Sweet Potato Breakfast

Sweet Potato Breakfast 

Ingredients: 

3 large sweet potatoes (about 3 lbs), skin on, diced into ¼ to ½-inch cubes
3 large onions, halved and thinly sliced
2 tablespoons coconut oil (or butter)
4 tablespoons olive oil
2 ½ teaspoons fine grain salt, divided
2 teaspoons fresh rosemary
Pinch of fresh ground black pepper
4 free-range organic eggs

Directions: 

Preheat oven to 450°F (230°C) and place a rack in the middle. Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper and set aside.
Melt the butter in a large skillet over medium-high heat.
Add onion and 1 teaspoon of salt and lower the heat. Cook, stirring every now and then, until onions are soft and golden brown, about 20 to 30 minutes.
In the meantime, in a large bowl toss diced sweet potatoes with the olive oil, 1 ½ teaspoons of salt, smoked paprika, a pinch of ground black pepper, and chopped rosemary.
When the caramelized onions are done, stir them into the sweet potatoes.
Spread mixture in one layer on the lined baking sheet, and roast in the oven for 30 to 40 minutes, stirring at least a couple of times, until the sweet potatoes are soft and browned.
Let the hash cool and store it in a covered container (or Ziploc bag) in the refrigerator up to 5 days.
To serve, heat the oven to 425°F (220°C).
Spread hash in a thin layer in a baking dish or a cast iron skillet (alternatively, you can bake the hash in individual ramekins) and crack in the eggs.
Season with salt and pepper and bake in the hot oven for 10 to 20 minutes, until the eggs are done to your preference.

CHEESY BACON AND EGG HASH

CHEESY BACON AND EGG HASH

Ingridents: 

• 24 oz | 700 g potatoes (about 4 medium-sized), scrubbed clean and peeled
• 2 tablespoons olive oil (or coconut oil)
• 7 oz | 200 g diced bacon (trimmed of fat)
• 2 scallions or spring onions (shallots), trimmed and finely sliced
• 4 large eggs
• ¼ cup shredded mozzarella cheese (or cheddar)
• Cracked pepper to season

Directions: 

1. Dice potatoes into small ¾-inch cubes.

Stove Top:

1. Heat the oil in a large cast iron skillet or pan over medium heat. Fry the potatoes in the hot oil and cook while stirring occasionally, until golden and crispy (about 20 minutes). To speed up cooking time, cover pan with a lid, checking the potatoes every 4-5 minutes or so to stir them (this takes about 15 minutes).
2. Add the bacon pieces to the pan and fry while stirring occasionally for 10 minutes until crisp. The potatoes will be golden with crisp edges, while soft on the inside. Add the spring onions; stir them through and season with pepper (optional). The bacon releases some oil by this stage to cook your eggs!
3. Using a wooden spoon or spatula, make four wells in the hash, crack an egg into each well and arrange the mozzarella around each egg. Fry until the whites are set and the eggs are cooked to your liking. Serve immediately! (Don't leave the hash in the pan or the eggs will continue cooking in the heat of the skillet).

Oven Method:

1. Preheat oven to 400°F | 200°C. Arrange the potatoes in a single layer in a cast iron skillet or oven proof pan (or baking sheet). Spray with a light coating of cooking oil spray and bake for about 30 minutes, mixing them around halfway through cook time, until they are crisp and golden. Remove from oven, add the bacon, and place back into the oven for a further 10 minutes or until the bacon is crispy. Remove from oven, make four wells in the hash, crack an egg into each well and arrange the mozzarella around each egg. Place skillet (or pan) back into the oven until the whites are set and the eggs are cooked to your liking. Serve immediately!

Samoan Coconut Rolls

Samoan Coconut Rolls

(Homemade Rolls )

• In a small bowl combine:
• 2 Tbsp yeast
• 1 Tbsp sugar
• 1 cup warm water
In a large bowl combine:
• 2 cups scalded milk (microwave for 3 min,)
• 1 cup butter
• 1 Tbsp salt
• 1 cup sugar
• 2 eggs
You will also need:
• 8 to 10 cups of flour

Instructions

• Beat the ingredients in the large bowl with an electric mixer for 1 minute. Add the yeast mixture in the small bowl. Stir in the 8 to 10 cups of flour 1 cup at a time. You will know you have enough flour when the dough pulls away from the sides of the bowl, it should still be sticky. Pour some more flour onto a flat clean surface and knead into a soft dough, adding flour as needed.
• Cover the dough and let it rest for 10 minutes.
• Knead again then place into a bowl sprayed with cooking spray. Cover and raise for 1 hour.
• Punch down the dough and let raise 10 more minutes.
• Roll out dough, and break off sections to form into small rolls. They should be about half the size you would like your finished roll to be. 
• Place rolls in a pan or cookie sheet and raise again for about 15 to 20 minutes. They shouldn't be touching before raising, but should be after raising.
• Bake at 375 degrees for 10 to 12 minutes.

• Ingredients: 12-20 frozen dinner rolls, depending on size (see note above for homemade rolls), 1 (10 oz.) can coconut mil, 1 c. sugar

Instructions

• Coat a 9x13 glass baking dish with cooking spray and arrange rolls evenly to thaw (if doing homemade rolls, roll dough into golf-ball size balls and arrange the same way).
• Cover with plastic wrap sprayed with cooking spray (to keep dough from sticking to the plastic wrap). 
• Allow to rise until doubled in size. 
• Pre-heat oven to 350-degrees.
• In a bowl, combine coconut milk and sugar and whisk until sugar is dissolved.
• Pour about 2/3 of the coconut mixture over the rolls and bake for 20-30 minutes (or according to package/dough recipe instructions) or until golden brown and dough is baked through.
• Remove from oven and pour remaining coconut mixture evenly over the top of the rolls.
• The rolls should be sticky and gooey on the bottom (read notes above). Can be served upside down or right-side up.
