Spicy Sweet Potato Hash

Ok, so an improvised use-whatever-is-in-the-house vegie hash is not exactly haute cuisine, but this was so surprisingly delicious that I had to record it so I do it exactly the same way next time.



Spicy Sweet Potato Hash

1 sweet potato, diced into 1/2"ish cubes
1 small onion, diced
1/2 can black beans, drained of the gooey grossness
kale, chopped, a few big handfuls (it will reduce a lot when it cooks)
lots of regular chili powder
few dashes chipotle chili powder
moderate amount of cumin
moderate amount of cinnamon
salt & pepper
chopped cilantro/parsley
sour cream

Heat up just a little bit of oil in a nonstick skillet or preferable a cast-iron. Start the potatoes cooking on medium until they start to soften up (NOT fully done). Add the onions, turn up the heat, and cook for a few minutes until things start to get browned. add the black beans, kale, spices, and salt & pepper and cook until you've got a nice dark char on the potatoes, tasting and adjusting spices. at the last minute, stir in some cilantro (or parsley, for those unfortunate genetically challenged individuals for whom cilantro tastes like soap). Top with sour cream and enjoy!
