So few ingredients, so simple a recipe!  Start by chopping up your peppers, potatoes, and the chard while the oil in your skillet heats.

Once the pan is hot, add the sweet potatoes and cook for five minutes, stirring occasionally.  Then add the pepper. Cook the peppers and potatoes together for an additional 3 minutes, stirring occasionally. 

Add the Swiss chard to the pan.  Continue to cook, still stirring occasionally, until chard starts to wilt, about another three minutes.  Spread the mixture out even in the pan to prepare for the eggs.

Crack the eggs over the vegetables one at a time. Cover and cook until yolks are desired thickness.  If you like runny yolks, that will be about 4 minutes, or 6 for firm yolks.  When eggs are done, serve directly from skillet.  (Notice what I did there – no serving dishes = less clean up!)
