White and Sweet Potato Scramble with Fresh Herbs

Teresa Ambra

White and Sweet Potato Scramble with Fresh Herbs is simply amazing. The combination of flavors and herbs is so succulent that it is hard to stop eating mouthful after mouthful! This potato dish a not only a great option as a side dish but I really enjoy it for breakfast, too. If you enjoy cooking with fresh herbs, this dish employs lots of them. While you can use dried if that’s all you have, I highly encourage using fresh herbs if you can find them.

I was really craving some kind of potato and sweet potato combo today and threw together this concoction which turned out fabulously. This healthy, low-calorie, vegan dish is bursting with flavor. I used lots of fresh herbs: parsley, sage, chives, marjoram, thyme, rosemary, and dill, along with salt and pepper to season the dish. Plus there’s an assortment of veggies that also enhance the  potatoes. I cooked this in a little bit of coconut oil, but olive oil would probably work just as well.

This tasty side dish turned out so wonderfully it is really worth giving a try if you are looking for healthy alternatives for potato or sweet potato side dishes. This would work splendidly paired with chicken, pork, or even fish, in my opinion. I loved this amazing dish and I hope you’ll like it too.

When I initially posted this recipe back in September 2012, the pictures were done with an iPhone which didn’t have a very good resolution. That was the problem with most of my first year blog pictures until I upgraded to a Canon in 2013.

I’ve been remaking all these old first-year blog recipes to get better pictures and recently came across this one (December 2015). I upgraded the recipe a little, changed out and added different herbs, and even made it as a base for a hash which was spectacular. It’s a great recipe. I hope you give it a try.
