Scale
Ingredients
- 1/2 pound bacon sliced in 1/2 inch strips
- 1 1/2 cups diced onion
- 1 large red pepper diced
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon pepper
- 2 pounds sweet potatoes, peeled and cut in 1/2 inch cubes
- 1/2 tsp dried thyme
Instructions
- Heat a large skillet over medium heat and add the bacon. Cook until crisp. Remove with a slotted spoon to a paper towel lined plate. Discard all but 2 tablespoons of the bacon grease. Return the pan with the 2 tablespoons of grease to the heat.
- Add the onion, red pepper, salt and pepper to the skillet. Cook, stirring often, until the vegetables are softened, about 5 minutes. Add in the potatoes, cover the skillet and cook for 10 minutes, stirring halfway through. Remove the cover and cook an additional 5 minutes, allowing any remaining liquid to evaporate and for the potatoes to get lightly brown. Stir in the thyme and the reserved bacon. Taste and add more salt, if needed.
