Ingredients

Sweet Potato and Fennel Hash
4 ounces bacon, cut into 1-inch pieces
½ large yellow onion, chopped
½ bulb fennel, chopped
1 sweet potato, cut into small cubes
½ jalapeno pepper, seeded and minced
¼ cup whiskey (such as Jack Daniel's®)
¼ cup brown sugar
salt and ground black pepper to taste

Directions

Sweet Potato and Fennel Hash

Step 1

Place bacon in a large skillet and cook over medium-high heat until evenly browned, about 10 minutes. Remove bacon from skillet with slotted spoon to a plate lined with paper towel, retaining drippings in the skillet.

Step 2

Reduce heat to medium. Cook and stir onion and fennel in hot bacon drippings until golden brown, about 10 minutes. Add sweet potato, place a cover on the skillet, and cook until sweet potato is tender and slightly browned, about 10 minutes.

Step 3

Increase heat to medium-high. Pour whiskey into the skillet and bring to a boil while scraping the browned bits of food off of the bottom of the pan with a wooden spoon. Stir bacon in the vegetable mixture. Add brown sugar and stir to incorporate. Reduce heat to medium; cook and stir until the whiskey has been absorbed and the liquid is caramel-colored, about 5 minutes. Season with salt and pepper.
