Sweet Potatoes and Onions
Looking for a side dish, that takes just MINUTES to make…
These easy sweet potatoes are ready in minutes and won’t crowd your oven on busy holidays, and they are perfect for everyday dinners too.
No need to peel them, just dice them up and you’re ready to go.
This is simple and a great way to serve sweet potatoes.
This is a no-fuss side dish,
grab your skillet!
These sweet potatoes are perfect with chicken, turkey, ham, beef and I just LOVE them with a fried egg on top!
Great breakfast option with scrambled egg also.
I love when I have some leftover and can eat them with eggs for breakfast or make them up for an easy “brinner” option.
Heat your skillet, add a tablespoon of oil, then pile in the diced sweet potatoes. Cook over medium to medium high heat, turning them over occasionally to brown the cut sides of the sweet potatoes.
Then add a tablespoon or two of water and cover with a lid for the last minute or so until they are tender (but not mushy), stick a sharp knife into one of them and if it come out easily they are ready.
And they are ready to serve.
I love these sweet potatoes with black beans in tacos or taco bowls. Also great with the addition of chicken or steak. This is my favorite sauce for tacos. Give the sweet potatoes some more flavor but adding homemade taco seasoning to them!
