Description

Spicy and comforting thanks to BBQ sauce, jalapeno, and chicken bacon, this sweet potato hash is a quick and easy side dish that's sure to please.

Ingredients

2 strips uncured chicken bacon
2 medium sweet potatoes, cubed
1 tablespoon olive oil, or more as needed
1 large jalapeno pepper, finely chopped
1 1/2 tablespoons BBQ sauce
1 teaspoon garlic powder
1 pinch ground dried chipotle pepper
salt and ground black pepper to taste

Directions

1 Place bacon in a large skillet and cook over medium-high heat, turning occasionally, until evenly browned, about 5 minutes. Drain on paper towels and crumble when cool enough to handle.
2 While the bacon cooks, put the cubed sweet potatoes in a microwave-safe bowl and microwave on high power for 5 minutes.
3 Heat a large skillet over medium heat. Add olive oil, then add sweet potatoes, garlic powder, chipotle powder, salt, and black pepper. Cook until potatoes are brown and crisp, 5 to 7 minutes. Add bacon, jalapeno, and BBQ sauce and cook over low heat, 2 to 3 minutes more.
