This skillet is a great way to use up leftover sweet potatoes. I always have a few extra sweet potatoes lying around, and this is a great way to use them up.

I was disappointed with this recipe. The sweet potatoes were undercooked, and the eggs were overcooked.

This skillet was a bit bland for my taste. I think I would have liked it better if I had added some more spices.

The only thing I would change about this recipe is to add a little more cheese. I love cheese, so I think it would make the skillet even more delicious.

The sweet potatoes were cooked perfectly - they were soft and tender, but still had a little bite to them.
