Bacon Topped Roasted Sweet Potatoes Recipes

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 400 degrees. On a rimmed baking sheet, combine sweet potatoes, bacon, and thyme; season with salt and pepper. Roast until sweet potatoes are browned in spots and tender when pierced with a knife and bacon is crisp, about 30 minutes, stirring halfway through.

Steps:

• Put oven rack in upper third of oven and preheat oven to 450°F.
• Peel sweet potatoes, then cut each lengthwise into 6 spears. Cut spears in half crosswise if desired, then arrange in 1 layer in a large (17- by 12-inch) shallow baking pan.
• Cook bacon in a 10-inch heavy skillet over moderate heat, stirring, until browned and crisp, 10 to 15 minutes. Transfer with a slotted spoon to paper towels to drain, then pour bacon fat through a fine-mesh sieve onto potato spears and toss with 2 spatulas to coat. Sprinkle spears with 1/2 teaspoon salt and 1/4 teaspoon pepper and roast (uncovered), turning every 15 to 20 minutes, until potatoes are tender and edges are browned, 45 minutes to 1 hour. Transfer to a serving dish.
• Return bacon to cleaned skillet, then add oil and heat over moderate heat until hot but not smoking. Stir in white part of scallions and remove from heat. Stir in vinegar, water, remaining 1/2 teaspoon salt, and remaining 1/4 teaspoon pepper and pour over potato spears. Sprinkle potatoes with scallion greens and serve warm.

Steps:

• Heat oven to 400ºF.
• Combine potatoes and pineapple in large bowl. Mix remaining ingredients except bacon. Add to potato mixture; toss to coat.
• Spread onto rimmed baking sheet sprayed with cooking spray.
• Bake 45 to 50 min. or until potatoes and pineapple are tender and golden brown, turning after 30 min. Toss with bacon just before serving.

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 450 degrees F.
• Slice off the 4 long sides of each of the sweet potatoes so the potatoes are squared off and sit flat on a cutting board. Slice the potatoes lengthwise into 1/2-inch-thick planks, about 5-inches-by-2-inches (you should get 3 planks per sweet potato). Combine the sweet potatoes, olive oil and a pinch of salt in a medium bowl and toss gently to coat. Spread them out on a baking sheet and roast, flipping halfway through, until lightly browned and tender when pierced with a knife, about 15 minutes. Remove the sweet potato toasts to 2 plates.
• Meanwhile, heat a medium nonstick skillet over medium heat. Cook the bacon, stirring occasionally, until crisp and browned, 8 minutes. Remove to a paper towel. Reserve the pan, and discard all but 1 tablespoon of the bacon fat.
• Sprinkle the eggs with 1/4 teaspoon salt. Add the eggs to the pan, then immediately lower the heat and cook, stirring once and swirling the pan to cover with the egg. Let cook untouched, 1 minute, then lightly lift the eggs and swirl uncooked egg around the pan and let cook, 1 minute more. Sprinkle the cheese over the eggs, then cover and cook until the eggs are just set and cheese is melted, 30 seconds to 1 minute. Sprinkle the bacon on top of the cheese. Transfer the eggs to a cutting board and cut into 6 pieces. Divide the eggs among the toasts and top with a couple grinds of pepper. Serve immediately.

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F. Pierce the potatoes all over with a fork and place on a baking sheet. Bake until completely soft, about 45 minutes. Let cool slightly. Split the potatoes in half, scoop out the flesh into a medium bowl and set aside. Discard the skins.
• Cook the bacon in a large saucepan over medium heat, stirring, until crisp, 8 to 9 minutes. Remove with a slotted spoon to a paper towel¿lined plate. Add the bourbon or cider to the drippings in the saucepan and cook until mostly evaporated, about 30 seconds. Add the potatoes, heavy cream, butter, maple syrup and 1 1/2 teaspoons salt; mash with a potato masher until smooth and warmed through.
• Transfer the potatoes to a bowl; top with the bacon and drizzle with more maple syrup before serving.
