    While the flavor of this dish is excellent, the texture was a bit soft. When the onions were added, the bacon turned soft, and the sweet potatoes never crisped in the pan with the apples which went soft quickly as well. A crispy version of this would rock. Maybe cook everything separately and then combine at the end? Or cook in small batches with more bacon fat. I ended up topping this dish with a little parmesan cheese and browning it under the broiler which helped.

    This is a wonderfully festive dish that is tasty rather for a formal get together or a relaxing summer grill.

    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

    Delicious! I will use less olive oil next time, as it really doesn't take more than a splash to be sufficient. Very good, my husband loved it, and this will definitely be a dish I make again and again.

    This is a very good recipe. However, if you use fatty bacon or slab bacon, make sure to drain some of the bacon grease. I used thick cut slab bacon and it made the whole dish seem greasy and heavy.

    I made this with stuffed chicken breast and it was great. I would 1/2 the recipe next time because I'm cooking for 2. I don't think it'd be so great the next day (soggy, and the amount it makes is A LOT. Even with a bigger pan I think I'd have been out of luck. I had to set aside the apples, onion, and bacon while I crisped the potatoes, then mixed it together. I omitted the pepitas and replaced the scallions for shallots because it's all I had. I also did not put olive oil in the pan to fry bacon, kind of pointless because the bacon will fry in it's own fat. I then threw out the bacon grease and set the bacon aside, then continued cooking with olive oil since it's healthier.

    Also, anything w/ a 30 min. prep time isn't easy to me, it's medium. Besides that the flavor was excellent and my boyfriend who isn't a fan of sweet potatoes loved it and went back for seconds.

    I turned this into a chicken hash because I didn't have enough bacon to use. I didn't use the scallions or the pepitas either. It still turned out great! I thought it needed a bit more oomph so I made the maple glaze from the glazed chicken recipe but only used 1/4 cup of real maple syrup and instead of cayenne I used a pinch of dried red pepper flakes. Once that reduced down a bit I poured it over the entire hash and gave it a toss to mix it in. It was delicious!
