Beet Sweet Potato Hash Food

SWEET POTATO AND BEET HASH

Steps:

• In a large cast iron skillet over medium-low heat, cook the bacon until done but not crisp. Remove from the pan and set aside, leaving the fat.
• Add the onions to the pan and cook for 2 minutes.
• Add the beets to the pan, and cook for 5-7 minutes.
• Add the sweet potato to the pan and cook for 15-20 minutes, stirring every 5 minutes, until both the beets and sweet potatoes are fork-tender. Allow pieces to brown on the bottom of the pan during this process!
• Add the salt, pepper, red pepper flakes, and return the bacon to the pan. Mix thoroughly.
• Make three (or four) slight wells in the mixture, crack an egg into each well, and cover the pan with a lid. Let cook until the eggs are set, about 5 minutes.
• When the eggs are done, remove from heat, top with chopped green onions, and enjoy!

SWEET POTATO HASH

Steps:

• In a 13-inch saute pan over medium-high heat, add the bacon and olive oil. When the oil heats and the bacon begins to sizzle, add the sweet potatoes and spread out as much as possible to allow the potatoes to rest in the pan in 1 layer. Leave the potatoes to cook until a quick toss reveals browning on the side in contact with the pan, about 5 minutes. Continue to toss and let stand until most sides of the potatoes are golden and the bacon bits are crisp, 3 to 5 minutes longer. Then add the onions, garlic, jalapenos, cumin and season with a nice pinch of salt and a grind or 2 of pepper. Cook the same way, allowing everything to sit in the heat of the pan for a minute or 2. Taste and re-season if necessary.
