Continuing the purple sweet potatoes theme, I've added a breakfast dish to the collection.

We tend to eat eggs for breakfast regularly. It can be a challenge to mix it up and keep it interesting. Some people in our family are happy to eat scrambled eggs day after day, but I like to experiment and try new things.

Plus, I am obsessed with these purple beauties and so are my daughters.

Hashbrowns are one of the more popular dishes people make with potatoes, so it only seemed fitting to try. Using a box grater to shred your purple sweet potatoes may leave a slight purple stain on your hand, but it washes off fairly easily. Not like the stain from beets! It may also turn the edges of your egg whites blue.

This recipe is easy to make and is an excellent way to boost antioxidants and protein in the morning. Use a pan with a tight-fitting lid to trap the steam which will cook the eggs.

Purple sweet potatoes are a longevity food and full of antioxidants.

Despite its sweet, satisfying taste, the imo [sweet potato] does not spike blood sugar as much as a regular white potato. The leaves are eaten as greens in miso soup. Like other sweet potatoes, it contains antioxidants called sporamin, which possess a variety of potent anti-aging properties.

Keep some of these beautiful tubers on hand so you can add this dish to your breakfast rotation.
