Sweet Potato Hash

Mmmmm I LOVE roasted sweet potatoes. As "sweet" as a sweet potato is, there's something to be said for the savory flavor that erupts from combining them with garlic and spices versus butter and brown sugar.

I made this hash up to go with some grilled Spinach & Asiago Chicken Sausages (Artisan Fresh brand from Sam's Club - 140 calories per sausage).

Sweet Potato Hash

2 sweet medium sweet potatoes
1/2 an onion
1/2 cup tri-pepper mix
2+ cloves of garlic, minced
1-2 tsp. onion powder
1 tsp. Cajun seasoning salt
1 tsp. Red Pepper
3 tbsp. EVOO

Warm a frying pan on high heat with the EVOO. Cube the potatoes into about 1/4 in. cubes (cooks faster in the pan). Throw the potatoes, garlic, and spices in the pan and stir/toss around to get them coated in oil. Turn the heat down to medium and cover, stirring every few minutes. After about 5 minutes, add the onions and peppers. Cover and cook (stirring occasionally) another 5ish more minutes until the largest potato cubes are cooked and soft.

Don't be afraid of the garlic! It makes it more savory! Also, I threw a dash of Worcestershire at the end to flavor it up more and added Dijon mustard to the whole shebang. Mmm mmm mmm!
