Sweet Potato Hash with Apples & Pancetta

     A few weeks ago I made this dish for my MOPs group and it was a huge hit.  It was so simple and tasty so good.  I will definitely have to make it again!

Recipe from Gutsy by Nature

What you need:

6oz pancetta (diced)

1 small onion (finely chopped)

1 large apple (cored, cut into 1 inch cubes)

1 tsp cinnamon

1-2 TBsp coconut oil or unsalted butter

1 large sweet potato (peeled and cut into 1 inch cubes)

1 Tbsp fresh sage (minced)

How to make it:

In a medium cast iron skillet over medium to medium-low heat, cook pancetta 3-5 minutes or until crispy and fat has rendered.

Remove pancetta with slotted spoon, leave fat in the pan.

Add the onion, apples, and cinnamon, cook until soft, about 7 minutes.

If pan is dry add 1-2 tablespoons coconut oil or butter and allow to melt.

Add sweet potatoes to pan and allow to cook undisturbed for 2 minutes.

Stir, allow to cook for another 2 minutes undisturbed.

Continue cooking sweet potatoes, stirring as needed to insure all sides get browned and none burn, until soft (about 5-6 minutes more, about 10 minutes total).

Add reserved pancetta, onion, and apples back to the pan.

Add sage and stir to combine and warm throughout.

Serve warm and ENJOY!!
