Sweet Potato And Spinach Hash With Eggs

Great lunch! I veered from the recipe in that I used grated sweet potatoes to help them cook faster..and used leftover bacon drippings to saute the veggies, but then added finely chopped brown sugar ham.

I did not do very well at getting the "nest" from the skillet to the serving plate - so had some re-constructing work to do before I could take the photo!

Thanks! It just delayed my eating time and I gobbled it down even faster because I was more hungry :)

So glad you tried this one! It was delicious! I had a little trouble too getting the nest on the plate but actually did quite better that I thought I was lol! Nice picture!

I love sweet potatoes. And the seasonings in the recipe complimented the sweetness so well! I believe in the thread you started you mentioned that you had never cooked an egg like that before. Neither had I. It worked great, and it's a plus to avoid having to wash another skillet! :) Remember the Hash It Out Hash Brown recipe with the fried egg? Why not use this technique for it? Save a little fat and calories that way. :) (Or maybe you don't care about fat and calories...) :O

Yes this was an interesting yet smart way to cook the egg! I was a little skeptical that it wouldn't work lol! I honestly thought of the cooking it in another pan and throwing it on top just so I wouldn't ruin the meal! But glad I stuck with it ;) And yes I definitely care about fat and calories but I go on kicks (like lately) where I have been not doing so good, and don't really care ;) It's all in good food!

Me, too (about the kicks where you don't care) - but with winter coming on here with less activity, I need to be more vigilant. I don't have a weight problem, but I don't want one, either!

GK, that is a great looking pic. Makes me wish I liked sweet potatoes. I just never developed a taste for them. Wonder if it would be good with reds

gkwillow 12 years ago said:

Mr. P, I'm sure it would! Thanks for commenting on my pic - I was kind of expecting you to make a comment on my having to do re-construction work!

Thats too funny. I was going to. But I felt that I might pick on you too much : ) Not that you are easy to pick on, but just so fun :) Now, had I made that dish, my pick would have involved a tortilla FOR SURE

gkwillow 12 years ago said:

Awww...I kind of like it when you pick on me. Just gives me ammo to fire back at you! ;)

mrpiggy 12 years ago said:

OK, you asked for it. I'll take the "gloves" off.............. so to speak : )

gkwillow 12 years ago said:

But even with THE gloves on you're vulnerable..have you forgotten about the hole? :) Remember what happened to Achilles...

Flag
mrpiggy 12 years ago said:

OK, now you'll probably laugh. My solution to the hole was swap hands. I wear the right glove on the left hand putting the hole on top. Not the best, but I just cant bring myself to get a real pot holder. Defiance?

I don't like sweet potatoes either but those pictures are fabulous!

gkwillow 12 years ago said:

All I can say to that one is that the holey glove will be an added enhancement to the photo you promised. You haven't conveniently forgotten, have you?

mrpiggy 12 years ago said:

Not at all. I stopped by a store on my way home today that has a large selection of specialty spices. Still no luck. My last chance before internet purchase will be Walmart. I have hit all the grocery stores in 2 towns. Here in Smallsville things can be hard to get :(

mommyluvs2cook 12 years ago said:

Okay you two can go on for hours.. ;)! SOOO I must have missed it...what's the spice your looking for and whats with the holey glove lol! Sounds like we need to all come together and invest in getting mr.piggy a couple of pot holders!

And how can so many people not like sweet potatoes!?!?!?

gkwillow 12 years ago said:

Thanks, Frankieanne. I'm really kind of impressed with the method of cooking the egg. No doubt I'll use that with other recipes...

Mr. P - if you live in Smallsville, then I live in Tinytown. In fact, they've rolled up the sidewalks for the nite - no CA time here - so it's lights out for me too. Another work week looms...

gkwillow 12 years ago said:

Well, sure, our conversation DOES sound a tad strange, referring to things from past comments. But I can't believe that you didn't have it all figured out! :) The seasoning in question is Sazon Goya. The holey glove is Mr. P's welding glove that has a hole so now is used as a potholder. He made the comment once that he had learned not to fry bacon without wearing a shirt, so I graciously suggested that he wear his welding hood to offer some additional protection. Hence the photo offer. Now 100% clear as mud for you??? :D

Hey, I thought you were going to sleep. Or does " it lights out for me" mean something else in Tinytown? : )

ML2C, I cant really explain why I don't like sweet potatoes. The flavor of them does not taste bad. (like say.......LIVER........................ACK, ACK ) I think its more along the line it doesn't taste like a potato. Does that make sense? Its like someone removed the POTATO taste. They're not POTATO-EE...............Kinda like when one soaks fish in milk to remove the FISH taste so its not FISHY : )

gkwillow 12 years ago said:

Hey yourself! What about the recipe where venison is marinated to remove the GAMEY flavor. Isn't it game? Funny term. Sure isn't much of a game to Bambi. :(

Okay got it lol! I do remember Mr pig saying the frying bacon comment! I guess I can see where your coming from with the sweets, I grew up on them so I think of them as two totally different things and have never compared the two :)

I had spinach I had to use up and another monster sweet potato, and this was the perfect solution. Made this for a late breakfast. I misread the directions, however, and used 5 cups of spinach instead of 5 oz (I posted a pic on the recipe page that is just a little green.) I also had NO luck with the nesting egg thing. My first one fell apart, so I cooked the egg separately for the second one and placed it on top. Both tasted great. With the onions and spinach, I didnt taste much sweet at all. This was really ggod. Thanks for the heads up, GK and a great recipe Christinem

gkwillow 12 years ago said:

mr p you're more than welcome for the heads up. ;) I'm sure the final product tasted as good either way you cook the egg.

Hey - since you found out that you don't object to sweet potatoes, you're just going HOG wild! :P

mrpiggy 12 years ago said:

GK........, where have you been? I wouldnt say hog wild. Not yet anyway. : ) I have been looking for recipes for them that dont add any more sweetness. I want to try them like french fries next. Although Im not sure how that will be. Im going to make a dipping sauce for them other than ketchup just in case they're too sweet

gkwillow 12 years ago said:

You mean you missed my smack-worthy remarks? :P

So for now it's just PIGGY wild with the sweet potatoes? :P

Rooster + mayo. Can't go wrong with that. I had a great teacher :)
