Ingredients
Method
- Heat oven to 400°F (200°C). Cut the raw potato or sweet potato into small cubes or wedges. Spread on parchment; use part of the listed oil if included, reserving the rest for the pan or dressing. Roast 25–35 minutes, turning once, until fork-tender. No additional oil is included in the nutrition.
- Whisk the eggs or egg whites and cook in a nonstick skillet until fully set. Use only any oil included in the card; add a splash of water if needed to prevent sticking.
- Assemble with the remaining listed ingredients. Use any measured citrus, mustard, mayonnaise, herbs or salsa as the sauce; divide all ingredients equally among the stated servings. Serve fruit or toast alongside when included.
