Sweet Potato Hash

Ingredients: makes 6 servings

1/2 an onion, diced

1 lbs country sausage*

3 tsp cumin

1/2 tsp cayenne pepper (or a dash if you’re a wimp, but don’t skip out)

1 lbs sweet potatoes/yams, peeled and grated

3 Tbs butter (I usually end up doing about 1 1/2 Tbs)

salt and pepper to taste 

fried egg (optional, but oddly incredible)

In a large skillet over medium heat, cook onion and sausage until meat is fully cooked and onions are translucent. Add spices and cook for 1 minute. Add yams, butter, salt, and pepper. Stir well. Cover with a lid and cook until sweet potatoes are tender, stirring occasionally. Serve with a fried egg on top and lima beans on the side.

*if using plain ground pork, add the following spices per 1 lbs of meat:

1 tsp ground sage

1 tsp salt

1/2 tsp pepper

1/2 tsp oregano

1/4 tsp paprika

1/8 tsp thyme

pinch of ground cloves
