Sweet Potato Hash

Sweet Potato Hash

Sweet Potatoes are one of my favorite Southern staples. The sweet, melt in your mouth texture is heaven on plate. It is just an added bonus that they're so good for you. Ideally for a hash you would make a uniform cubed dice. I wasn't thinking that far ahead when I went into the zone and started chopping away at my potatoes, but the taste was still divine. Perfection not needed.
