The Amazing Sweet Potato
Sweet potatoes are not only healthy but they are very tasty as well. They have a long shelf life and are a healthier alternative to regular white potatoes. If you are like me sweet potatoes are a staple item in my home. I used them to make desserts like sweet potato pie or sweet potato casserole. I also use them to make breakfast like this sweet potato hast. Sweet potatoes can also be used as a side dish or the main course as in sweet potato fries or baked sweet potatoes. The versatility is not the only amazing thing about sweet potatoes. Sweet potatoes are also very nutritious and offer many health benefits. Check out the blog post-Health Benefits of Sweet potatoes.

Directions
Place 6 cups of water in a large pot, (salt the water to taste, optional) cover pot, and bring to a simmer.
While waiting for the pot to simmer. Wash, peel, and dice sweet potatoes. Add sweet potatoes to a pot of water and turn the burner to low, return the cover to the pot.
Peel and wash onion and bell pepper and dice then add to skillet. Add two tablespoons of cooking oil. Turn the burner on medium heat.
Drain water from sweet potatoes and add sweet potatoes to the onion and bell pepper mixture, (Salt to taste optional), pepper to taste. Optional cayenne pepper can be added if a more spicy dish is desired.
Cover skillet and cook for an additional 10-15 minutes flipping and stirring occasionally.
Once the Potatoes are tender, I remove the lid. Turn burner to low. Do not stir for flip sweet potatoes. Cook an additional 2-4 minutes, this allows for a nice, caramelized crust to develop on the sweet potatoes and onions which I love.
Serve warm as is or pair with your favorite protein of choice. This dish is not only great for breakfast or brunch can be a side dish for dinner.
