Ingredients
- 3 cups sweet potatoes (diced)
- 1 large pink lady apple (or 2 smaller ones, diced)
- 8 slices nitrate free bacon (no sugar added for Whole30, chopped)
- 4 large eggs (1 egg per person)
- 1/4-1/2 tsp sea salt (or to taste)
- 1/2 tsp Primal Palate Breakfast Blend (optional)
Method
- Heat a medium-large heavy skillet (I use cast iron) over med-hi heat and add the chopped bacon*** stir to brown evenly.
- Once the bacon is about 3/4 of the way done (2-3 minutes), remove with slotted spoon to drain on paper towel and drain all but 2 Tbsp of the rendered bacon fat. Lower the heat to medium.3 min timer
- Add the sweet potatoes to the skillet and stir to coat with fat. Sprinkle on half the sea salt and breakfast seasoning, then cover the skillet and allow to cook for 2-4 minutes to soften. Uncover, stir, then add the apples and remaining breakfast seasoning, then re-cover.4 min timer
- Cook covered for another minute, uncover and add the bacon back to skillet. Stir and cook until the whole hash is browned (another 2 minutes or so), adjusting the heat if necessary to avoid burning, and adding more fat if needed. Once potatoes and apples are soft and toasty, remove from heat and create grooves in the hash for the egg or eggs.2 min timer
- Carefully crack each egg into a groove, sprinkle with a bit more salt, then recover the skillet and cook over very low heat (to avoid burning the bottom) for 2-5 minutes or until eggs are cooked to preference.5 min timer
- Remove from oven and serve with fresh herbs if desired or over greens. Enjoy!
