Take some time on a weekend morning to cook up this hearty breakfast to fuel your family for the rest of the day.
Ingredients
Scale
- 4 tablespoons unsalted butter, divided
- 2 medium sweet potatoes, peeled, cut into 1/2-inch cubes
- 1/4 salt
- 1 cup water
- 8 fresh sage leaves, divided plus extra for garnish
- 2 Vidalia or sweet onions, chopped
- 8 large eggs
Instructions
- Melt 2 tablespoons butter in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add sweet potatoes and toss until coated in the butter, then add water and sage leaves. Bring water to a simmer and cook potatoes, uncovered, until the water has almost evaporated and the potatoes are fork tender, about 10 minutes. If there is any excess water in the pan, remove it with a large spoon and reserve.
- Continue cooking potatoes, scraping pan frequently with a spoon, until crusty brown, about 10 more minutes. Add a tablespoon of the leftover cooking liquid or fresh water, if the potatoes stick or begin to scorch.
- Meanwhile, melt 1 tablespoon butter in a medium skillet over medium heat. Add chopped onion and cook, adding water as necessary when the pan gets dry, until deep golden brown, about 20 minutes. Transfer onions to the pan with the potatoes.
- Add remaining 1 tablespoon butter to the empty skillet and cook the eggs, 4 at a time, to your preference.
- Place potato and onion mixture in the center of 4 plates and top each plate with 2 fried eggs. Garnish plates with sage leaves.

This recipe needs a little more something something. It’s bland and tastes more like a dinner side dish.
