A Little Spot of Beauty in Your Otherwise Dull Day.
You must eat this. Not only today, but everyday until it doesn't seem like the best idea you've ever heard of. This my friends, is a soft boiled egg on bacon infused sweet potatoes with a parsley coulis. Phenomenal.
It's a pretty straightforward but brilliant recipe from Chicago chef Bruce Sherman. Like me, Sherman suffers from a severe predilection for eggs. Unlike me, Sherman had the idea to infuse sweet potatoes with bacon and create this vividly colored and deceptively simple masterpiece of a dish. Bastard.
Check out the recipe from Saveur that was originally published in their October 2007 issue.
Don't despair, just eat it.

No worries, Amanda! I know how it is visiting family... the time just flies!
This dish is really delicious, but a little finicky. You can tell it's a restaurant recipe when you're preparing it - lots of steps.
