Sweet Potato Beet Hash Melissa Darabian Recipes

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.
• Toss the cut sweet potatoes and beets with olive oil and season with salt and pepper.
• Place on a parchment-lined baking sheet and bake until vegetables are golden, about 25 to 30 minutes, stirring every 10 minutes.
• Meanwhile, in a medium skillet over medium-low heat, add the bacon pieces and render the fat until the bacon is starting to crisp (about 4 minutes).
• Add the onions to skillet and season with salt, and continue to cook until the onions start to caramelize and turn golden, and bacon is crisp (about 6-8 minutes).
• Add the roasted sweet potatoes and beets to the pan and stir to combine cooking another 5 minutes. Taste and adjust the seasoning, if necessary, and serve immediately.

Steps:

• Place the diced potatoes in a steamer above an inch of boiling water. Cover and steam for 10 minutes. Add the beet greens to the steamer, and steam for five minutes until wilted; turn them halfway through so they cook evenly. Turn off the heat underneath the steamer. With tongs, remove the greens to a bowl, and rinse them with cold water. Drain, squeeze out excess water and chop. Set the potatoes aside.
• Heat the olive oil over medium heat in a large, heavy nonstick skillet. Add the potatoes, turn the heat to medium-high, and cook, stirring from time to time, until the potatoes are lightly browned, about five minutes. Stir in the garlic, beets, greens, thyme, salt and pepper. Cook, stirring often, for another five minutes, pressing the mixture down into the pan so the edges brown. Taste, and adjust salt and pepper. Stir in the vinegar if using. Serve, topped with a poached egg if desired.
