Fried Egg with Sweet Potato Hash

image1-1

Need a quick breakfast or brunch idea? I threw this together a few weekends ago and it was delicious! We had a green pepper and 2 sweet potatoes that were close to going bad in the fridge, so I decided to whip them into something fun for a quick breakfast for Bernie and me.  We chowed down on this dish with a side of fruit.  Yum!

I’m a huge fan of sweet potatoes! They can be baked, sautéed, mashed or spiralized and they can satisfy a sweet or salty craving. Chop them up and throw them in the oven with some olive oil and add your favorite savory seasonings for your own take on sweet potato fries or add cinnamon and nutmeg instead for a sweet side dish. They are a great way to get some vitamin A in your diet and if you leave the skin on, you add some extra fiber to your meal.

Red onions and peppers are my go to for so many of my meals, they are relatively inexpensive and easy to chop up and flavor. I add them to eggs, tacos and pasta dishes to increase my veggie intake for the day.

Finally, I love sautéing my dishes in Extra Virgin Olive Oil for some healthy fats and extra flavor.

Fried Egg with Sweet Potato Hash

Servings: 2

Ingredients

  • 2 medium sweet potatoes, diced
  • Olive oil spray
  • Your favorite seasonings
  • 1 tbsp olive oil
  • ½ cup red onion, chopped
  • ½ cup green peppers, chopped
  • 2 large eggs

Directions

  • Preheat oven to 375⁰
  • Dice sweet potato into 1-inch pieces.
  • Spray a baking pan with olive oil, add diced sweet potatoes to the pan, spray sweet potatoes with olive oil and add seasonings of your choice.
  • Place pan in oven and cook for 20 minutes, removing from oven and switching them up a bit at the 10 minute mark. I like my potatoes extra crispy so I usually leave them in a little longer.
  • While potatoes are cooking, chop red onion and green pepper. When potatoes are about 10 minutes from being done, heat a pan on medium heat and add 1 teaspoon of olive oil. Add onions and sauté for 2-3 minutes. Next add green peppers, sauté for another 5 minutes. Add additional seasonings of your choice.
  • Once the potatoes are done, add to pan with onions and peppers and mix together. Split mixture up between two plates.
  • Add both eggs into the pan. Cook for about 3-4 minutes or until yolk is the consistency you want it (I love runny yolk, so I cook the egg for the minimum amount of time).
  • Top sweet potato hash with 1 egg.
  • Enjoy!
