation
Sweet Potato Hash has a medium glycemic load of 19.9 per serving — moderate blood sugar impact — portion size and meal composition matter.
The primary glycemic load contributors are sweet potato (GL 19.5), red bell pepper (GL 0.2), scallions (GL 0.1). These ingredients account for the majority of the carbohydrate impact per serving.
Glycemic load is calculated as GL = (GI × Net Carbs per serving) ÷ 100, where GI is the glycemic index and net carbs exclude dietary fiber. Calculations draw on established nutritional references including USDA FoodData Central values and peer-reviewed glycemic index research.
