A quick and satisfying breakfast recipe featuring crispy sweet potatoes and runny fried eggs, perfect for paleo and Whole30 diets.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 medium sweet potatoes, peeled and diced into ½-inch cubes
  • 4 large eggs, preferably organic and pasture-raised
  • 2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
  • ½ teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon sea salt, or to taste
  • ¼ teaspoon freshly cracked black pepper
  • 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped (optional)
  • 1 small onion, finely diced
  • 1 small red bell pepper, diced

Instructions

  1. Peel and dice the sweet potatoes into ½-inch cubes. Dice the onion and red bell pepper finely.
  2. Heat a large non-stick skillet or cast iron pan over medium heat and add 1 tablespoon of olive oil. Warm until shimmering but not smoking.
  3. Add the diced sweet potatoes in a single layer. Cook undisturbed for about 4 minutes, then stir occasionally until all sides are browned, about 10-12 minutes total.
  4. Stir in the onion and bell pepper with the remaining 1 tablespoon of olive oil. Cook until onions are translucent and peppers are softened but still slightly crisp, about 3-4 minutes.
  5. Sprinkle smoked paprika, garlic powder, salt, and pepper evenly over the veggies. Toss well to coat and adjust seasoning to taste.
  6. Push the hash mixture to the sides of the pan, creating two small wells in the center.
  7. Crack the eggs into the wells. Cook on medium-low heat until whites are set but yolks remain runny, about 4-5 minutes. Cover loosely with a lid to speed cooking if desired.
  8. Sprinkle chopped fresh parsley on top before serving.

Notes

For best crispiness, do not overcrowd the pan and let sweet potatoes cook undisturbed for a few minutes at a time. Use a hot pan and extra virgin olive oil. Cover the pan loosely when frying eggs to keep yolks runny. Variations include swapping sweet potatoes for cauliflower for keto, adding jalapeños for spice, or tossing in greens like kale or spinach.
