Breakfast Sweet Potatoes Part Deux

Happy New Year! I hope everyone had a lovely evening last night. I am so ready for the new year, it's going to be amazing. I created a list of 12 resolutions I hope I can stick with. 

Yesterday I made breakfast for lunch. I wanted to try another version of my breakfast sweet potatoes. This variation was tastier than the first. Not having any sweet potatoes, I used a yam instead. I steamed the diced yams till semi-tender and then saut éed them in a pan with onions, grated zucchini, and red chili flakes. The flavors went well with a poached egg and steamed chard.

Breakfast Sweet Potatoes

Instead of the standard russet potatoes for breakfast why not try sweet potatoes instead? They are a good source of Vitamin A and C as well as B6, potassium, and fiber. After my boss, Amber, was talking about breakfast potatoes at work, I was craving them when I got home. I cut half of a sweet potato into chunks and steamed them for a few minutes until semi-tender. In a pan I heated grapeseed oil and sauteed some chopped onions. I added the sweet potatoes and after about five minutes of cooking, I added green bell pepper and fresh cayenne peppers. I've never seen the fresh peppers before so I was so excited to find them at the farmers market. I use dried cayenne powder regularly in soups, stir ftys, and in tea as a warming tonic.  To go along with my breakfast potatoes I steamed kale and topped it with a poached egg.
