Those sweet potatoes though...




Sweet potato. Oh how I've had a huge misconception of what you tasted like up until recently. I was introduced to sweet potatoes in dumpling form, loaded with butter and brown sugar and HATED them. Then, I tried them loaded with butter and bourbon in mashed form.... even worse. Finally, I had just a plain old yam with some S&P. They're almost addicting now for me. I can't wait for the fall when they're in season for the midwest. They are so good just cooked off by themselves, awesome low-glycemic carb, loaded with vitamin A, good amount of B6. Pretty impressive for being so ugly on the outside. Anyhow, I decided to make a hash out of them for breakfast, and it turned out extremely well. All I did was thinly slice the amount of sweet potato that looked close to filling for me, tossed it in coconut oil in a skillet,  added some bacon, garlic and onion powder, fresh cracked pepper, and topped it with an egg, turmeric, and avocado. This kept me satisfied for a good portion of the day. Well done baby yams, well done.
