Ingredients:

  • 1 lb sweet potatoes, peeled and diced small
  • 6 oz Granny Smith apple, peeled and diced
  • 4 oz yellow onion, finely diced
  • 2 tbsp unsalted butter
  • 1 tbsp olive oil
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1/2 tsp ground cinnamon
  • 1/4 tsp smoked paprika
  • 1/2 tsp kosher salt
  • 1/4 tsp cracked black pepper

Instructions:

  1. Dice the sweet potatoes and apples into consistent 1/4-inch cubes and set them aside in separate bowls.
  2. Heat the olive oil and butter in a 12-inch cast iron skillet over medium-high heat until the butter foams.
  3. Add the sweet potatoes in a single layer and let them sit undisturbed for 4–5 minutes to create a mahogany-colored crust.
  4. Stir in the diced onions and cook for 3 minutes until translucent.
  5. Add the diced apples and minced garlic, lower the heat to medium, and cook for 5–7 minutes, stirring only every few minutes.
  6. Sprinkle cinnamon, smoked paprika, salt, and pepper evenly over the mixture, toss gently, and remove from heat immediately.
