Ingredients

• 2 cups sweet potatoes
• 1 cup yellow onion
• 2 tbsp maple syrup
• 1 tbsp olive oil
• 1 tsp fresh rosemary
• 1/2 tsp sea salt
• 1/4 tsp black pepper
• 2 eggs

Instructions

1. Step 1: Dice 2 cups sweet potatoes into 1/2-inch cubes and slice 1 cup yellow onion thinly. Heat 1 tbsp olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat, add potatoes and onions, and cook for 15 minutes, stirring occasionally, until potatoes are tender and onions are golden.
2. Step 2: Stir 2 tbsp maple syrup, 1/2 tsp sea salt, 1/4 tsp black pepper, and 1 tsp chopped rosemary into the potato mixture; continue cooking for 5 more minutes until syrup caramelizes and coats the vegetables.
3. Step 3: Push hash to one side of the skillet, crack 2 eggs into the empty space, and cook for 3-4 minutes until yolks are still runny.
4. Step 4: Gently fold eggs into the hash, cooking for 1 more minute until eggs are set but still moist.
