Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 Tbsp coconut oil (28g)
  • 1 cup cubes sweet potato, washed and diced into ½” pieces (133g)
  • 2 eggs (100g)
  • salt & pepper to taste

Optional Additions

  • Diced onions
  • Bell peppers
  • Sliced mushrooms
  • Minced garlic
  • Zucchini
  • Green onions
  • Kale
  • Spinach
  • Chopped bacon
  • Crumbled sausage
  • Chopped ham
  • White or golden potatoes
  • Shredded cheddar cheese or blue cheese

Instructions

  1. Melt coconut oil in a cast-iron skillet or other heavy-bottomed pan over medium heat.
  2. When the oil is melted, add diced sweet potato. Allow to cook in a single layer for about 7-10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until almost medium brown.
  3. When the sweet potatoes are almost medium brown (about halfway to as crispy as you’d like them), crack the eggs over the top. Reduce heat to medium-low and cover with a lid.
  4. Allow eggs to cook undisturbed until the white is cooked through, anywhere from 2-5 minutes depending on your stove and how hot your pan is.
  5. Serve with salt and freshly ground pepper.
