Ingredients
- 1 very large sweet potato* or 2 medium ones, peeled and diced - about 2 cups diced
- 1 large pink lady or granny smith apple diced (peeling optional)
- 2 tbsp + 2 tsp ghee or coconut oil - separated
- 1/2 tsp fine grain sea salt
- 1/4-1/2 tsp ground cinnamon
- 1 tsp organic coconut sugar** - optional omit for Whole30
Instructions
-
Heat a large, seasoned cast iron pan (or any heavy skillet that won't stick) over medium heat and add 2 tbsp of the ghee*
-
Once the pan is heated, add the diced sweet potatoes and sprinkle evenly with the sea salt and stir/toss to coat the potatoes cooking fat and salt.
-
Cover the pan, using any cover that is large enough, for about 2 minutes. Uncover and stir, lower the heat a bit if the potatoes are starting to brown too much. Recover and cook for another 2-4 minutes until the potatoes are soft.
-
Uncover the pan and continue to cook, stirring, until the potatoes are light brown all over.
-
Add the diced apples plus the 2 tsp ghee and stir to combine. If adding the coconut sugar*, do this now.
-
Cook over medium heat, stirring occasionally, for another 5 minutes or until the apples and potatoes are brown. Adjust the heat of your stovetop as necessary to avoid burning.
-
Once apples and potatoes are toasty, remove from heat and stir in the cinnamon. Let cool a bit and then serve warm. Enjoy!
Recipe Notes
*I used a Japanese sweet potato with purple skin and white flesh on the inside and their texture is more like a white potato, the flavor is mildly sweet. These are great, but you can use whatever sweet potato you like!
**Completely optional (it will be sweet without), omit to keep this recipe Whole30 compliant.
