Spicy Sweet Potato Hash

I read a bunch of different recipes for hashes and some of them had you boil the potato pieces in some water for about 3 - 4 minutes before you put them in the pan with the onions and peppers to make sure they were cooked all the way.


I decided to do that, but ultimately came to the conclusion that if you chop your potatoes as small as I did, it's unnecessary. If your pieces are larger, go ahead and boil them first to make sure they are cooked all the way through, but they only need a couple minutes. They should be slightly tender but still hold their shape.


Spicy Sweet Potato Hash

Ingredients:
1 tbls vegetable oil
2 - 3 medium sweet potatoes, peeled and chopped* (See note above)
1 large onion, finely chopped
1 red pepper, finely chopped
1/4 tsp cayenne pepper (add more if you want, I have a low spice tolerance)
1/2 tsp paprika
1/2 tsp cumin
1 tsp salt
1 tsp brown sugar

Directions:
Pour the oil into a large skillet and place over high heat. Add the onion and bell pepper and saute, stirring, 2 to 3 minutes.

Add the rest of the ingredients, lower the heat to medium-high and cook, stirring occasionally, for 15 - 20 minutes, or until the potatoes are fork tender and some are browned. The potatoes will begin to stick as they cook. Just continue to turn with a spatula.
