Ingredients

  • 1 large sweet potato diced
  • 3 Tablespoons cooking oil divided
  • 1/2 cup onions chopped
  • 1/2 cup bell peppers chopped
  • 1 clove garlic
  • 2 Tablespoons parsley or chives, chopped
  • 1 teaspoon paprika
  • salt and pepper to taste

Instructions

  • Pre-cook sweet potatoes. Various methods can do this: bake, boil, or roast them. First, peel and cube the potatoes. We usually roast them. Toss the cubes in with a couple of teaspoons of oil and lay them in a single layer on a baking sheet. Roast at 400°F for about 20 minutes until fork tender. Do not overcook.
  • While the potato cooks, heat 1 Tablespoon of oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add onions and peppers and sauté for 4-5 minutes until soft.
  • Add the garlic and continue to cook for two more minutes until the vegetables are slightly brown. Move the vegetable mixture to a bowl and set aside.
  • Add the remaining 2 Tbsp of oil to your skillet. Heat skillet over medium heat. Add potatoes that are pre-cooked in a single layer. Cook for a few minutes undisturbed until browned on one side. Then sauté for a couple more minutes until browned on all sides.
  • If using meat, add at this step and brown slightly.
  • Once the potatoes and meat are brown, add paprika and stir. Once everything is combined, add vegetable mixture and parsley or chives.
  • Sprinkle with salt and pepper to taste. Gently mix to combine and serve warm.

Notes

  • You can substitute white potatoes for the sweet potatoes. Using leftover baked potatoes works well. 
  • You can add meat to this recipe such as ground beef, sausage, or cooked and chopped bacon. We also like it served with a fried egg on top.
