hIngredients:
- 2 large sweet potatoes, peeled and chopped into 1" cubes

- 1 small white onion, chopped
- 1 small yellow bell pepper, chopped
- 1 small green bell pepper, chopped
- 3 Tbsp. bacon fat, lard or tallow (if needed)
- 1/4 tsp. sea salt (or more to taste)
- 1/8 tsp. ground black pepper (or more to taste)
- 1/8 tsp. paprika

Equipment:

- Cutting board
- Chef knife
- Measuring spoons
- Large saucepan
- Large skillet

Directions:
1. Fill a large saucepan about 2/3 full of water and bring to a boil. Add the sweet potatoes and lightly boil for 8 minutes or until tender. Drain and allow set aside.
2. Place a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the bacon to the pan and cook until crispy. Remove the bacon from the pan and place on a paper towel lined plate to dry, keeping any bacon drippings in the pan. Add the chopped onion and bell peppers to the pan and saute for 3 minutes.
3. Add the additional bacon fat or tallow to the pan (if needed) and allow to heat for 1 minute.
