Ingredients
  • 2 (6- to 8-ounce) sweet potatoes, baked until just fork tender (keep firm)
  • 1 tablespoon dark brown sugar
  • 1 (5- to 7-ounce) white potato, baked until just fork tender (keep firm)
  • 6 eggs
  • 1/2 cup evaporated milk or heavy cream
  • 1/3 cup chicken fat or vegetable oil
  • 3/4 cup diced tasso (preferred) or other smoked ham (such as Cure 81)
  • 1/2 cup julienne onions
  • 1/2 cup julienne green bell peppers
  • 1 tablespoon Chef Paul Prudhomme's Meat MagicĀ®
  • 1/2 cup julienne yellow squash
  • 1/2 cup julienne zucchini

Directions
  1. Peel the baked sweet potatoes, dice into 1/2-inch cubes, and place in a small bowl with the brown sugar.
  2. Stir to combine well.
  3. Peel the baked white potato, dice into 1/2-inch cubes, and set aside.
  4. Whisk the eggs in a medium-size bowl until frothy, then blend in the milk or cream.
  5. Preheat the broiler.
  6. In a 10-inch ovenproof skillet with 2-inch sides, heat the fat or oil over high heat until hot, 1 to 2 minutes.
  7. Add the tasso and white potatoes and cook, stirring occasionally, for 1 minute.
  8. Add the onions, bell peppers, and Meat Magic, and cook, stirring occasionally and scraping the pan bottom well, for 3 minutes.
  9. Stir in the squash and zucchini and continue cooking, stirring occasionally and scraping the pan bottom well, for 3 minutes.
  10. Stir in the sweet potatoes and cook and stir for 2 minutes more.
  11. Whisk the egg mixture briefly again and add it to the skillet.
  12. Cook for 30 seconds while pushing the mixture toward the center of the pan with a spatula.
  13. Distribute all ingredients evenly in the pan, remove from the heat, and place under the broiler, 4 to 5 inches from the heat source.
  14. Cook until the eggs are almost set and beginning to brown around the edges, about 2 minutes. The time will vary depending upon how close the omelet is to the heat source.
  15. Remove from the broiler and let the pan sit for a minute or two, so that the eggs will finish cooking by residual heat, and serve immediately.
