Sweet Potato Hash Browns

"These make a terrific side dish that goes with just about everything. A little putzy to make but well worth the effort. I got this from a cooking show on PBS at least 10 years ago, I don't even remember what show it was."

directions

  • Peel and dice sweet potatoes into 1/2 inch dice. Cook in a large kettle of boiling water until just barely tender (3 - 5 minutes). You should feel a slight resistance when you pierce the pieces with a fork. Drain thoroughly.
  • In a large saute pan, fry the bacon until just starting to crisp.
  • Add onions to bacon and sautee until translucent.
  • Remove bacon and onion from pan and set aside leaving drippings in pan.
  • Add oil to drippings in saute pan.
  • Add sweet potatoes to the saute pan and stir in the 1 Tbsp of sugar.( The sugar helps to caramelize the potatoes.).
  • Saute on medium high heat until potatoes start to brown. This takes about 10 - 15 minutes.
  • Return onions and bacon to pan and cook a few minutes longer.
  • Serve and enjoy.

RECIPE SUBMITTED BY

My husband and I just moved to northern Wi. into a beautiful home in the country. Cooking is what I have always enjoyed doing but now I have a really large well equipped kitchen and I am in heaven. <br>We participate in Rendezvous which are historic reenactments of the fur trade era in this country. I love the primitive camping and can cook just about anything over my open campfire.
