Scale
Ingredients
- 1/2 pound bacon, sliced into 1/2 inch strips
- 1 1/2 cups diced onion
- 1 large red bell pepper, diced
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon pepper
- 2 pound sweet potatoes, peeled and cut into 1/2-inch cubes
- 1/2 teaspoon dried thyme
Instructions
- Heat a large skillet over medium-high 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 to medium heat.
- Add the onion, bell pepper, salt, and pepper to the skillet. Cook, stirring often, until the vegetables are softened, about 5 minutes.
- Add the potatoes to the skillet and stir to combine. Cover the skillet and cook for an additional 10 minutes, stirring once halfway through the cook time. After 10 minutes, remove the cover and continue to cook for an additional 5 minutes, stirring as needed, allowing any remaining liquid to evaporate and for the potatoes to lightly brown.
- Stir in the thyme and the reserved bacon. Taste, and add more salt, if needed.
