Sweet Potatoes & Poached Eggs



Yummy and easy breakfast.

What you need:
1 sweet potato, diced
1 onion, diced
1 red potato, diced
olive oil
dried dill weed
kosher salt
pepper
herbs de provence
eggs

How to make it:
Dice the potatoes and onion and throw in a pan with one tablespoon of olive oil. Add 1 tablespoon of herbs de provence, 1 teaspoon of dill, as well as a pinch of salt and a few turns of freshly ground pepper and saute until the onions are clear and the potatoes are nicely crisped.

While you are cooking the potatoes, boil water in a shallow pan and add some vinegar. Once it has boiled, turn down the heat. Crack an egg into a small bowl and then stir the water and gently slide the egg into the water, repeat (you can cook two eggs at a time) and set the timer for 3 minutes. Once the time goes off, scoop out the eggs, sprinkle with salt and pepper, and add to the plate. Add a serving of the potatoes and enjoy. This feeds our family (Steen, Spence, and I) so alter recipe accordingly based on how many you will be serving.
