Sweet Potato with Bacon

This savory and sweet side dish pairs well with chicken, duck, pork or turkey dinner. But would go equally well on your breakfast or brunch plate! 

Ingredients:

4 slices bacon, chopped

1 large sweet potato, diced

sprinkle of cinnamon

2 tbsps maple syrup

vegetable oil

Cook the bacon in a non-stick skillet on medium heat, then remove to a plate. Reserve 2 tbsps of bacon fat in the skillet. If you don't have enough fat then top it up with vegetable oil.

Add the diced sweet potato to the pan and sprinkle with cinnamon. Toss together and cook 10 minutes.

Stir occasionally but let them sit a bit to brown nicely on the sides. After 10 minutes cover the skillet and cook another 4 or 5 minutes or until tender.

Return the bacon to the pan and add the maple syrup.

Serves 2 (but truthfully, I ate it all myself!! 😃🐷)
