Equipment

  • 1 large ovenproof skillet with lid or cast iron skillet
  • 1 sharp knife cut cut vegetables
  • 1 vegetable peeler
  • measuring cups
  • measuring spoons
  • 1 spatula

Ingredients
  

  • 1 medium sweet potatoes peeled and cubed
  • 3 medium Russet potatoes peeled and cubed
  • 4-5 tbsp. coconut oil or avocado oil
  • 2/3 cup water approximately
  • 1 cup bell peppers diced, (assorted colors) I used orange, green and red
  • 1 leek green top removed
  • 3 green onions sliced
  • 1 tbsp. minced garlic from a jar or 2-3 cloves fresh garlic, minced
  • 1 tbsp. fresh chives minced
  • 1 tbsp. fresh marjoram leaves
  • 1 tbsp. fresh thyme leaves
  • 1 tsp. fresh dill
  • 1 tsp. fresh rosemary minced
  • 2 large sage leaves minced
  • 2 tbsp. fresh parsley minced
  • 1/2 tsp. salt or more to taste
  • 1/4 tsp. ground black pepper or more to taste
  • 1 cup ham diced
  • 6 large eggs

Instructions
 

  • Melt coconut oil over low to medium heat in large skillet.
  • Add leek and green onions and sauté for a couple of minutes.
  • Add bell peppers.
  • Sauté a minute or two.
  • Add sweet potatoes, potatoes, and garlic.
  • Sauté about 5 minutes, adding water if necessary to prevent sticking.
  • Add thyme, dill, rosemary, parsley, chives, marjoram, sage, salt and pepper.
  • Add ham.
  • Cover skillet making sure there is a little bit of water in the bottom of the pan so veggies don’t stick.
  • Simmer over low heat until potatoes are cooked completely through, stirring occasionally.
  • This may take 20-30 minutes or so.
  • Preheat oven to 350°.
  • Crack eggs into skillet.
  • Season with additional salt, pepper and parsley.
  • Bake at 350° about 5-10 minutes or until eggs are set.
  • Season with more salt and pepper if desired.

Notes

NOTE: While you can cook the eggs on top of the stove, the only way to get the whites to cook is to cover with a lid. Unfortunately, that causes the egg yolks to overcook. I recommend putting the skillet in an oven instead.
