Most breakfast casseroles I see call for hash browns, and I thought it would be fun to make one using sweet potato hash browns. I love sweet potatoes and have been cutting one up to saute for breakfast and adding an egg on top for a few weeks. So this is a make ahead version of that sweet potato hash, perfect for Easter brunch.
To make it I simply mixed shredded sweet potatoes with some oil, green onions, salt and pepper.
I baked the sweet potatoes until crispy, and then cracked an egg on top, sprinkled some cheese and put them back in the oven for 5 minutes.
You could change this up by adding in some sausage or bacon, or varying the kind of cheese you use. All in all this is a simple casserole that is very satisfying.

I love sweet potatoes, but I have always had them the traditional way with marshmallows. I love them baked them sprinkled with brown sugar. This is a new idea for me and I will be trying it out. Thanks.
Yum. I’m always looking for new breakfast ideas.
Now, that is a combination I had never thought of. Eggs and sweet potatoes? I bet my husband would love this – I am going to pin it so I can give it a try later.
