Ingredients:
Instructions:
- Peel the sweet potato and dice it into small cubes (about 1/2 inch).
- Rinse the sweet potato cubes under cold water and pat them dry with a clean towel.
- In a small bowl, combine the salt, black pepper, garlic powder, cloves powder, dried basil, dried thyme, dried oregano, and paprika.
- Toss the sweet potato cubes in the spice mixture until they are evenly coated.
- Heat a large skillet over medium heat and add 1 tablespoon of butter.
- Once the butter is melted and begins to sizzle, add the seasoned sweet potato cubes to the skillet.
- Cook the sweet potato, stirring occasionally, for about 10-12 minutes or until they are tender and lightly browned.
- Add the remaining 0.5 tablespoon of butter and 1/2 tablespoon of olive oil to the skillet with the sweet potatoes.
- Add the spinach to the skillet and cook for another 2-3 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the spinach is wilted and heated through.
- In a medium-sized saucepan, bring about 4 inches of water to a simmer over medium heat. Add the vinegar to the simmering water.
- Crack each egg into a small bowl or cup.
- Create a gentle whirlpool in the simmering water with a spoon, then gently slide each egg into the center of the whirlpool.
- Poach the eggs for about 3-4 minutes for slightly runny yolks or longer if you prefer firmer yolks.
- Carefully remove the poached eggs with a slotted spoon and drain on a paper towel.
- Divide the sweet potato and spinach mixture between two plates.
- Top each serving with a poached egg.
- Season with additional salt and pepper if desired.
- Serve the sweet potato hash with eggs hot and enjoy!
Tips:
- For a crispy texture, shred the sweet potato using a box grater or food processor.
- Ensure the sweet potato is cooked through by covering the skillet with a lid for a few minutes.
- For perfectly poached eggs, create a gentle whirlpool in the simmering vinegar water before adding the eggs.
- Feel free to add other vegetables like bell peppers or onions for extra flavor and nutrition.
- Garnish with fresh herbs or a sprinkle of cheese for added richness.
Enjoy your hearty and flavorful sweet potato hash with eggs and herbs. This dish not only offers a burst of flavors but also packs in essential nutrients to kickstart your day. Serve it hot and garnish with additional herbs if desired.
