Easy Peasy Sweet Potato Hash

I never understood how some people ruin the natural taste of certain foods. Take for example the sweet potatoes. Besides turning it into a pie as a holiday dessert which I actually love to make and eat, the most common way to cook sweet potatoes during the holidays is peeling, boiling until soft, mash with butter & milk, then laid in a baking pan, topped with marshmallows then baked until the top is a little brown. Some actually even add brown sugar.

I really don’t understand that. I would like the aforementioned dish, minus marshmallows. Sweet potatoes are naturally sweet. Why add more marshmallows and brown sugar? Sure you add sugar when you turn it into a pie but you only really need 1 cup and since it’s a dessert pie, it’s kind of a given that it is sweet. But if it’s a side dish like the regular mashed potatoes, the marshmallows on top are unnecessary. Well, that’s just my preference of course .

Sweet Potato Hash is one of the natural ways to enjoy sweet potatoes.

INGREDIENTS :

• 3-4 sweet potatoes, washed and peeled
• 3 tbsp of butter
• 1 tsp of paprika
• sale and pepper to taste

 

Wash the sweet potatoes really well. Peel and slice in cubes.

In a pan (non-stick is most ideal), melt 2 tbsp of butter in medium heat. Add the cubed sweet potatoes. Stir, and let it cook until soft. Stir  a few times in between cooking.

Add the last tbsp of butter if necessary. Season with paprika,  salt , and pepper. Mix everything together. VOILA!

It’s just like making a basic regular potato hash for breakfast. Don’t worry about the slight burnt on the bottom. It’s a little crunchiness which makes it even more delish.

This is so simple but of so good. I made this as a starch side for dinner and ate the leftover for snacks. It is very very very delicious.
