Ingredients
2 large sweet potatoes, peeled and diced into 1/2-inch cubes
1 medium onion, finely chopped
1 bell pepper, diced
2 tablespoons olive oil
1 teaspoon smoked paprika
0.5 teaspoon garlic powder
4 large eggs
Salt and black pepper to taste
Instructions
Peel and dice the sweet potatoes into uniform 1/2-inch cubes.
Finely chop the onion and dice the bell pepper.
Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a large heavy-bottomed skillet over medium heat.
Add the potatoes, smoked paprika, garlic powder, salt, and pepper; stir to coat.
Cook for 10-12 minutes until potatoes are golden brown and tender, stirring occasionally.
Add the onion and bell pepper to the skillet and cook for another 5-7 minutes until soft.
Create 4 small wells in the vegetable mixture for the eggs.
Crack an egg into each well.
Cover the skillet and cook for 3-5 minutes, or until the whites are set but the yolks remain soft.
Remove from heat and serve immediately.
Notes
Ensure the sweet potato cubes are uniform in size to promote even cooking. If the potatoes are browning too quickly before becoming tender, lower the heat slightly and add a splash of water to steam them. Serve with fresh herbs like cilantro or parsley for a burst of color.
