Time 55m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 8

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

Steps:

  • 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!

SWEET POTATO AND BACON HASH

Provided by Molly Yeh

Time 30m

Yield 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 8

Extra-virgin olive oil, for the pan
1 1/2 pounds sweet potatoes, peeled and cut into 1/2-inch cubes
12 ounces thick-cut bacon, cut into lardons
1 jalapeño, stem, seeds and ribs removed, cut into thin rings
Pinch of ground cinnamon
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
1/4 cup chopped fresh cilantro
Malt vinegar, for topping

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F and lightly grease a sheet pan with the olive oil.
  • Lay the cubed sweet potatoes in an even layer on the sheet pan. Roast until just tender, about 10 minutes. Set aside.
  • Meanwhile, add the bacon to a cast-iron pan on medium heat. Cook until the bacon is crispy and the fat has rendered, about 7 minutes. Remove to a paper towel-lined plate and set aside.
  • Add the jalapeño rings to the bacon fat and fry until blistered and lightly browned. Transfer to the paper towel-lined plate with the bacon.
  • Turn the heat to medium high. Add the cubed sweet potatoes in an even layer and season with the cinnamon and some salt and pepper. Fry until crispy and golden brown on all sides, about 7 minutes. Add the bacon and jalapeños to the pan and fold to combine. Add a few shakes of malt vinegar. Transfer to a serving dish and garnish with cilantro.

Tips:

  • To save time, use pre-cooked bacon or microwave bacon strips according to package directions.
  • For a crispier hash, cook the potatoes and bacon separately until browned, then combine them in the skillet.
  • Add other vegetables to the hash, such as diced bell peppers, onions, or zucchini.
  • Season the hash with your favorite herbs and spices, such as garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, or chili powder.
  • Top the hash with a fried or poached egg for a complete breakfast.
