Herbed Sweet Potato Hash
Yum
This is has become one of my go-to breakfast recipes. We eat it all the time in our house. Breakfast, dinner, snack…whenever I have some sweet potatoes around, I make this!
I added this recipe to my repertoire when we recently cut white potatoes out of our diet. We used to eat white potatoes like they were going out of style. So, the switch to mostly sweet potatoes was a big one for us. But, I’ll confess after a few months, I didn’t miss them at all. I created this sweet potato hash one day for lunch when all I had in my fridge were sweet potatoes. I wanted to make a quick lunch and this recipe is the result. I added the herbs a few months ago, which added such great flavor that I make them this way every time now.
I’ve been experimenting with white potato alternatives a lot lately. You’ll see the sweet potato fries in the blog of course, but also the sweet potato chips. And, yesterday I started to experiment with butternut squash. I made fries with it. They were excellent but the recipe needs a little tweaking before I share it here. Stay tuned.
So, enjoy this delicious and quick recipe. It’s perfect anytime of day really, but is an amazing way to start the day. Let me know what you think in the comments below.
