- 1/4 cup onion, diced

In a large oven-proof frying pan or a cast-iron skillet over medium-high heat, add olive oil. Add the diced yams and cook, stirring occasionally, until browned approximately 8 to 10 minutes. Reduce heat to medium and add the onions, chile pepper, garlic, and salt and pepper to taste. Cook approximately an additional 1 to 2 minutes.

Using the back of a spoon, make 4 wells (slight depressions) in the yam hash browns. Crack an egg into each well, season lightly with salt and pepper. Sprinkle the grated cheese on top of each egg.
