Sweet Potato Hash

What I love about this recipe, other than it’s super easy and always a hit with my Dad every time I make it, is that it can be made the night before and cooked the next day J

If you are not familiar with a Frittata, it is basically a crustless quiche, though a quiche is made with heavy cream to give it custard like consistency.  Frittatas are usually cooked on a pan on the stovetop, but I bake mine in the oven.

Sweet Potato Hash

Ingredients:

1 cup diced red pepper

1 cup diced onion

½ tsp dried thyme

1 tbsp olive oil

1 pound sweet potatoes or yams (about 3-4 potatoes, peeled and diced)

4 slices center cut bacon

Directions:

In a large skillet, cook your bacon.  Once cooked, remove bacon from the skillet and place on a paper towel lined plate.  Add the onions and peppers to the pan (using the bacon grease as your cooking fat). 

I like to put my diced potatoes in the microwave for about 3 minutes to soften them a bit before frying, but this is not a required step, it just cuts down on the cooking time.

Add the olive oil and the potatoes to the frying pan.  Add the thyme.  Stir and cover. Cook on medium heat, stirring occasionally for 15- 20 minutes.

Serve with a slice of Frittata or with a poached egg on top J
