Steps:
- Preheat oven to 450°. Line a large baking sheet with foil or parchment paper.
- Melt butter in a cast-iron or other heavy skillet over medium-high heat. When it foams, add onions and sprinkle lightly with salt and pepper. (Don't worry if they are crammed into the pan; they will rapidly cook down.) Lower heat slightly and cook, stirring occasionally (reduce heat further if they seem to be burning), until dark brown, about 20-30 minutes.
- Meanwhile, toss sweet potatoes, oil, 1 1/2 tsp salt, smoked paprika, a generous helping of black pepper, and minced rosemary or oregano in a large bowl. Stir in onions.
- Spread sweet potato mixture on prepared baking sheet and roast for 25-40 minutes, stirring every 10-15 minutes, until sweet potatoes are soft and browned.
- Reduce oven temperature to 425°. Spread a relatively thin layer of the cooked sweet potato hash in individual ramekins, a cast-iron skillet, or a 9" x 13" baking dish.
- Make small wells in the hash and crack in the eggs. Sprinkle lightly with salt and pepper. Bake for 10-20 minutes, or until hash is hot and eggs are baked to your preference. Test the eggs by prodding them with a fork to check the firmness of the white and the runniness of the yolk.
- Serve immediately, with Parmesan, if desired.
Tips:
- Choose the right sweet potatoes: Look for firm, smooth potatoes with no blemishes or bruises. Avoid any potatoes that are soft or have cracks in the skin.
- Prick the sweet potatoes with a fork: This will help the potatoes cook evenly and prevent them from bursting in the oven.
- Bake the sweet potatoes until they are tender: The potatoes should be easily pierced with a fork when they are done.
- Caramelize the onions slowly: This will develop their flavor and give them a rich, golden color.
- Use a good quality Parmesan cheese: This will make a big difference in the flavor of the dish.
- Serve the sweet potatoes immediately: They are best enjoyed hot out of the oven.
Conclusion:
This recipe for Baked Sweet Potatoes with Caramelized Onions and Shaved Parmesan is an easy and delicious side dish that is perfect for any occasion. The sweet potatoes are tender and flavorful, the onions are caramelized and sweet, and the Parmesan cheese adds a salty, nutty flavor. This dish is sure to be a hit with everyone at your table.
