Chipotle Sweet Potato Hash with crispy bacon and eggs

...OR the most popular breakfast in our house.  Smoky chipotle sweet potato hash, crispy bacon topped with a couple of eggs over easy. Yum! I find that the chipotle powder is key in this dish. If you like things spicy, you can also add a dash of cayenne too. Learn from my mistakes and make sure you taste the chipotle powder first...Sometimes, depending on the peppers, I guess...it is spicier than other times. I had bought a new batch and hadn't tasted iand t almost burned my parents and sister's esophagus' ( I had also added cayenne pepper). LOL. So, taste and adjust according to heat preference.

What you will need...

5-6 strips of bacon, chopped 

1 small onion

2 small or 1 large sweet potatoe, peeled and grated (will feed 2-3 adults)

1/2 tsp of chipotle chili powder (if you don't have it you can use regular chili powder but the chipotle adds a lot of depth and a wonderful smoky flavour)

1 tsp of smoked paprika

1 tsp of cumin

2-4 eggs (depending on how many eggs a person wants)

In a large heavy bottom frying pan crisp up the  bacon, remove from pan and set aside. Remove all but a tbsp of bacon grease. If you choose you can remove all of it and sub in with coconut, olive or grape seed oil. We like to use the bacon fat goodness :)

Add in your chopped onions and all your dry spices, and fry for a minute or two.

Add your bacon and cook until onions soften, 3 min.

Add in your grated sweet potatoes and season with salt.

Cook over medium heat until sweet potato is cooked, about 5-7 minutes.

Make little nests for your eggs. The most I can fit in my pan is 4 eggs.  Gently crack your eggs in each nest. If you are making this for a larger crowd, then feel free to cook the eggs in a separate pan.

Cook the eggs to preference. I usually cover mine with a lid for a for 2 min or so, until the egg white is almost cooked through and then stick them under the broiler for a minute or so. We like our egg yolks runny (over easy consistency).

Enjoy!
