Instructions
For the Guacamole
In small bowl, mash together avocado and lemon juice. Taste and add salt as needed, and set aside or refrigerate until ready to use.
For the Loaded Sweet Potato Fries
Warm small skillet over medium heat. Add bacon and cook until crisp, then transfer to plate and set aside. Transfer rendered bacon grease to small bowl.
In small bowl, combine garlic powder, onion powder, salt, paprika, cumin, cinnamon, and chili powder.
Melt coconut oil in large skillet over medium heat. Add raw sweet potato fries and cook, stirring regularly, until potatoes begin to soften. Add spices to potatoes and stir well to coat. Add more coconut oil or ghee if needed to prevent sticking. Cook until sweet potatoes are easily pierced with a fork, then transfer to serving platter or baking dish.
Return 1 tablespoon rendered bacon grease to small skillet and warm over medium heat. Once hot, crack 2 eggs into skillet and cook until whites are opaque and just beginning to set. Flip, if desired, or leave alone until whites are fully set. Sprinkle salt over eggs and transfer eggs to plate. Repeat with remaining 2 eggs.
Top sweet potato fries with fried eggs, guacamole, chopped bacon, sliced green onions, and a drizzle of ranch dressing. Serve immediately, with additional ranch dressing for dipping.
Recipe Notes
Eggs: Be careful not to overcook the eggs. You want the yolks to be soft enough that they can help create a sort of sauce.
