These Fried Sweet Potatoes consist of sweet potatoes, yellow bell peppers, garlic, and avocados with salt, pepper, cumin, and coriander.
Equipment
- Skillet w/ a lid (preferably cast iron)
- Stovetop
Ingredients
- 1 sweet potato diced
- 1 yellow bell pepper diced
- 1 clove garlic minced
- dash salt
- dash pepper
- dash cumin
- dash coriander
- 1 avocado sliced
Instructions
- Preheat a skillet on medium with a splash of olive oil.I use a cast iron skillet and don't need a lot of oil. Particularly because sweet potatoes don't absorb as much oil as other types of potatoes do. If you're using another type of skillet, you might need more oil. I like to start with a very thin layer, just enough to cover the skillet, and then add more as needed while cooking.
- Meanwhile, dice the sweet potato and bell pepper.I cut the sweet potatoes into 6 slices, like a pizza. This is how I end up with triangles. But you can chop them however you like.
- Add sweet potato and bell pepper to skillet. Stir to coat with oil. Cook covered for about 15-20 minutes, or until tender and lightly browned. Making sure to stir frequently.If it browns too quickly, add more oil and lower the temperature. If it doesn't brown quickly enough, increase the heat.
- Once cooked, add salt, pepper, cumin, and coriander to taste.
- Top with freshly sliced avocados and serve immediately.
