Ingredients

For the Guacamole

2 large avocados peeled, pit removed
1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice or fresh lime juice
1 teaspoon salt to taste

For the Loaded Sweet Potato Fries

6 slices Whole30-compliant thick-cut bacon sliced into ½-inch slices
½ teaspoon garlic powder
½ teaspoon onion powder
½ teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon paprika
¼ teaspoon cumin
1 teaspoon cinnamon
1 teaspoon chili powder
2 medium sweet potatoes peeled (optional) and sliced into fries
2 tablespoons coconut oil or ghee, plus more as necessary
4 green onions sliced
4 large eggs
½ cup Whole30-compliant ranch dressing store-bought or make your own

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.

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.
