I appreciate you so much!
Instead of the traditional white potatoes usually used in a breakfast hash, this recipe makes use of sweet potatoes. These beautiful orange spuds are great for the digestion — they soothe both diarrhea and constipation. They are also good for your skin and they can help our body to get rid of excess water. They contain vitamins B, C and D and also iron and magnesium and much better than white potatoes. If you really want to make this hash vegetarian, you can omit the bacon and cook the vegetables in two tablespoons canola oil. Use less red pepper flakes if you don't like spicy. A largecast iron skillet is the best choice to cook a hash because it has a non-stick surface and conducts heat wellwhich will help the potatoes brown beautifully. While cooking, please keep in mind that don’t be tempted to constantlystir the potatoes. Stirring at intervals and leaving the pan undisturbed in between stirs can make the potatoes creat good color and flavor. And covering the pan for a few minutes up front helps the potatoes to cook almost all the way through.
You can add the baby spinach at the end of the cooking process because the heat of pan will wilt and cook the spinach.The flavors bursting out of this dish are absolutely incredible! You just cost your 30 minutes at most to cook and you’ll feel like you’re in breakfast heaven! If possible, I hope that you can try this recipe in your kitchen! It must be your good choice that you will not regret!
