Season the pork shoulder with salt, black pepper, onion powder, garlic powder, and paprika. Rub the spices evenly over the meat.
Place the pork shoulder in a slow cooker and cook on low for 8 hours or until the meat is tender and easily shreds with a fork.
While the pork is cooking, preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C).
Peel and slice the sweet potatoes into 1/2-inch-thick rounds. Place on a baking sheet, drizzle with olive oil, and sprinkle lightly with salt and pepper.
Roast the sweet potato rounds in the oven for 20-25 minutes, flipping halfway through, until tender and slightly brown.
For the hollandaise sauce, melt the ghee in a small saucepan over low heat.
In a blender, combine egg yolks, lemon juice, and cayenne pepper. Blend until smooth.
With the blender running at low speed, slowly drizzle the melted ghee into the egg mixture until fully combined and thick. Adjust seasoning with salt to taste.
Fill a large saucepan with about 3 inches of water and bring to a gentle simmer. Add apple cider vinegar.
Crack each egg into a small bowl, then gently slide into the simmering water. Poach eggs for about 3-4 minutes or until whites are set but yolks are runny.
To assemble, place a few sweet potato rounds on each plate. Top with a generous portion of pulled pork.
Place a poached egg on top of each pork-topped sweet potato round.
Drizzle with hollandaise sauce and garnish with chopped chives.
Serve immediately and enjoy!
