Sweet Potato Apple Hash

By Mangia Paleo January 11, 2014 Recipes 12 Comments

This recipe includes bacon so watch your salivary glands while reading. It may put them in overdrive. This is a very easy recipe to make and goes with a lot of meals. The hardest part (which isn’t hard at all ) is simply chopping all the ingredients. Then you just throw them in the pan. It’s so easy a caveman could do it. Sorry, I had to.

Ingredients:

8 oz. bacon, diced

3 medium sweet potatoes, peeled and cubed

2 medium apples, peeled and cubed

1 garlic clove, minced

1 leek, diced (white/light green part only)

1/4 tsp cinnamon

1/4 tsp ginger

1/4 tsp paprika

1/4 tsp black pepper

Directions:
Chop and dice all ingredients first and set aside. Chop bacon into 1/2 inch dices. Peel sweet pots and apple. Chop them into 1/4 inch cubes.

In a cast iron skillet cook bacon first until semi-crisp and the fat has completely rendered. Add the sweet potatoes, garlic, leek, cinnamon, ginger, paprika and S&P. Do not add apples yet.

Sauté until sweet potatoes are tender and starting to get soft.
Add apples in last 2-3 minutes of cooking.

Serving suggestions: As a side dish to pork tenderloin. With sausage and eggs at breakfast. Or straight from a bowl. MANGIA!

Sweet potato apple hash is amazing and has become my go-to side dish to compliment eggs or pork (the apples make this an especially nice combination) and even as a stand-alone dish as a mid-morning snack!
Even though I have already made it many times since first seeing your recipe, I was happy to see this post because of the pictures! I can already see at least one adjustment I need to make in my technique. Thank you and keep up the good work. I appreciate your efforts!

  I use braeburn or pink lady. They are my favorite apply to eat plain and I also think it’s delicious in dishes. Any good cooking apple will do!
