Ingredients

• 2 Sweet potatoes
• 8 oz Tasso ham
• 1 Yellow onion
• 1 Bell pepper
• 4 Eggs
• 2 tbsp Vegetable oil
• 2 tsp Cajun seasoning
• 3 Scallions
• 1 tsp Hot sauce

Steps

1. Dice the sweet potatoes 1/2 inch and par-cook in boiling salted water 5 minutes; drain well. Wet potatoes steam instead of crisping.
2. Crisp the diced tasso in hot oil 5 minutes, then add the onion and bell pepper; cook 5 minutes.
3. Add the sweet potatoes in a single layer and cook undisturbed 4 minutes, then toss and repeat until browned and crisp at the edges, about 12 minutes total.
4. Season with Cajun seasoning, make 4 wells, and crack an egg into each. Cover and cook 4 minutes until the whites set but yolks stay runny.
5. Finish with scallions and hot sauce. Serve straight from the skillet.
