Cut your bacon in to small pieces. In a large skillet or fry pan cook bacon over medium heat until crispy. Once cooked, remove from skillet and set aside, leaving the bacon grease in the skillet.
6 slices Bacon
Add chopped onions to skillet and cook for 3 minutes over medium heat. They will start to soften.
½ Yellow Onion
Then add your cubed sweet potatoes, stirring to coat with the bacon grease. Then add water to the skillet, cover and cook over medium heat until they can be easily pierced with a fork. Typically, 20 minutes.
2 Sweet Potatoes, ¼ cup Water
Once cooked, add in diced jalapeno, garlic powder, paprika and sprinkle with salt and pepper.
1 Jalapeno, 1 tbs Garlic Powder, ½ teaspoon Paprika
Using a spatula, make four wells in the potatoes, scraping everything away to reveal the bottom of the skillet.
Crack and egg into each well and season with salt and pepper. Sprinkle cheese and cooked bacon over the skillet then cover with the lid.
1 teaspoon Salt , 4 Eggs, ½ cup Cheese, 1 teaspoon Pepper
Continue cooking over medium heat until eggs whites are cooked through and the yolk is as runny or firm as you like it. I recommend checking at 3 minutes then every minute after until eggs are done to your likeness. Garnish with green onions.
2 Green Onions

Helpful Tips

Dice sweet potatoes evenly so they cook at the same rate.
Don’t overcrowd the pan—this helps everything crisp instead of steaming.
Cover briefly while cooking to soften the potatoes, then uncover to crisp.
Crack eggs into small wells for even cooking and a prettier presentation.
Finish with a sprinkle of fresh herbs or a drizzle of hot sauce for extra flavor.
