Ingredients

Bacon Cups:

24 slices pancetta, sliced 1/16-inch thick

Sweet Potato Hash:

4 strips bacon
1 large sweet potato, small diced
4 stalks celery, diced
1 small yellow onion, diced
2 cloves garlic, chopped
1 teaspoon paprika
1/2 teaspoon red pepper flakes
Salt and freshly ground pepper
24 fresh parsley leaves

Special equipment:

2 (24-count) nonstick mini muffin tins

Directions

For Bacon Cups:

Preheat oven to 400 degrees F.

Carefully place a slice of pancetta in one of the cups of the muffin tin making sure to gently press it into the cup like pie dough in a pie shell. Repeat with remaining slices of pancetta. Carefully place the second muffin tin on top of the first so that the pancetta is sandwiched in between the 2 tins. Flip the muffin tins upside down and place onto a sheet tray and bake in oven for 12 minutes. Remove from oven and carefully remove the top muffin tin. Let the cups cool slightly before removing to another baking sheet lined with paper towels.

For Hash:

In a large skillet over medium heat brown the bacon. Remove the bacon from the skillet and place on a plate lined with a paper towel. In the skillet with the bacon fat, add potatoes, celery, onion, garlic, red pepper flakes, paprika and season with salt and pepper. Saute over medium heat, stirring frequently, until potatoes are tender about 12 minutes. Crumble in cooked bacon and stir to combine.

For Assembly:

Fill each bacon cup with a tablespoon of the hash and garnish with a parsley leaf.

A great hit!!!
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

I made this for Christmas Eve, but used regular potatoes instead and it was amazing!!!! My whole family loved it! We used... the leftover potato hash the next day (since I didn't have enough proscuitto cups made), and put it in crescent rolls and made little potato has bites out of them. I can't wait for more WWBBM? to get more great recipes!!!Read more

Sweet Potato Hash - Delicious
Rated: 4 stars out of 5

The recipe was easy enough to follow and the sweet potato hash is delicious, but my attempt at the bacon cups failed as the... pancetta stuck to the muffin tin. I don't know if it was because I baked them longer than 12 minutes. The bacon cups were beautiful, nice and crisp, but I could not remove them in tact from the tins. The next time I will spray both tins with PAM before inserting the pancetta and the top tin. Loved Brian's show, let's have more of Brian on Food Network. Aloha from HawaiiRead more

My family & guests love these, and I'd like more recipes like this. Where's Brian?! Some of his recipes aren't my taste,... but I've learned a lot about preparing food from him, and he makes it fun to learn. He's my favorite. Please get him back.Read more

Loved these!
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

These were a big hit with my husband and I. I think you could just make the hash minus the bacon cups for a really great... side dish.Read more

impressive presentation for parties and yummy
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

This was very tasty...I used prosciutto instead because my grocer did not happen to have to other stuff. I also used a larger... cupcake-sized pan. I did not have two of them so I just turned the one I had upside down and wrapped the prosciutto around each cup. It worked just as well. Very tasty! Read more
