Ingredients:

• 1 teaspoon olive oil

• 1/2 onion finely chopped

• 1 sweet potato cut into cubes (small or medium)

• salt to taste

• 1 tablespoon bacon bits

Preparation:

• Heat the oil over medium-high heat in a skillet.

• Add the onion and cook until golden brown.

• Add the sweet potato cubes and salt, leave them on the heat for 2 minutes then stir and leave again without stirring for another 2 minutes.

• Add 1/2 cup water, stir and make sure nothing has stuck to the bottom of the skillet, cover and let the water evaporate (approximately 5 minutes).

• Uncover and stir. If the sweet potato is still firm, add another half cup of water, cover again and let the water evaporate.

• Repeat this procedure until the sweet potato reaches your preferred texture (soft).

• Once the water has evaporated, add the bacon bits, stir and leave on the heat for 2 minutes so it absorbs the bacon flavor, remove from heat and serve.
