Ingredients :
- 8 ounces bacon finely chopped
- 1 medium onion diced
- 1 medium red bell pepper stemmed, seeded, and diced
- 2 pounds sweet potatoes peeled and chopped into 1-inch cubes
- 1 teaspoon chopped fresh thyme
- Salt and freshly ground black pepper
Directions :
- In a large skillet over medium heat, fry bacon until crisp, about 5 minutes. Using a slotted spoon, transfer bacon to a napkin-lined plate. Leave bacon fat in the skillet (or reserve a few tablespoons for cooking eggs if desired).
- Add onion and red pepper. Cook until softened, stirring occasionally, about 5 minutes.
- Stir in sweet potatoes, ½ teaspoon salt, and ¼ teaspoon pepper. Cover and cook, stirring occasionally, until softened and the sweet potatoes begin to brown, about 10 to 15 minutes.
- Stir in bacon and thyme to skillet and season to taste with salt and pepper. Serve with grilled bread and fried eggs if desired.
