sweet potato hash w/ adobo and fried tomatoes

sweet potato hash w/ adobo

I'd like to say congrats to Lauren at Keep it Sweet for winning the two cookbooks by warren brown. Lauren had said her favorite cake was "I think my favorite cake is a classic moist chocolate cake with perfect buttercream frosting". Well Lauren you're going to love these cookbooks; awesome, informative instructions on how to make really good show-worthy cakes. Enjoy. And please share with us what you make! I know I'm dying to know!



So it's really hard to do a post after those fabulous chocolate ganache donuts with salty pistachios. I mean how can you compete with that? Well, let me see if I can try.
Sweet potato hash I know I've made before for you, but had to share another version that I enjoyed so much so that I know you'll love it too. I actually make sweet potato hash a lot, in various ways: stuffed in a burrito with cheese and rice, under eggs, over french toast, in soup, oh the list is endless because it is so versatile and tasty.
If you're a heat-junkie like me then you will love this hash. I adore adobo's--it was the perfect pairing to put them in a "sweet" potato hash.
How have you made hash before? Any favorites?

sweet potato hash with adobo
print recipe

2-3 sweet potatoes, chopped into 1-inch cubes
EV olive oil
A few TB’s of butter
salt & pepper
¼ - ½ cup caramelized onions
Worcestershire sauce
1 – 3 chopped adobo chile peppers in sauce, minced (these are hot so use caution)

Caramelize some onions (about 1 giant sweet yellow onion) after it's done caramelizing add a few drops of the Worcestershire sauce, set aside.
Heat up same skillet (don’t clean it) with some EVOO and fry up the sweet potatoes until nice & crispy, season with salt and pepper. Towards the end of cooking add a few tablespoons of butter to the skillet to melt into the hash. Then add in a few dashes of Worcestershire sauce, mix until combined. Then add in the chopped/minced adobo. Stir, then serve with eggs and fried tomatoes.

fried tomatoes

2 – 3 med size tomatoes, sliced thick, set on paper towels to dry up moisture
1/4 - 1/2 cup Flour
2-3 TB cornstarch
few dashes Old bay seasoning
2 - 3 TB cornmeal
Salt & pepper
EVOO and butter for frying up tomatoes

In a flat bowl mix all the dry ingredients. Heat up same skillet you used for the sweet potatoes (no need to clean it as it has great seasoning still left in it). Melt up some butter and EVOO. Dredge the tomatoes in the dry mixture and fry them up until brown & crispy on both sides.

Mmm, I love any recipe containing sweet potatoes, and the Southerner in me loves a good fried tomato. Another brilliant combo. I really want to come to your house for breakfast someday. :)

This sounds so good!

This is a beautiful thing! I've never had sweet potato hash before, or any hash for that matter. Chile peppers in adobo is an awesome thing. Looks delicious!

Oh my gosh this sounds so good, and easy! Beautiful presentation!

Thanks again, I am so excited about the cookbooks!

Joanne said...

I've actually never done a sweet potato hash before even though I adore sweet potatoes almost as much as I'll probably adore my first born child. Though that is yet to be seen.

These sound delicious!

At the risk of sounding like a weirdo, I am really not a doughnut person. Your did look gorgeous but I would have no trouble saying no. Sweet potato hash, with lots of heat, I would eat all day long if you let me. Looks awesome!
