Poached Eggs over Sweet Potato Fries

In Spain, we were served a dish of fried matchstick potatoes, with fried eggs on top and a generous drizzle of paprika-infused olive oil. I have to admit, it was delicious–even if it did have a million calories!

This is our healthier take on that scrumptious dish. To save time, we use frozen sweet potato fries, but feel free to make your own, or try our recipe for Butternut Squash Slices. We give instructions for poaching eggs in a saucepan, but using an egg poacher (if you have one) will further simplify this already easy dish. Feel free to add two more eggs, if you want two for each serving.

Instructions

1. Prepare fries according to package instructions.
2. Set eggs out at room temperature. Fill a large saucepan about half full of water and add vinegar.
3. When fries have about 10 minutes left to cook, bring water almost to a boil, then lower heat to keep at a gentle simmer. Form a whirlpool and drop one egg at a time into the center. Poach 3 to 4 minutes. (See recipe for Poached Eggs for more details.)
4. Divide cooked fries between two shallow bowls or small plates. Place one poached egg on top of each.
5. Drizzle olive oil over the egg and sprinkle paprika on top.
6. To eat, cut across the egg several times and toss to coat fries with egg yolk.
