I found this in the WS catalog years ago and have yet to try it. Sounds great. Ingredients:
4 lbs sweet potatoes, peeled and cubed |
2 tablespoons olive oil |
salt & freshly ground black pepper |
1 lb bacon (thick-cut) |
1 cup french chestnuts, with |
cognac, halved |
1/2 cup green onion, chopped |
Directions:
1. Preheat oven to 375°F.
2. In a large mixing bowl, toss sweet potatoes with olive oil, salt and pepper.
3. Spread potatoes out on a baking sheet in a single layer.
4. Roast, stirring occasionally and rotating the pan after about 25 minutes, until the potatoes are tender and golden around the edges, 45-50 minutes.
5. Meanwhile, in a large frying pan over medium heat, fry bacon until crisp then drain all but 2 TBS of the fat out of the pan.
6. Transfer the bacon to a plate and blot with paper towels.
7. In the remaining bacon grease add chestnuts and saute, stirring, until heated through, 2-3 minutes.
8. Return bacon to the pan along with the roasted sweet potatoes and green onions. Stir to mix, adjust seasonings and serve immediately.
