  • 一个好的、灵活的配方我利用你所拥有的n the fridge! I made some adjustments and want to share one that may be helpful - I used two skillets. I was pretty sure after the onions and bell peppers were covering the bottom of the first pan, that the potatoes were not going to cook quickly OR brown the way I wanted them to if I just added them, so I employed a second skillet for that part. I put a few of the potatoes in with the onions - enough so that most of those had contact with the pan's surface, and then the second skillet for the rest. I left the potatoes to sit for a while unmoved until lightly browned on one side, then flipped them all over and tossed around. When they were almost tender, I deglazed both pans with a little vegetable broth. When they were all done, I consolidated into one pan over low heat while I finished the rest of the breakfast. Used plenty of salt and pepper! Husband loved this with fried eggs - I don't eat eggs, but I did enjoy it just as much as-is. Oh - one more thing. I only peeled about half the sweet potato. I peeled it in strips, but did not remove it all. It had stripes of skin still on it. I liked the happy medium of some-peeled/some-not, and will do it that way again! Conserves potato and preserves nutrients, while keeping the desired texture.

  • Great, easy side dish. Cooking for two, I used just one sweet potato and one Idaho, which had the added benefit of lowering the sugar content. Cut the amount of other ingredients by about half, substituted 1/2 green pepper for the jalapeno. Tasty!

  • Didn't have a jalapeno or any Yukon Golds. Used just sweet potatoes and added an extra red pepper. Substituted safflower oil for the olive oil. Turned out awesome! Will definitely add to my list of "do."
