Sweet Potato Hash

This recipe is adapted from Simply Recipes.  I love her recipes.  It is generally my first-stop for anything I am craving.  They are basic and delicious.  When I make this, I like to use a combination of sweet potatoes and yams.


1 lb mild Italian ground pork
1 medium onion, finely chopped
2-3 cups chopped cooked sweet potatoes/yams
Salt and pepper
Chopped fresh parsley

Brown the ground pork over medium heat. Only drain if you have more then a couple tablespoons of fat. Add the onion and cook a few minutes, until translucent. Mix in the potatoes/yams. Spread out evenly over the pan. Increase the heat to high or medium high and press down on the mixture with a spatula.

Do not stir. You should hear them sizzling. Use a spatula to peak underneath and see if they are browning. If nicely browned, use the spatula to flip sections over in the pan so that they brown on the other side. Press down again with the spatula. If there is too much sticking, you can add a little butter to the pan. Continue to cook in this manner until the potatoes are nicely browned.

Remove from heat, stir in chopped parsley. Add plenty of freshly ground black pepper, and add salt to taste. Serve with fried or poached eggs.

If you don't know how... poached eggs.
