Sweet Potato Apple Hash
This recipe includes bacon so watch your salivary glands while reading. It may put them in overdrive. This is a very easy recipe to make and goes with a lot of meals. The hardest part (which isn’t hard at all ) is simply chopping all the ingredients. Then you just throw them in the pan. It’s so easy a caveman could do it. Sorry, I had to.
Ingredients:
- 8 oz. bacon, diced
- 3 medium sweet potatoes, peeled and cubed
- 2 medium apples, peeled and cubed
- 1 garlic clove, minced
- 1 leek, diced (white/light green part only)
- 1/4 tsp cinnamon
- 1/4 tsp ginger
- 1/4 tsp paprika
- 1/4 tsp black pepper
Directions:
Chop and dice all ingredients first and set aside. Chop bacon into 1/2 inch dices. Peel sweet pots and apple. Chop them into 1/4 inch cubes.In a cast iron skillet cook bacon first until semi-crisp and the fat has completely rendered. Add the sweet potatoes, garlic, leek, cinnamon, ginger, paprika and S&P. Do not add apples yet.
Sauté until sweet potatoes are tender and starting to get soft.
Add apples in last 2-3 minutes of cooking.Serving suggestions: As a side dish to pork tenderloin. With sausage and eggs at breakfast. Or straight from a bowl. MANGIA!

Sweet potato apple hash is amazing and has become my go-to side dish to compliment eggs or pork (the apples make this an especially nice combination) and even as a stand-alone dish as a mid-morning snack!
Even though I have already made it many times since first seeing your recipe, I was happy to see this post because of the pictures! I can already see at least one adjustment I need to make in my technique. Thank you and keep up the good work. I appreciate your efforts!
do you have any suggestions as to what kind of apples to use? (red vs green etc?)
I use braeburn or pink lady. They are my favorite apply to eat plain and I also think it’s delicious in dishes. Any good cooking apple will do!
