A healthy and tasty Alternative to hash browns, sweet potato hash.
Sunday morning breakfast usually involves cooking a more elaborate meal than any other day of the week for me. I was wandering through the kitchen for inspiration from the ingredients that were already there when I remembered that I had these sweet potatoes on hand. Left over from a meal that was planned earlier this week for dinner that never got made, I decided that sweet potato hash would be the bomb. And indeed it was! With the addition of bacon for my honey, because he loves bacon, and a little maple and of course my latest obsession of alder wood smoked salt, the hash was a little sweet and a touch smokey too.
I started by cooking the bacon first. Then I chopped some up to add to the hash. Eggs were cooked to order. This recipe served 4.
4 medium sweet potatoes, scrubbed, peeled and diced into small cubes
1 pound of bacon cooked, set aside about 7 slices to chop up and add to the hash
1 small yellow onion, diced
2 tbsp. maple syrup
pinch of alder wood smoked salt
pepper to taste
2 tbsp olive oil.
Add oil to large skillet set on medium heat. I use cast iron most of the time to cook with. Add the onion and cook for about 2 minutes till translucent. Add sweet potato. Cook until tender about 10 minutes. Add the cooked bacon, salt and pepper till bacon is heated through. After you plate the hash, drizzle the maple syrup over it. Serve with eggs cooked to order. And a side of more bacon!
