Ingredients:

Serving

2 sweet potatoes, peeled and diced
1 1/2 tbsp olive oil
3/4 tsp nutmeg
3/4 tsp paprika
3/4 tsp turmeric
3 beaten eggs
1/4 cup grated cheese ( i like parmesan)
salt
pepper
2 tsp olive oil

Directions:

In a pot, cover the sweet potato with water. Bring to a simmer then leave covered for 15-25 minutes, depending on its size: until it's cooked.
Drain and put in a mixing bowl. Mash.
In a small pan, heat the 1 1/2 tbsp olive oil. Add the spices and fry for about 3 minutes- just enough to release their flavour.
Stir the oil mixture into the sweet potato.
Mix the cheese and eggs into the sweet potato mixture. If necessary, use a mixer.
Stir in salt and pepper.
Heat the two teaspoons of olive oil in a large, deep pan (at least 10 wide).
Pour mixture into pan. Even and flatten it out, then cover for five minutes.
Stir the mixture around. Even it and flatten again - leave for another two minutes, covered.
Now keep stirring until it reaches the consistency, texture and colour you desire.
If you feel like fiddling around a bit,
You could try baking this. I'm sure it would work but I have no idea how long and at what temperature :(.
Also, in my first attempt, at step #9 I tried to do this frittata-style and slide it onto a plate, then flip it back into the pan. Did NOT work but you're welcome to try !
