I try to incorporate nutritious sweet potatoes in my meals as often as possible, especially with breakfast. I created this recipe with the purpose of feeding my family a healthy, hearty breakfast—and it worked! —Jeanne Larson, Mission Viejo, California

Ingredients

2 tablespoons butter
2 medium sweet potatoes, peeled and shredded (about 4 cups)
1 garlic clove, minced
1/2 teaspoon salt, divided
1/8 teaspoon dried thyme
2 cups fresh baby spinach
4 large eggs
1/8 teaspoon coarsely ground pepper

Directions

In a large cast-iron or other heavy skillet, heat the butter over low heat. Add sweet potatoes, garlic, 1/4 teaspoon salt and thyme; cook, covered, until potatoes are almost tender, 4-5 minutes, stirring occasionally. Stir in spinach just until wilted, 2-3 minutes.

With the back of a spoon, make 4 wells in potato mixture. Break an egg into each well. Sprinkle eggs with pepper and remaining 1/4 teaspoon salt. Cook, covered, over medium-low heat until egg whites are completely set and yolks begin to thicken but are not hard, 5-7 minutes.

Test Kitchen tips

If you like your eggs sunny-side up, leave the pan uncovered while they cook.

Break the eggs into a small dish before adding to the pan. It’s easier to remove stray shell pieces if they get into the egg.

Health tip: With the sweet potatoes and spinach, this dish meets the daily requirement for vitamin A.
