Photo: Sweet Potato, Bacon and Apple Hash Recipe
Ingredients
- 2 garnet yams, peeled and cut into 1/2-inch dice
- Extra-virgin olive oil
- Kosher salt
- 4 to 6 slices thick cut bacon, cut into lardons
- 1 large onion, cut in 1/2-inch dice
- 2 Granny Smith apples, cored and cut into 1/2-inch dice
- 4 scallions, white and green parts separated and thinly sliced
- 1/2 cup green pumpkin seeds (pepitas), toasted
Directions
Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.
In a large bowl, add the sweet potatoes, drizzle with olive oil and sprinkle with salt, to taste. Toss to coat and arrange them on a baking sheet. Roast the sweet potatoes until they are soft but not mushy, about 10 to 15 minutes. Remove from the oven and reserve.
Coat a large saute pan with olive oil. Add the bacon and put the pan over medium heat. When the bacon has started to get crispy and brown, add the onions, season with salt and saute until the onions are very soft and aromatic. Add the apples and the scallion whites and saute for 3 to 4 minutes. Stir in the sweet potatoes, and saute until the sweet potatoes are cooked through and starting to become crispy, about 7 to 8 minutes.
Transfer to a serving platter and garnish with the scallion greens and pumpkin seeds.
Fantastico!

This is an Excellent hash recipe. If you plan ahead and take the time to "put in place" all of your diced veg and sliced bacon....you Do Not Need to Change Anything about this recipe. Don't fret about the bacon cooked in oil producing too much grease....if you follow the steps outlined, all of the onion, apple and potato will use the fat just as it is supposed to and it's Perfect.
The toasted pepitas and scallion green added at the finish give a wonderful toasty crunch and contrast. Score again for chef Anne!!!!

This is my favorite recipe for the winter season. I would not change a thing in the ingredients. I stock up apples in the fridge and sweet potatoes in my basement. So, I can cook this dish any time for my family and guests. If I ran out of bacon, I would use sausage instead. This dish is so yummy and nutritious. Even leftover is very good for a couple days.

Super delicious! My husband, son and I really enjoyed this side dish. I served it alongside a glazed ham steak. Instead of bacon, I used pancetta. The only problem I had (my fault, not the recipe's is by the time the potatoes started to crisp, some of my onions burned. I'll have to be more vigilant next time, but it was still absolutely yummy. I'll also add more bacon so the flavor is more pronounced. What could be better than nutritious produce bathed in pork fat? NOTHING! :0
