Sweet Potato Hash - Faithful Provisions

Ingredients

• 3 medium sweet potatoes with skin on, diced
• 1 small onion, diced
• 2 cloves garlic, minced
• ½ teaspoon red pepper flakes (optional)
• ¼ cup to ½ cup vegetable broth (optional)
• 1 tablespoon coconut oil (or bacon grease, or your preference)
• ¼ cup crispy bacon crumbles (optional)
• Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions

1. With skillet on medium heat, put oil, onions, and potatoes in first.
2. Cook until these get caramelized and a little soft. Then add the garlic. (Since the potatoes will take longer to cook through, I wait until later to add the garlic so it won’t burn.)
3. Once sweet potatoes start getting soft (test doneness with a fork) then add some flavor with salt, pepper, and if you like, red pepper flakes. (If I'm serving the kids, I use red pepper sparingly.)
4. Deglaze the pan with a little vegetable broth or water.
5. Top with bacon crumbles (optional).
