Breakfast might be my favorite meal of the day when I actually have time to prepare the good stuff. I can never decide what is actually best, eggs, pancakes, waffles, french toast, omelets, the list is endless. So I tend to eat them all. I love them all equally, but eggs usually means potatoes....(and bacon). These are the perfect addition to breakfast or brunch. I make them a lot ahead of time and eat them with some fruit when I'm on the go or to go with a quick scrambled egg. And hey, I would never think twice about eating them with chicken or a steak with dinner either.

Here's what ya need:

Sweet potatoes, salt, pepper, garlic, onions, coconut oil

Step One: Bake your sweet potatoes. I usually do this whenever my oven is on. Two or three at a time to have on hand, because really who has the time to bake one at a time for lunch or breakfast? Maybe for dinner there is time, but certainly not for any other meal or snack. Anyway, just wash them, poke some holes in them, put them on foil and bake them till they are about 5 min from being done. When you touch them, they should have the slightest give. This will take about 35-40 minutes at 350 degrees. This way when you reheat them to make your hash, or just a baked sweet potato, they won't become mush. No one wants mush.

Step Two: Allow them to completely cool or pull them out of the fridge. Cut into small squares. Also cut a medium sized onion, about one cup for two medium sweet potatoes.

Step Three: Heat oil hot in your pan, then add your sweet potatoes turning to coat all potatoes in the oil you heated so nicely.

Step Four: Season, sprinkle your salt, pepper and garlic onto the potatoes. Use as much as your like, I gave you some guidelines, but you can add more salt and less pepper if you like or more salt and less garlic. Whatever you feel, go for it.

Step Five: Cook about 5 minutes then add your onions, and cook till you see the beautiful brown marks marrying your sweet potatoes. This takes some time, about 10 min, just stir occasionally. But this is why they are so good. You're not burning them, you are simply caramelizing the sugar coming out of the potato, and it is delicious. And that's it folks. Enjoy!

The recipe:

2 medium sweet potatoes

1 medium onion

1/4 tsp garlic powder

1/4 tsp salt

1/4 tsp pepper

1 1/2 tbs coconut oil

The extras:

* You can use canola oil, if you don't have coconut oil.

* You can omit the onion if you don't like onions, or add more if you love onions.

* This can be a breakfast side dish, but can really be made any time of the day.

* If you are reheating them, I suggest to throw them in a fry pan on the stove. You won't have to add any oil, it will just crisp them back up.

*If you like some heat, or want to switch it up a little bit, try adding a jalapeño or a chili pepper. The seeds inside the peppers are optional.

* This will serve 2 people, although you can stretch it to 3 depending on the size of your sweet potatoes.
