Equipment

  • Skillet or frying pan
  • Knife and cutting board
  • Spatula
  • Spoon for serving

Ingredients
  

  • 2 medium sweet potatoes peeled and diced
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1/2 small onion diced
  • 2 cups fresh spinach roughly chopped
  • 2 eggs
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • Optional: garlic powder paprika, red pepper flakes, or fresh herbs (such as parsley or thyme)

Instructions
 

  • Cook the Sweet Potatoes:
  • Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the diced sweet potatoes and season with salt, pepper, and any optional spices you like. Cook, stirring occasionally, for 10-12 minutes until the sweet potatoes are tender and crispy on the edges.
  • Add the Onion and Spinach:
  • Add the diced onion to the skillet and cook for another 3-4 minutes, until softened. Then add the spinach and cook for 1-2 minutes until wilted. Stir everything to combine, and season with more salt and pepper if needed.
  • Fry the Eggs:
  • While the hash is cooking, heat a small amount of oil in another skillet over medium-low heat. Crack the eggs into the skillet and cook until the whites are set but the yolks remain runny (about 3-4 minutes). For a more cooked egg, cover the skillet with a lid and cook for a few extra minutes.
  • Assemble the Dish:
  • Spoon the sweet potato and spinach hash onto plates. Gently place a sunny side up egg on top of each serving.
  • Serve:
  • Season with additional salt, pepper, or red pepper flakes for extra heat, and enjoy!
