Freaking long title...but damn all that butter. Should be yummy.
So far all I've got going is the potatoes, or rather, potato - as it was ginormous (I should have taken a photo, my bad.) Roasting pleasantly away in the oven, warming up the kitchen; although it doesn't smell like anything yet. Olive oil, salt, pepper and a bit of cayenne. (It's reported now as being quite spicy by the spice expert in the house.) They're like spicy candy.
Side note: I'm not really digging the default background here, so I'll have to come up with something different.
Now, while I have eaten most of the ingredients in this dish, and even prepared one of them, I've never made hollandaise sauce, nor have I ever cooked sweet potatoes [except one really lame attempt to make sweet potato fries. Did not end well. Oops.]
This is the recipe I'm using. I'm pretty much following it to the letter except for the garnish of the chives, I forgot to buy them. (Swiss cheese memory and all, Al.)

Butter and egg yolks - eggs from Harmony Farms...awesome. http://harmonyjackfarms.com/home.php
2 attempts at Hollandaise sauce...ruined. First one due to a bowl that broke in half and second one due to bad technique or something. Turned into scrambled eggs swimming in butter. Bah humbug. Am out of eggs now, so I can't try again. Ruined 6 lovely eggs and now poached salmon with no sauce...
Jeremy is either crazy or a brave soul as he is going to try the eggs swimming butter sauce...
He thinks maybe it could be more like the butter sauce that you dip lobster in.
