BACON HASSELBACK SWEET POTATOES

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F.
• To a large cast-iron pan, add the bacon in an even layer. Turn the heat to medium and cook until crispy, around 4 minutes per side. Drain on paper towels and set aside. When cool enough to handle, break into pieces.
• To the bacon fat in the pan, add the maple syrup, paprika and 2 teaspoons salt. Set aside.
• One at a time, place a potato between the handles of 2 wooden spoons or 2 chopsticks. Slice each potato into 1/8-inch-thick slices; the spoon handles will prevent the knife from cutting all the way through. Place the potatoes in the pan and baste with the bacon fat/maple syrup mixture all over, including the bottoms and in between the slices. Roast until the potatoes are soft, basting halfway through, about 1 hour. Remove from the oven and add bacon between the slices. Place on a serving platter and garnish with the chives and salt to taste.

SWEET POTATO AND BACON HASH

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F and lightly grease a sheet pan with the olive oil.
• Lay the cubed sweet potatoes in an even layer on the sheet pan. Roast until just tender, about 10 minutes. Set aside.
• Meanwhile, add the bacon to a cast-iron pan on medium heat. Cook until the bacon is crispy and the fat has rendered, about 7 minutes. Remove to a paper towel-lined plate and set aside.
• Add the jalapeño rings to the bacon fat and fry until blistered and lightly browned. Transfer to the paper towel-lined plate with the bacon.
• Turn the heat to medium high. Add the cubed sweet potatoes in an even layer and season with the cinnamon and some salt and pepper. Fry until crispy and golden brown on all sides, about 7 minutes. Add the bacon and jalapeños to the pan and fold to combine. Add a few shakes of malt vinegar. Transfer to a serving dish and garnish with cilantro.
