Sweet Potato Hash


The perfect Pre Thanksgiving Breakfast!

I have recently discovered Japanese Sweet Potatoes (Murasaki)
 and they are my new obsession.  They are white in color and much firmer than a traditional sweet potato but still nice and sweet without being over the top sweet.  They hold up amazing to oven roasting, baking and pan frying.   Japanese sweet potatoes are also lower in calories and carbohydrates which make them the perfect choice if you are trying to cut down and watch your weight but don't want to give up delicious potatoes altogether.

Nanci is visiting me this week for Thanksgiving and this has been our go to breakfast every morning, Sweet Potato Hash and Eggs.  OMG so delicious, nutritious and it literally keeps us from being hungry for hours while we run around shopping all day!

You can find these delicious Japanese sweet potatoes in Whole Foods, Trader Joes and most supermarkets.  They have Purpley/Red skin with a white interior.


Ingredients:
1 Japanese Sweet Potato, diced into small pieces
1/2 Sweet onion, diced
1 Red pepper, diced
pinch of salt
1 teaspoon of Rub mixture (recipe below)

Rub Mixture: (make this mixture and keep in an air tight container for use over and over again)
2 tablespoons dark brown sugar
1 1/2 tablespoons smoked paprika
1 tablespoon black pepper
2 teaspoons chili powder
2 teaspoons salt
1 teaspoon cumin
1/2 teaspoon cayenne pepper

Preparation:

In a medium saucepan add 1 tablespoon of butter and 1 tablespoon olive oil and heat over medium heat.  Add onions and peppers an sautee' until onions are translucent.  Add diced potatoes and sprinkle with your rub spice mix and continue to sautee' until the vegetables are soft and brown and the potatoes are crispy about 10-15 minutes.  Taste to make sure your potatoes are tender.  Sautee' to taste!

Serve immediately with sunny side up eggs and enjoy!
