These open faced sweet potato fritter breakfast sandwiches are the perfect way to start your day. With a soft boiled egg on top of a crispy fritter bottom, you won’t be missing the pancakes.
I’ve read all the tips and tricks ever documented about the best way to peel a hardboiled egg and you want to know something?
They’re all complete BS.
Freshness of the eggs, vinegar or baking soda in the water, peeling it with a glass of water, ice baths, poking holes in the bottom of the egg, start the eggs in boiling water…I’ve literally tried them all. Sometimes they work, just as many times they don’t.
Even worse than peeling a hardboiled egg though is trying to peel a softboiled egg. And of course who wouldn’t rather eat a softboiled egg than a hardboiled one? I mean, duh, runny yolk for the win always.

The thing about soft-boiled eggs is if that shell isn’t coming off easily it’s like a million times easier to rip the white and then pierce into the yolk and all that runny deliciousness on the inside is ruined.
If you look closely at the whites on these eggs you’ll see it was one of those times where the whole peeling part didn’t exactly go too well considering the exterior looks like craters on a hormonal 14 year old boy’s face.
Luckily the yolk stayed put for it’s glamour shot on top of these sweet potato fritters with some pan fried Canadian bacon this time though.
If you’re looking for a new savory breakfast idea, this is it.
The bottom is a crispy sweet potato cornmeal fritter that gets topped with a slice (or two! if you’re hungry) of Canadian bacon and finished with a perfect soft-boiled egg. It’s the new best breakfast sandwich out there.
Sweet Potato Fritter Breakfast Sandwiches

Instructions

Flip and cook for 4 minutes. Remove to paper towel lined cooling rack and set aside. Cook in batches until all sweet potato mixture is gone, adding oil to pan as needed.

That yolk!! Love the crispy edges of the fritter. This would be my kind of breakfast!
I eat a LOT of sweet oatmeal for breakfasts, and lately it’s been getting sort of boring. I am loving the idea of something savory and sweet potatoes are my favorite. Plus that drippy yolk is EVERYTHING! Pinned!
