Preparation

1. In a large saucepan over a medium heat, add the sweet potatoes cubes, fill with water and bring to a boil.  Cook until tender.
2. Meanwhile, in a small skillet over a medium heat, fry the bacon bacon until crispy.
3. To hard-boil the eggs, place them in a sauce pan covered with cold water. Bring to a boil over a high heat and then reduce the heat and let simmer for 10 minutes. After the 10 minutes, drain the hot water and run some cold water over the eggs to rapidly stop them from cooking. After the eggs are cold enough to handle, you can peel them and chop them.
