Salt and pepper them and allow them to lightly char, remove from pan. Add 2 more Tablespoons of bacon drippings and smoked olive oil to now empty pan. Add sweet potato cubes, toss to coat. Add 1/2 tsp salt and 1/4 tsp black pepper. Peel charred skin from poblano pepper and coarsely chop. Coarsely chop charred onion. When sweet potatoes begin to take on a golden color, add poblano, onion, smoked paprika and ancho chile powder. It may be necessary to add final Tablespoon of bacon drippings to keep the pan from getting to dry. Continue to cook until potatoes have a nice golden brown crust. Taste for seasoning and garnish with green onions and parsley. *Add bacon drippings as necessary to keep the pan lubricated, you may not need all 4 Tablespoons. **If you do not have smoked olive oil just add a little more smoked paprika to taste.

• In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the garlic, onions and peppers and cook until soft, about 5 minutes. Add the diced sweet potatoes and some salt and pepper; continue to cook, stirring occasionally, until the potatoes are cooked through, 10 to 15 minutes. Turn the heat to low and stir in the spinach.
• Melt the butter in a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat and fry the eggs until the whites are set and the yolks are still runny. Spoon the hash onto four plates and top each serving with a fried egg. Garnish with basil and Parmesan.
