Ingredients:
4 large sweet potatoes
8 large eggs, cage free and farm fresh for preference
1 medium onion, white, yellow, or red
4 large cloves of garlic
6 oz cooked bacon, prosciutto, pancetta, or ham
1. Preheat the oven to 400 degrees
2. Cook the sweet potatoes. Wash and dry them and then prick them all over with a fork to let the heat out as they cook. Then either bake them for 55 minutes at 400 degrees or cook them in the microwave for 20 minutes, turning them over 3 times during the process. (Use a hot pad to turn them) **Regardless of how you cook your potatoes initially, you will need your oven at 400 degrees later on so get it started pre-heating now, or leave it at 400 once the potatoes are done baking, as the case may be |
8. Add the sauteed onions and garlic to the mashed sweet potato, as well as 2/3 of the pancetta or chopped bacon. Then re-mix together. (Like the less well known R. Kelly hit single goes, 'It's the remix to pancetta, hot and fresh out the oven, mama blending those taters, got every athlete here hungry..R. Kelly was paleo before it was cool. btw I am totally joking and have no personal knowledge of R Kelly's nutritional habits or if he writes songs about cured meat products) |
Serve and enjoy! This recipe takes some time so while it is great for breakfast, if you have the time and energy on a weekday morning to get this prepared and ready to go, please kindly send me some of your energy. In the meantime, keep this in mind for a weekend breakfast (you can do a good deal of the prep work ahead of time), or a yummy dinner. This recipe keeps well although you'll want to reheat in a toaster oven or conventional oven as eggs do really weird things in microwaves, for reasons which have never been properly explained to me
