Tips and Techniques

Try to cut your sweet potatoes into as evenly-sized pieces as possible. This will help them all cook at the same rate so that you don't end up with mushy and/or hard pieces of potato.
Cut the bacon all at once by placing it in one large stack. To do this, simply open the package of bacon and remove it all as one big piece. Then, cut through every piece, all at once, into 1/2-inch slices.
This recipe is easy to modify. Add an onion, an apple, or both to change up the flavor just a bit.
Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator. Consume within 4-5 days.
