How to Make Batatas Con Huevos Mexican Comfort Food

1. Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C).
2. Wash and scrub 2 large sweet potatoes. Pierce them several times with a fork.
3. Roast the sweet potatoes for 45-50 minutes, or until tender when pierced with a fork.
4. While the potatoes are roasting, prepare the toppings. Sauté 1/2 small onion, chopped, in 1 tablespoon olive oil until softened. Add 1/2 cup chopped bell pepper (any color) and cook for another 2-3 minutes.
5. Crack 4 large eggs into a bowl. Season with salt and pepper to taste.

8. Pour the eggs into the cavities on top of the vegetables.
9. Return the stuffed sweet potatoes to the oven for 5-7 minutes, or until the eggs are cooked to your liking.
