Sweet Potato Hash

LifeIsGood's Note:

I love this simple sweet potato hash. It's a bit different than regular hashes because it contains spinach and no meat. If you love spinach, you may opt to add more the the 5 ounces, it's up to you! This is a really healthy side dish. I've even made this for my main course. The hardest part of this recipe is grating the sweet potatoes, but you could even put them through the grater attachment on a food processor if you have one! It serves 2 to 4 depending on if you plan this for a side or main dish. Some people like a zing to their hash, so I included hot sauce as an optional ingredient. Enjoy!

• Total Time: 25 mins
• Prep Time: 10 mins
• Cook Time: 15 mins

Ingredients:

Servings: 2

• 2 medium sweet potatoes, peeled (about 1 pound)
• 1 tablespoon olive oil
• 2 large shallots, chopped
• 1 (5 ounce) bag baby spinach, chopped
• hot sauce, to taste (optional)
• salt and pepper, to taste (optional)

Directions:

1. Grate the sweet potatoes (either with a box/hand grater or a food processor fitted with a coarse grating disc).
2. Heat the olive oil in a large non-stick skillet over medium-high heat.
3. Add the shallots and cook, stirring, until beginning to brown, about 2 or 3 minutes.
4. Add the sweet potatoes and cook, tossing occasionally, until tender, about 7 to 9 minutes more (or longer if you like your potatoes crispier).
5. Add the spinach and cook, tossing, until just wilted, about 1 or 2 minutes more.
6. Note: I like to get my sweet potatoes really browned, so I may end up cooking them a bit longer before adding the spinach.
7. Optional; add salt and/or pepper to taste. You could also add hot sauce to taste. It's up to you!
8. Enjoy!

I used small dice on the sweet potatoes instead of grating them, and also used frozen spinach for this dish. It was very colorful and tasty. I bet this would be great with wilted kale or other greens too. Thank you!

What a wonderful sweet potato recipe. Imam presently on WW right now, so I loved the addition of spinach. An added plus was it was beautiful.

I did the full recipe for 3 and still had a serve left over but we did really enjoy, would loved to have been able to add the hot sauce but with the DM that was a no no but was hoping against hope that she would eat her spinach (though I actually used silverbeat as I have an abudance of it in the garden at the moment). All over a very nice side, thank you LifeIsGood, made for Aussie/Kiwi recipe swap #61, February 2012.
