Prep the savory hash and refrigerate in individual ramekins for a quick and easy breakfast; just top with an egg and bake.

Provided by Sara Kate Gillingham

Categories     Egg     Onion     Side     Sweet Potato/Yam     Fall

Number Of Ingredients 10

2 tbsp unsalted butter
2 to 3 large yellow onions (about 2 lb), halved, thinly sliced, then halved again
Kosher salt
freshly ground black pepper
3 large sweet potatoes (about 3 lb), skin intact, chopped into 1/4"-1/2" cubes
1/4 cup olive oil
1 1/2 tsp smoked paprika
2 tbsp (packed) finely minced fresh rosemary or oregano leaves
4 to 6 large eggs
shaved Parmesan, for serving (optional)

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 450°. Line a large baking sheet with foil or parchment paper.
  • Melt butter in a cast-iron or other heavy skillet over medium-high heat. When it foams, add onions and sprinkle lightly with salt and pepper. (Don't worry if they are crammed into the pan; they will rapidly cook down.) Lower heat slightly and cook, stirring occasionally (reduce heat further if they seem to be burning), until dark brown, about 20-30 minutes.
  • Meanwhile, toss sweet potatoes, oil, 1 1/2 tsp salt, smoked paprika, a generous helping of black pepper, and minced rosemary or oregano in a large bowl. Stir in onions.
  • Spread sweet potato mixture on prepared baking sheet and roast for 25-40 minutes, stirring every 10-15 minutes, until sweet potatoes are soft and browned.
  • Reduce oven temperature to 425°. Spread a relatively thin layer of the cooked sweet potato hash in individual ramekins, a cast-iron skillet, or a 9" x 13" baking dish.
  • Make small wells in the hash and crack in the eggs. Sprinkle lightly with salt and pepper. Bake for 10-20 minutes, or until hash is hot and eggs are baked to your preference. Test the eggs by prodding them with a fork to check the firmness of the white and the runniness of the yolk.
  • Serve immediately, with Parmesan, if desired.

SWEET POTATOES WITH CARAMELIZED ONION



Sweet Potatoes With Caramelized Onion image

I fail to remember where this recipe first appeared but chances are it was from Canadian Living magazine. This simple dish is much richer than you would expect and pairs well with grilled meats especially lamb and pork. Since sweet potatoes are very moist, adjust the amount of sour cream or milk to your taste. I do recall that the original recipe recommended placing the sweet potatoes and onion mixture in a food processor until blended. I found this method too gluey and altered it as stated.

Categories     Yam/Sweet Potato

Time 1h40m

Yield 4-6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 8

1/4 cup olive oil
1 large Spanish onion, thinly sliced
2 tablespoons fresh thyme leaves
3 large sweet potatoes
2 tablespoons butter
1/4 cup low-fat sour cream (Carnation low fat works very well) or 1/4 cup milk (Carnation low fat works very well)
salt
fresh ground pepper

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 400º.
  • Heat olive oil in frying pan at medium heat and add onion. Sauté until rings separate. Reduce heat to medium low and continue cooking uncovered, until onions are soft and caramelized at least 30 minutes or more, stirring occasionally.
  • Meanwhile, prick whole potatoes with skins on and bake in roasting pan for 40 minutes or until soft. When cool enough to handle peel skins from potatoes and set aside.
  • When onions are soft add thyme, salt and pepper to taste and mix well. At this point you can either place the onions in a food processor and pulse until they are slightly chunky or chop with a sharp knife.
  • Heat a medium sized pot and add butter. Add the sweet potatoes and mash with a fork or potato masher. Add the sour cream or milk a little at a time then add the onion mixture. Blend with a wooden spoon until fully incorporated and adjust S & P to taste.

CARMELIZED ROASTED SWEET POTATOES



Carmelized Roasted Sweet Potatoes image

I make these roasted potatoes often, especially in autumn and winter. They're so yummy that you will forget how good they are for you. They pair well with ham, turkey or chicken. I sometimes even make these just especially for lunch.

Provided by ForeverMama

Categories     Yam/Sweet Potato

Time 45m

Yield 7-8 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 7

4 medium large sweet potatoes, peeled and cut into 1-inch cubes
7 -8 tablespoons maple syrup, divided
8 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil, divided
2 1/2 teaspoons kosher salt, divided
1 1/2 teaspoons fresh ground black pepper, plus more for seasoning
3 -4 large onions, peeled, cut in half and very thinly sliced
4 tablespoons balsamic vinegar

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 400 degrees Fahrenheit.
  • In a large bowl add sweet potatoes, 4 tablespoons of maple syrup, 4 tablespoons of the olive oil, 2 1/2 teaspoons salt and 1 1/2 teaspoons black pepper. Mix to evenly coat the potatoes. Set aside.
  • In a large skillet over low heat, add 3-4 tablespoons olive oil until heated. Add the sliced onions. Saute, stirring every so often for 20 minutes or until they caramelize. (NOTE: it is very important to saute the onions over low heat, to avoid them from burning). Once they are caramelized, add the remaining 3 to 4 tablespoons maple syrup and the balsamic vinegar. Stir to mix flavors. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Continue sauteing until onions are dark golden brown and fully caramelized, about 5-10 minutes more. Add water, 1 tablespoon at a time, if pan becomes dry. (Refer to Tidbit below).
  • Arrange sweet potatoes on a sheet tray. Roast for about 25 to 30 minutes. Mid-way through cooking, lift and turn-over potatoes to brown evenly. Dot caramelized onions over the roasted sweet potato cubes. With a spatula, lift and turn-over potatoes again to evenly distribute onion mixture. Roast for an additional 5 - 8 minutes until potatoes are cooked through and slightly browned. Taste for seasoning.
  • Transfer to serving tray and enjoy!
  • Tidbit: Note that onions will cook down alot; decreasing the volume. Depending on the power of your stove top and the amount of onions you have in the pan, it may take a longer time for onions to be fully carmelized. They should be dark (not burned) and cooked way down.
  • Another tidbit: If not using freshly ground pepper in this recipe, it makes a big enough difference. The store prepared ground doesn't have as much depth.
