Ingredients
  

2 medium sweet potatoes, peeled and diced

4 strips of bacon, chopped

1 small onion, diced

1 red bell pepper, diced

2 cloves garlic, minced

1 teaspoon smoked paprika

½ teaspoon cumin

Salt and pepper to taste

2 tablespoons olive oil

2 green onions, sliced (for garnish)

Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)

Optional: 2 eggs (for topping)

Instructions
 

Prep Sweet Potatoes: Start by peeling and dicing the sweet potatoes into small cubes, about ½ inch in size. This will help them cook evenly and quickly.

    Cook Bacon: In a large skillet, cook the chopped bacon over medium heat until crispy, about 5-7 minutes. Once cooked, remove the bacon with a slotted spoon and set aside. Leave the rendered bacon fat in the skillet.

      Sauté Vegetables: In the same skillet, add the diced onion and red bell pepper to the bacon fat. Sauté for about 3-4 minutes until they begin to soften. Then, add the minced garlic, smoked paprika, cumin, salt, and pepper, cooking for an additional minute until fragrant.

        Cook Sweet Potatoes: Add the diced sweet potatoes to the skillet, stirring to combine with the vegetables. Drizzle with olive oil for extra flavor and moisture. Cook, stirring occasionally, for about 15-20 minutes until sweet potatoes are tender and crispy, making sure to check and stir every few minutes to prevent sticking.

          Combine Ingredients: Once the sweet potatoes are cooked through, add the crispy bacon back into the skillet. Stir well to combine all ingredients and cook for an additional 2 minutes to heat everything through.

            Optional Eggs: If you wish to top your hash with eggs, in another smaller skillet, fry or poach your eggs to your preferred doneness during the last few minutes of the cooking process for the hash.

              Plate and Garnish: Serve the sweet potato bacon hash hot, garnished with sliced green onions and chopped parsley. If using, place the cooked eggs on top before serving.

                Enjoy: Dig in and savor the delicious combination of sweet potatoes and crispy bacon!
