Ingredients
- 1 cup onion, finely chopped
- 3 large sweet potatoes, peeled and cut into 1 inch cubes
- 3 large russet potatoes, peeled and cut into 1 inch cubes
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon ground black pepper
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 tablespoons butter
- 2 tablespoons parsley, finely chopped
- 1 tablespoon thyme leaves
- 1/4 teaspoon nutmeg, ground
- 1 cup water
Instructions
- In a very large skillet, over medium heat, add the olive oil, butter, and onions. Cook the onion for just 2-3 minutes.
- Add the garlic and cook for 2 more minutes.
- Next, add the sweet potato and the russet potato. (Sweet potato will cook a little faster than the russets, but it's okay to add them both at the same time when preparing a hash recipe.) Add the salt and ground black pepper. Toss to combine.
- Add 1/2 cup of the water and continue to cook for 20 minutes, stirring occasionally.
- Add the remaining water, stir to combine and distribute, and cook for another 20 minutes. Taste to see if the potatoes are fork tender and turning into a mash/hash.
- Add the thyme leaves, parsley, and nutmeg. Stir to combine. Taste for seasoning and adjust if needed. Remove from heat and serve.
