Savory Sweet Potato Hash
This simple sweet potato hash works perfectly as a tasty addition to your morning eggs or a wintry side dish with roasted chicken.
Ingredients
- 1 large sweet potato organically grown, diced
- 1 tbsp filtered water or as needed
- to taste sea salt
- 1 tbsp beef tallow grass-fed
- 1 small white onion organically grown, diced
- 1 cup pasture-raised ham steak diced, sourced from a reputable farm
- ¼ tsp ground cinnamon
- ¼ tsp cayenne pepper
- 1 tsp raw honey or to taste, unpasteurized
- 1 tsp apple cider vinegar optional, for added flavor and gut health benefits.
Instructions
- Place sweet potato in a bowl; add filtered water and sea salt. Steam in a saucepan or steamer basket until partially softened, about 5-7 minutes; drain. Steaming helps retain more nutrients compared to microwaving.
- Heat beef tallow in a skillet over medium heat; cook and stir onion in hot tallow until slightly softened, 3 to 4 minutes.
- Stir sweet potato, ham, cinnamon, cayenne pepper, and sea salt into onion; cover skillet with a lid. Cook sweet potato mixture, stirring occasionally, until sweet potatoes are cooked through, about 10 minutes; drizzle with raw honey and apple cider vinegar (if using). Cook and stir until honey is evenly distributed, 1 to 2 more minutes.
Notes
Recipe Tip: If the mixture begins to stick to the skillet, add a few tablespoons of filtered water. Using beef tallow provides healthy fats and a richer flavor compared to olive oil. Sourcing ingredients from organic and regenerative farms ensures minimal exposure to pesticides and herbicides like glyphosate.
