Sweet And Purple Potato Hash Food

POTATO HASH

Steps:

• Add 3 cloves of smashed garlic, a few large pinches of salt and potatoes to a large pot and cover with cold water. Bring to a boil over high heat and cook until potatoes are just tender, about 10 minutes. Drain potatoes and discard the garlic. Transfer the potatoes to a sheet tray lined with a clean dish towel to dry slightly.
• Add enough oil to coat the bottom of a large skillet and heat over medium heat. Add the onion and cook, stirring, until just translucent, about 5 minutes. Add the crushed red pepper and the remaining 2 cloves garlic and cook, stirring, until soft and tender, about 3 minutes. Increase the heat to medium-high and add the cooked potatoes. Cook, stirring frequently, until the potatoes start to get crispy and golden brown on all sides, about 5 minutes. (If the potatoes get too dry, add the chicken stock.) Remove from the heat and stir in the chives.

SWEET POTATO HASH

Steps:

• Add the potatoes to a large saucepan of salted boiling water and simmer until tender. Drain and dry completely with paper towels.
• Meanwhile, heat 2 tablespoons oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the red onions, bell peppers, green onions, and garlic, and saute until tender and lightly golden, 5 to 6 minutes. Season with salt and pepper and remove to a bowl.
• Add the remaining 4 tablespoons oil to the skillet, and then add the drained and dried sweet potatoes. Cook in a single layer, stirring occasionally, on medium heat until they are tender, about 6 minutes. Increase the heat to high and cook, without stirring, until the potatoes are golden and crisp, about 2 more minutes. Sprinkle with the smoked paprika and gently stir in the onion mixture and parsley.

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.
