Peel the sweet potato and dice it into small, uniform 1/2-inch cubes to ensure even cooking.
Heat the olive oil in a large non-stick skillet over medium-high heat.
Add the sweet potato cubes to the skillet and cook for 8-10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until they are tender and golden brown.
While the potatoes cook, finely dice the yellow onion and the red bell pepper.
Add the onion and bell pepper to the skillet with the sweet potatoes and sauté for an additional 4 minutes until the vegetables are softened.
Push the vegetable mixture to the outer edges of the skillet and place the ground beef in the center.
Cook the beef for 5-6 minutes, breaking it apart with a wooden spoon, until it is fully browned and no longer pink.
Sprinkle the smoked paprika, garlic powder, sea salt, and black pepper over the entire skillet.
Stir all ingredients together thoroughly and cook for 2 more minutes to allow the smoky flavors to fully infuse the hash.
