Ingredients
- 2 sweet potatoes
- 4 sausage links
- 4 large eggs
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Olive oil
Instructions
- Wash sweet potatoes thoroughly and peel the skin. Cut them into small, uniform cubes approximately 1/2 inch in size to ensure even cooking.
- Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add sweet potato cubes and season with salt and pepper. Spread them evenly across the pan to allow proper browning.
- Cook sweet potato cubes for about 8-10 minutes, stirring occasionally to prevent sticking and ensure all sides are golden brown and crispy.
- While sweet potatoes are cooking, slice sausage links into bite-sized rounds about 1/4 inch thick.
- Push sweet potato cubes to one side of the skillet and add sausage rounds to the other side. Cook for 4-5 minutes, turning occasionally to achieve a nice brown exterior.
- Mix sausage and sweet potatoes together in the skillet, creating an even distribution of ingredients.
- Create small wells in the mixture and crack eggs directly into these spaces. Season eggs with additional salt and pepper.
- Cook eggs to your preferred doneness - about 2-3 minutes for sunny-side up, or flip for over-easy if desired.
- Remove skillet from heat and let rest for 1-2 minutes. Plate the sweet potato sausage egg fry up immediately to serve hot.
Tips
- Potato Perfection: Cut sweet potatoes into uniform cubes to ensure even cooking and maximum crispiness. Aim for 1/2 inch pieces for the ideal texture.
- Oil and Heat Management: Use a high-quality olive oil and maintain medium-high heat to achieve golden-brown edges without burning.
- Sausage Selection: Choose high-quality sausage links that complement the sweet potatoes—consider spicy Italian or breakfast-style sausages for added flavor.
- Egg Customization: Adjust egg cooking time based on your preference—sunny-side up for runny yolks or over-easy for a firmer texture.
- Season Generously: Don't be shy with salt and pepper. Proper seasoning is key to bringing out the rich flavors of each ingredient.
- One-Skillet Wonder: Using a single skillet not only simplifies cooking but also allows ingredients to absorb each other's delicious flavors.
