Instructions

  1. Heat a 10- to 12-inch nonstick skillet over medium heat, add butter and oil. When heated, add white and sweet potatoes and sauté, stirring every few minutes, until the potatoes start to brown, about 15 minutes. 
  2. Stir in onions, bell pepper, and mushrooms and cook uncovered until onions are translucent, about 5 minutes. Season with salt and pepper.
  3. With a spoon, make five wells in the potato mixture. Crack one egg into each well.  Cover and cook on low 10-12 minutes or until egg whites are set and yolks are cooked to your preference. 
  4. Sprinkle cheese evenly over the top of the potatoes around the eggs. Serve immediately.

 

 

Tips: 

  • To speed up the time it takes to cook the potatoes, cover the skillet and stir the potatoes often. Use foil if you don’t have a lid. Potatoes will be golden crispy on the outside and soft on the inside. 
  • If you use russet potatoes, you can parboil (boil to partially cook) the diced potatoes for approximately 5 minutes to start the cooking process and decrease the total time the potatoes need to be in the skillet. Drain the parboiled potatoes before placing them in the skillet with the oil/butter.
