Ingredients:

1 sweet potato
130g
1 tsp salt
6g
1 tsp black pepper
2.10g
1 tsp garlic
2.80g
1 tbsp cloves powder
7g
1/2 tsp dried basil
1.05g
1/2 tsp dried thyme
1.35g
1/2 tsp dried oregano
1.50g
1/8 tsp paprika
1/4g
1.50 tbsp butter
22g
2 eggs
100g
2 cups spinach
60g
1 cup vinegar
260g
1/2 tbsp olive oil
7g

Instructions:

1. Prepare the Sweet Potato:
- 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.
2. Season the Sweet Potato:
- 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.
3. Cook the Sweet Potato:
- 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.
4. Wilt the Spinach:
- 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.
5. Poach the Eggs:
- 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.
6. Assemble the Dish:
- 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.
7. Serve Immediately:
- 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.
