Ingredients
Scale
- 3 medium sweet potatoes (about 1.5 lbs / 680g), diced into ½-inch cubes
- 1 medium yellow onion, diced
- 4 cloves garlic, minced
- 4–6 large eggs
- 2 tablespoons avocado oil (or olive oil)
- 1 tablespoon butter
- 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
- ½ teaspoon garlic powder
- ½ teaspoon red pepper flakes (optional)
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley or chives, chopped
- Salt and black pepper to taste
- Optional: ½ cup cooked bacon or sausage, crumbled
- Optional: ¼ cup feta or goat cheese, crumbled
Instructions
- Dice sweet potatoes and onions into ½-inch cubes. Mince garlic and crack eggs into a small bowl seasoned with salt and pepper.
- Heat a 12-inch skillet over medium-high heat for 2 minutes. Add avocado oil; it should shimmer but not smoke.
- Add sweet potatoes and onions to the pan in a single layer. Sprinkle with half the salt, smoked paprika, and garlic powder. Cook for 8-10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until tender and golden brown.
- Add minced garlic and red pepper flakes. Stir constantly for 1 minute until fragrant but not browned.
- Use a spatula to create four small wells in the potato mixture.
- Crack an egg into each well. Lower heat to medium-low, cover the pan with a lid, and cook for 3-4 minutes until whites are set and yolks are runny.
- Remove pan from heat. Add butter and let it melt. Sprinkle with fresh parsley or chives and serve immediately.
Notes
Cut potatoes uniformly for even cooking. Do not crowd the pan to ensure crispiness rather than steaming. Lower heat when adding eggs to prevent burning. For extra crispiness, soak diced potatoes in cold water for 10 minutes before cooking and pat dry. This recipe is naturally gluten-free but check spice labels. It can be made dairy-free by skipping the butter.
