Sweet potatoes and bacon are two of my favorite foods, as in I could eat them every day if I had to….and sometimes I do. I know, I know variety is the spice of life but if you stranded me on an island with only 3 food choices I would have to pick:
1. Bacon
2. Sweet Potatoes (Garnet Yams are my favorite to be specific)
3. Eggs (or maybe more bacon…)
Since I normally have sweet potatoes in the house and because I am pretty active, as in cannot sit still for more than 5 seconds, I needed to come up with a new way to use the beautiful orange starch of nature.
The idea came upon me when some friends from my gym wanted to have a meatza cook-off…that is a pizza with a meat crust…google it, you will not be disappointed. I, of course, wanted to be unique so I decided to top my pizza with this sweet potato hash, see how versatile it is?
You can eat this as is, add it to your eggs, or top your meatza with it. Hope this recipe makes you happy and fills your stomach with many vitamins and minerals 🙂
If you feel so inclined tell me what your 3 MUST HAVE foods would be if you were stranded on an island!

This sounds (and looks) really good!! Great recipe! I definitely want to try it whenever I decide to start adding more carbs back into my diet… I do miss a good sweet potato. 😉
My 3 must have foods on a dessert island would have to be bacon, eggs, & coconut butter.
Eggs, broccoli and winter squash ( don’t make me choose a specific kind)
Most recently…the three foods I refuse to live without…coconut (in its myriad forms), milk, and baconavocadosweetpotatosalmon. Sorry, I failed at that assignment.
That looks so delicious! I’m going to try it. I couldn’t live without red pepper.
Hmmm… Good question! Probably eggs, arugula and raisins 🙂 🙂
oh yum good choices!
I love it! I would have to choose the same 3 foods. Honestly. Thanks for the recipe!
