What Gives This Recipe Its Flavour?
- Who says the Whole30 diet has to be monotonous? This is a recipe I’ve been preparing for years and it’s still one of my favorites, on and off the golf course. It’s Whole30-compliant, but it’s packed with taste, with creamy guac, crunchy bacon, and sweet yet savory sweet potato fries. YUM.
- Is this a dinner recipe or a brunch recipe? Yes. Yes, it is. Seriously, these loaded sweet potato fries are a simple and tasty way to stick to your Whole30 meal plan, so why limit yourself to just one meal?
- One of the best things about this dish is how easily it can be scaled up or down depending on the number of people in your company. For a quick lunch for just you, a smaller portion? It’s no problem. To feed a group, a larger spread is recommended. This also works for that!
Important Ingredients
Sweet Potatoes — If you want to make things a little easier on yourself, use frozen sweet potato fries in this recipe. If you’re on round, simply make sure they’re completely compliant by using only sweet potatoes with no other ingredients.
Spices – I’ve developed the spice blend used here to bring out all of the sweet and savory flavors in the dish. Feel free to tweak the spices to your liking, but I’m confident you’ll enjoy it!
Fried eggs are a simple and delicious way to add some protein to your diet. In addition, the soft yolks produce a fantastic sauce for dipping the sweet potato fries in.
Chef’s Advice
- If you don’t want to use bacon, a little seasoned breakfast sausage can be a fantastic substitute. If you’re using breakfast sausage, make sure it’s Whole30-approved.
- Scrap the eggs and bacon and top the fries with compliant seasoned ground beef, sliced tomatoes, chopped jalapenos, and fresh cilantro for a taco-style Whole30 loaded sweet potato fries.
- Make sure the eggs aren’t overcooked. You want the yolk to be slightly soft so that you can use it as a sauce to dip your fries in!

Instructions For Loaded Sweet Potato Fries
To make the guacamole
- Avocado and lemon juice should be mashed together in a small bowl. Set aside or refrigerate until ready to use, after tasting and adding salt as needed.
To make the Loaded Sweet Potato Fries
- Combine all of the ingredients in a large mixing bowl. Over medium heat, warm a small skillet. Cook until the bacon is crisp, then transfer to a platter and set aside.
- In a small bowl, pour the rendered bacon grease.
Combine garlic powder, onion powder, salt, paprika, cumin, cinnamon, and chili powder in a small bowl. - In a large skillet, melt the coconut oil over medium heat. Cook, tossing frequently until the raw sweet potato fries begin to soften. Toss the potatoes with the spices and mix well to coat. If necessary, add more coconut oil or ghee to prevent sticking. Transfer to a serving tray or baking dish once sweet potatoes are readily punctured with a fork.
- 1 tablespoon of the rendered bacon oil should be returned to a small skillet and warmed over medium heat. When the skillet is heated, drop two eggs into it and cook until the whites are opaque and just starting to set. If preferred, flip the cake or leave it alone until the whites have completely set. Season the eggs with salt and place them on a plate. Rep with the remaining two eggs.
- Fried eggs, guacamole, chopped bacon, sliced green onions, and a splash of ranch dressing go on top of sweet potato fries. Serve immediately with extra ranch dressing on the side for dipping.
Notes
Eggs: Avoid overcooking the eggs. The yolks should be soft enough to assist in the creation of a sauce.
