Photo: Sweet Potato Hash Recipe
Ingredients
- 3 strips bacon, chopped
- 3 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 medium sweet potatoes, about 8 ounces each, peeled and 1/4-inch diced
- 1/2 cup chopped red onion
- 2 cloves garlic, thinly sliced
- 1 tablespoon pickled jalapenos, chopped
- 1/2 teaspoon ground cumin
- Salt and freshly ground black pepper
Directions
In a 13-inch saute pan over medium-high heat, add the bacon and olive oil. When the oil heats and the bacon begins to sizzle, add the sweet potatoes and spread out as much as possible to allow the potatoes to rest in the pan in 1 layer. Leave the potatoes to cook until a quick toss reveals browning on the side in contact with the pan, about 5 minutes. Continue to toss and let stand until most sides of the potatoes are golden and the bacon bits are crisp, 3 to 5 minutes longer. Then add the onions, garlic, jalapenos, cumin and season with a nice pinch of salt and a grind or 2 of pepper. Cook the same way, allowing everything to sit in the heat of the pan for a minute or 2. Taste and re-season if necessary.

Good dish which I turned into a main course. I had leftover pork roast and added that in at the last moment, just to heat up, and had a one pot meal. I think this would work nicely also with a hearty turkey sausage. I agree with other reviewers that the jalopeno and sweet potato married perfectly.

Made this yesterday as a breakfast side dish, along w/ Sunny's cheesy scrambled eggs. LOVED IT and so did my friend. I decided to leave the skin on the sweet potatoes, but I wouldn't do that next time as the skin burned a bit. I also added 1 additional piece of bacon (4 pieces instead of 3 and I might even add a little more next time to really get that bacon flavor going move throughout it. But the jalapeno was a perfect element and the caramelization of the whole dish was perfect. Will definitely make this again-- may even use it as a Thanksgiving side!
