This sweet potato recipe is simple, yummy, and nourishing, be sure that it will warm up your soul.

  1. Prep the Vegetables:

    Wash all vegetables and cut them into desired sizes.

  2. Cook the Sweet Potaoes and Vegetables:

    Add olive oil to a hot, clean pan. Add the onions and sauté for about 2 minutes to soften. Add the green peppers, cook for 1 additional minute, and add the sweet potatoes. Stir very well to combine, and then add the salt, pepper, thyme, Knorr seasoning powder, or cube. Ensure everything is combined well. Deglaze the pan with half of the water, cover the pan, and cook until the potatoes are tender. Taste and adjust flavors.

  3. Add the Eggs:

    (Ensure your heat is low). Inside the pan, make three “holes” or indentations, and break the eggs into each hole one after another. Add one or two tablespoons of water around the edges of the pan to further deglaze so your dish is not burnt while eggs cook. Cover and cook for up 5 minutes or until the egg are ready.

Recipe Notes & Tips:

  • You can actually make this recipe with regular potatoes.
  • Make sure to cook on medium heat and on low heat when you add the eggs.
