Two-Potato Hash with Soft-Boiled Eggs

by: 
Makes: 4
What You Need
  • 1 ¼ pound sweet potatoes
  • 1 ¼ pound red skinned potatoes
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon kosher salt
  • Fresh ground pepper
  • 4 eggs
  • 2 cups tender greens
  • Microgreens for garnish (optional)
What To Do
  1. Preheat the oven to 450°F.
  2. Wash the red skinned and sweet potatoes, removing any bad spots but leaving the peels on.
  3. Small dice the potatoes. In a bowl, mix with 2 tablespoons olive oil, 1 teaspoon kosher salt, and fresh ground pepper; mix thoroughly to combine. Pour the potatoes onto a parchment-lined baking sheet and roast for 30-35 minutes until slightly browned and cooked through, stirring once.
  4. To prepare the soft boiled eggs, fill a saucepan with enough water to cover six eggs and bring to a boil. Once boiling, carefully lower the eggs into the water. Reduce the heat and gently simmer for 6 minutes.
  5. Meanwhile, prepare a bowl with ice water. After 6 minutes, transfer the eggs to the bowl of water and allow to cool. Then gently peel the eggs.
  6. When the potatoes are done, mix them with 2 cups greens and allow the heat to slightly wilt the greens.
  7. To serve, place potatoes on a plate, then top with egg, a bit of kosher salt and pepper, and microgreens if desired.

Indy Winter Farmer Market Vendor: Growing Places Indy

Every week during the Indy Winter Farmers Market season, we'll be profiling one of our local vendors! You can find the full list of IWFM vendors and past profiles here.

Growing Places Indy  
We are the non-profit that brings you the IWFM! We also operate four micro-farms around downtown, which generate funding for our youth and adult educational programs. In 2012, we began growing microgreens year-round in the greenhouse at the Chase Near Eastside Legacy Center, just 1.5 miles from the City Market. We supply several local restaurants with microgreens, and we are delighted to expand to the market as well! 
  
Most popular item?
We're excited to see what you love the most! One of our staff favorites is micro radish greens, which are an intense purple and have a spicy kick. We don't use any chemicals or synthetic fertilizers.
  
Why should people shop at the IWFM?
Because it's the best grocery shopping experience in town! You know everything is fresh and delicious. You get to meet the people who grow/raise the food. A trip to the grocery store is just that. But a trip to the IWFM is an experience that benefits you and the community!
    
What do you buy at the IWFM?
You'll find Growing Places Indy staff, board members, volunteers, supporters and friends at the IWFM every week, and between us we buy just about everything at the market!
