Ingredients
  

2 medium sweet potatoes, peeled and cut into small cubes

8 oz (225 g) maple sausage links, sliced (or your favorite breakfast sausage)

1 small yellow onion, diced

2 cloves garlic, finely minced

1 red bell pepper, diced

1 teaspoon smoked paprika

½ teaspoon ground cinnamon

Salt and black pepper, to taste

2 tablespoons olive oil

4 large eggs

Fresh parsley, finely chopped (for garnish)

Instructions
 

Preheat the Skillet: Begin by heating 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Once heated, add the diced sweet potatoes. Sauté for about 10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the sweet potatoes soften and develop a slight golden-brown color.

    Cook the Sausage: Next, push the sweet potatoes to one side of the skillet, creating space for the sausage. Place the sliced maple sausage links in the empty side of the skillet. Cook for 3-4 minutes, allowing the sausage to brown nicely.

      Incorporate the Vegetables: Add the diced yellow onion and red bell pepper to the skillet. Stir everything together and cook for an additional 5 minutes, or until the onion is translucent and tender.

        Add Seasoning: Stir in the minced garlic, smoked paprika, ground cinnamon, and season with salt and pepper. Mix the ingredients thoroughly and cook for another 2-3 minutes, allowing the garlic to become fragrant.

          Prepare for the Eggs: Using a spatula, create 4 small wells in the mixture. Gently crack an egg into each well. Cover the skillet with a lid and reduce the heat to low. Let the eggs cook for 5-7 minutes, or until they reach your preferred level of doneness.

            Garnish and Enjoy: Once the eggs are cooked, remove the skillet from the heat. Generously sprinkle freshly chopped parsley over the top for a pop of color and flavor. Serve immediately, embracing the delightful fusion of sweet and savory flavors!
