Ingredients
Ingredients
- 1 lb Sweet Potatoes – peeled and diced
- 1 lb Breakfast Sausage
- Salt & Pepper to taste
- 4 Eggs
Instructions
- Partially Cook Sweet Potatoes: Place the peeled and diced sweet potatoes in the microwave and cook for 3-5 minutes until they are just tender but not fully cooked.
- Brown the Sausage: Heat a large skillet over medium heat and add the breakfast sausage. Cook until browned and cooked through, about 6-8 minutes, then drain off any excess fat from the pan.
- Sauté Sweet Potatoes with Sausage: Add the partially cooked sweet potatoes to the skillet with the browned sausage. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Sauté together for a few minutes, allowing the flavors to combine and the potatoes to finish cooking.
- Create Spaces for Eggs: Using a spoon, make small wells or spaces in the sausage and sweet potato mixture to hold the eggs.
- Cook the Eggs: Crack one egg into each space. Cover the skillet with a lid and cook until the eggs are done to your liking, about 5 minutes for slightly runny yolks or longer for firmer eggs.
Notes
- Partially cooking the sweet potatoes in the microwave helps speed up the cooking process in the skillet.
- Use high-quality breakfast sausage for the best flavor.
- Cooking time for eggs can be adjusted for desired doneness.
- You can add herbs such as thyme or rosemary for extra flavor.
- This recipe pairs well with toast or a fresh side salad.
