Sweet Potato Hash with a Poached Egg

This Sweet Potato Hash with a Poached Egg breakfast recipe was my FIRST time attempting to cook a poached egg. Happy to report that I did not mess it up! Was sadly extremely proud of myself. It’s the little things right?? This recipe is super hearty and a great alternative to the usual breakfast meals out there. Six ingredients are all it takes to make this meal happen! I’m all about simplicity with meals. It may look complicated and kinda fancy but in reality, it was easy peasy!

To Start

You’ll need to rinse and chop up your sweet potatoes into small cube sizes. Next dice up some onion and set aside your bag of kale. Drizzle some olive oil on your skillet ( I use a lodge cast iron skillet, you’ll see it listed on the bottom of this post from Amazon!). This skillet is AWESOME for cooking up veggies, my sweet potatoes and I love it for when I cook salmon. It offers more of a crispy flavor to a ton of my meals, which I LOVE.

Next, put your chopped sweet potatoes and onions into the skillet (with olive oil) and place on medium heat.

Poached Egg

As those are cooking, it’s time to POACH that EGG! Start by boiling water, once it comes to a boil, pour a tsp of vinegar in and stir the pot into a whirl pool (if you didn’t do this in a pool as a kid you totally missed out). Crack your egg into a bowl, scoop up your cracked egg with a wide cooking spoon. Slowly submerge it into the boiling water with a spoon and slowly release it in the water. Let cook for 3-4 minutes.

While your egg is cooking, toss the kale into the skillet with goat cheese crumbles, cracked pepper and parsley. Let the sweet potatoes get a little crispy on the edges.

Once everything is done, pour your sweet potato hash on a plate. Top with your FANCY AF poached egg!

The trickiest part is making the poached egg but once you get that down, it’s easy! Let me know how it comes out if you make it!
