Yummy Bacon 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:

• 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.

Steps:

• In a large pan, add the butter and olive oil. Heat on medium or medium low heat.
• Add onions to the pan.
• Saute onions until mostly caramelized. Low heat is better since you want the onions to caramelize and not burn.
• While the onions are caramelizing, poke holes in yams. Place on plate with a little water. Bake them in the microwave until a fork can be poked into them easily and they're firm but not hard, roughly 20 minutes. Let the yams cool enough that you can handle them. Slice them. They may break apart. That's okay!
• When the onions are mostly caramelized, remove from pan and dice.
• Add the uncooked bacon into the hot pan.
• After the bacon is thoroughly cooked, add the onions, yams, and brown sugar. Heat through until the sugar is dissolved and everything is combined. Add salt to taste.
• Enjoy!
