Instructions

  1. Step 1: Dice sweet potatoes into 1/2-inch cubes. Toss with 1 tbsp olive oil, 1/4 tsp salt, and 1/8 tsp black pepper. Roast on a sheet pan at 400°F for 20 minutes until tender and slightly caramelized.

  3. Step 3: Add roasted potatoes to skillet with thyme. Gently crack eggs over the top, then cover and cook for 5 minutes until yolks are set but runny.
  4. Step 4: Season with remaining salt and pepper. Serve immediately with extra thyme sprinkled on top.

How do I store leftover Maple-Glazed Sweet Potato Hash with Scrambled Eggs?

For aromatics, dried herbs at ⅓ the volume of fresh work in a pinch. The full ingredient list is shoppable on Instacart so you can see substitutes in real time.

How do I scale Maple-Glazed Sweet Potato Hash with Scrambled Eggs for a different number of people?

The recipe is written for 2 servings. Multiply each ingredient by (your serving target / 2). Cook time stays roughly the same up to 2x; for 3-4x batches, switch from a skillet to a sheet pan or stockpot so the food isn't crowded — overcrowding steams instead of browns.
