Maple Glazed Sweet Potatoes with Bacon and Caramelized Onions image

I made this for Thanksgiving dinner and my family went crazy over it. It is simple, looks great on the table and has already been requested for Christmas dinner! This recipe can be adjusted as you like by adding more or less bacon and onions.

Provided by Chris B

Categories     Side Dish     Vegetables     Sweet Potatoes

Time 1h35m

Yield 12

Number Of Ingredients 8

4 pounds sweet potatoes, peeled and cut in 1-inch chunks
2 tablespoons olive oil
1 teaspoon salt
½ teaspoon ground black pepper
5 slices smoked bacon, chopped
1 pound onions, thinly sliced
1 cup pure maple syrup
2 teaspoons fresh thyme

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 425 degrees F (220 degrees C). Toss the sweet potato chunks, olive oil, salt, and black pepper in a large bowl, and spread the sweet potatoes out onto a large rimmed baking sheet.
  • Roast in the preheated oven until browned and tender, about 40 minutes; stir after the first 20 minutes.
  • Cook the bacon until crisp and brown in a large skillet over medium heat, about 10 minutes; transfer bacon to a bowl, but leave the grease in the skillet. Cook the onions in the bacon grease until browned, about 10 minutes, stirring frequently. Reduce heat to low, and cook the onions until very soft, brown, and sweet, another 10 to 15 minutes. Stir often. Mix the onions with the bacon in the bowl, and set aside.
  • Pour the maple syrup into the hot skillet with the thyme, and bring to a rolling boil. Boil the syrup until reduced by half, 3 to 4 minutes. Place the roasted sweet potatoes and onion-bacon mixture into the skillet, and stir to coat the vegetables with maple glaze. Transfer to a serving dish.

SWEET POTATO AND CARAMELIZED ONION HASH WITH BAKED EGGS



Sweet Potato and Caramelized Onion Hash with Baked Eggs image

Prep the savory hash and refrigerate in individual ramekins for a quick and easy breakfast; just top with an egg and bake.

Provided by Sara Kate Gillingham

Categories     Egg     Onion     Side     Sweet Potato/Yam     Fall

Number Of Ingredients 10

2 tbsp unsalted butter
2 to 3 large yellow onions (about 2 lb), halved, thinly sliced, then halved again
Kosher salt
freshly ground black pepper
3 large sweet potatoes (about 3 lb), skin intact, chopped into 1/4"-1/2" cubes
1/4 cup olive oil
1 1/2 tsp smoked paprika
2 tbsp (packed) finely minced fresh rosemary or oregano leaves
4 to 6 large eggs
shaved Parmesan, for serving (optional)

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 450°. Line a large baking sheet with foil or parchment paper.
  • Melt butter in a cast-iron or other heavy skillet over medium-high heat. When it foams, add onions and sprinkle lightly with salt and pepper. (Don't worry if they are crammed into the pan; they will rapidly cook down.) Lower heat slightly and cook, stirring occasionally (reduce heat further if they seem to be burning), until dark brown, about 20-30 minutes.
  • Meanwhile, toss sweet potatoes, oil, 1 1/2 tsp salt, smoked paprika, a generous helping of black pepper, and minced rosemary or oregano in a large bowl. Stir in onions.
  • Spread sweet potato mixture on prepared baking sheet and roast for 25-40 minutes, stirring every 10-15 minutes, until sweet potatoes are soft and browned.
  • Reduce oven temperature to 425°. Spread a relatively thin layer of the cooked sweet potato hash in individual ramekins, a cast-iron skillet, or a 9" x 13" baking dish.
  • Make small wells in the hash and crack in the eggs. Sprinkle lightly with salt and pepper. Bake for 10-20 minutes, or until hash is hot and eggs are baked to your preference. Test the eggs by prodding them with a fork to check the firmness of the white and the runniness of the yolk.
  • Serve immediately, with Parmesan, if desired.

SWEET POTATOES WITH CARAMELIZED ONION



Sweet Potatoes With Caramelized Onion image

I fail to remember where this recipe first appeared but chances are it was from Canadian Living magazine. This simple dish is much richer than you would expect and pairs well with grilled meats especially lamb and pork. Since sweet potatoes are very moist, adjust the amount of sour cream or milk to your taste. I do recall that the original recipe recommended placing the sweet potatoes and onion mixture in a food processor until blended. I found this method too gluey and altered it as stated.

Provided by Highland Lass

Categories     Yam/Sweet Potato

Time 1h40m

Yield 4-6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 8

1/4 cup olive oil
1 large Spanish onion, thinly sliced
2 tablespoons fresh thyme leaves
3 large sweet potatoes
2 tablespoons butter
1/4 cup low-fat sour cream (Carnation low fat works very well) or 1/4 cup milk (Carnation low fat works very well)
salt
fresh ground pepper

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 400º.
  • Heat olive oil in frying pan at medium heat and add onion. Sauté until rings separate. Reduce heat to medium low and continue cooking uncovered, until onions are soft and caramelized at least 30 minutes or more, stirring occasionally.
  • Meanwhile, prick whole potatoes with skins on and bake in roasting pan for 40 minutes or until soft. When cool enough to handle peel skins from potatoes and set aside.
  • When onions are soft add thyme, salt and pepper to taste and mix well. At this point you can either place the onions in a food processor and pulse until they are slightly chunky or chop with a sharp knife.
  • Heat a medium sized pot and add butter. Add the sweet potatoes and mash with a fork or potato masher. Add the sour cream or milk a little at a time then add the onion mixture. Blend with a wooden spoon until fully incorporated and adjust S & P to taste.
