Paleo Sweet Potato Hash With Bacon

Start to Finish: 30 minutes

Ingredients:

1 tablespoon grass-fed ghee, divided
2 cups sweet potato (about 2 large whole potatoes), peeled and diced into 1/2-inch cubes
3 cups Brussels sprouts, halved with outer leaves removed
6 strips pastured bacon, cut into thick chunks
2-3 sprigs each fresh rosemary and thyme
Fresh parsley leaves to garnish
2 pastured eggs (optional)

Instructions:

Heat a wide saucepan on medium heat. Add 3/4 tablespoons of the ghee to the pan.
Add diced sweet potato and half of the rosemary and thyme to the pan.
Lightly brown the sweet potato all over. Add a splash of water to the pan and cover. Steam for 8 minutes.
Remove the lid and add bacon pieces to the pan. Crisp bacon for 3 minutes.
Add halved Brussels sprouts and remaining herbs.
Cook the mixture until softened, about 5 minutes.
Plate hash with remaining ghee to top.
Cook eggs as desired, if using. I cooked mine sunny side up with yolks just set.
Transfer the eggs to the plate and scatter the parsley. Season to taste with salt and serve.
