Ingredients

• 2 medium Sweet potatoes
• 6 slices Bacon
• 1 medium Yellow onion
• 1 Red bell pepper
• 2 Garlic cloves
• 2 tablespoons Olive oil
• 1 teaspoon Smoked paprika
• 1 teaspoon Ground cumin
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
• 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley

Directions

Step 1

Peel the sweet potatoes and dice them into small 1/2-inch cubes for even cooking.

Step 2

Dice the yellow onion and red bell pepper into small pieces. Mince the garlic cloves.

Step 3

Chop the fresh parsley and set it aside for garnish.

Step 4

In a large skillet, cook the bacon over medium heat until crispy, about 6-8 minutes, flipping occasionally. Remove the bacon from the skillet and place it on a plate lined with paper towels. Reserve about 2 tablespoons of bacon grease in the skillet, discarding the rest.

Step 5

Add the diced sweet potatoes to the skillet with the reserved bacon grease. Cook over medium heat for 8-10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the sweet potatoes start to soften and develop color.

Step 6

Push the sweet potatoes to one side of the skillet. Add the onion and red bell pepper to the empty side, and cook for 3-4 minutes until softened.

Step 7

Mix the sweet potatoes, onions, and bell pepper together in the skillet. Add the minced garlic, smoked paprika, ground cumin, salt, and black pepper. Stir well to coat the vegetables in the spices. Cook for an additional 2-3 minutes until fragrant.

Step 8

While the vegetables are cooking, chop the crispy bacon into small pieces.

Step 9

Add the chopped bacon back to the skillet, stirring to combine it with the sweet potato mixture. Cook for 1-2 minutes to heat everything through.

Step 10

Remove the skillet from heat and sprinkle the sweet potato hash with fresh parsley before serving.
