Sweet Potato Hash

Yummy and amazing!  We loved this recipe.  It was very filling and easy to make.  I am so happy we tried it and we plan to eat it often - whether we are eating Paleo or not.  Brad got this recipe from one of his Marines (thanks Adam!).  We added on some cilantro on top of our scrambled eggs and of course cilantro makes everything better.  :)  Now you can try it:

(From:  Adam North)

Ingredients:  2 Large Sweet Potatoes, 1 Green Bell Pepper, 1 Red Bell Pepper, Bacon (1/2 lb or so...I go big with this guy), Onion, Garlic Salt, Pepper, Chili Powder

Cube bacon and peel & cut the sweet potatoes into 1 - 1/2" cubes.  Cut up the peppers and onions to your liking, but remember that they shrink almost immediately when they hit a hot pan.

In a large skillet, cook the bacon, then remove to the side (keep the bacon fat in the skillet).  Keeping the stove-top heat around medium, throw the onions and peppers into the pan until they just start to sweat (about 2 minutes or so).  Then, throw in the cubed sweet potatoes and cover the skillet (this allows steam to soften the sweet potatoes).  After about 5 minutes or so, check the potatoes.  Once they begin to sweat, liberally apply your spices and re-cover.  Shuffle around the ingredients to prevent charring and routinely check your sweet potatoes for your desired texture.  Once your sweet potatoes are just about there, turn up the heat and lightly char (or severely caramelize...whichever phrase you prefer) the sides of your sweet potato cubes.  Then, throw in your bacon during the last 30 - 60 seconds of cooking.

Throw in a large bowl fit for caveman consumption and top your hash with 2-3 over-easy eggs.  Apply franks red hot or chaluala hot sauce as necessary.
