I’d been craving sweet potato fries and was looking online for some new recipes to try. I ended up finding this recipe for Sweet Potato Home Fries on my iPhone via the Food Network Canada app. There’s a ton of recipes on there! This one has only three ingredients: bacon, sweet potatoes and green onions. It’s made entirely on the stove top and the potatoes are cooked in the bacon drippings giving it so much flavour.
Next time, I think I will cut the sweet potatoes into smaller cubes so they will cook faster. The bigger pieces took longer to cook and I was starving and didn’t want to wait that long!
Sweet Potato Home Fries
- 6 slices of bacon, sliced into small pieces
- 2 sweet potatoes, unpeeled and chopped into 1 inch chunks
- salt & pepper to taste
- 4 green onions, thinly sliced
1. Heat a saute pan over medium high heat and add the bacon. Saute until crispy. Remove from pan.
2. Add the sweet potatoes to the same pan. Brown them on all sides until tender (about 15 minutes or so).
3. Toss in bacon, chives and salt & pepper.

OMG these look so good ! I love sweet potatoes candied, baked, french fry , But I dont think I ever ate them this way. Surprised I never thought of doing it. The bacon grease I always save for when I fry potatoes any way so I sure am going to try them this way. Better get to the store.
thanks for the yummy idea
I have always preferred sweet potatoes to regular white. These look super yummy, and they are so much better for you than regular fries!

This looks so good! I love sweet potatoes.I’ve never cooked them with bacon before. I’ll have to try this. Thanks =D
I love sweet potato fries and your reipe looks delicious.
I never liked sweet potatoes as a child. As an adult I never made them or ordered in a restaurant until my niece opened a neighborhood restaurant and put a huge plate of had sweet potato fries on the table. Of course I had to try at least one right ? well…they were delicious and I glommed my way through a good many of them. I still don’t make them at home because I don’t have a deep fryer, however these seem simple enough and the bacon fat is always a plus. I will definitely try this recipe. Thanks
