Ingredients

2-1/2 lbs. mixture of white and orange (yams) sweet potatoes peeled and cubed into bite-sized pieces
1 lb. fresh Italian ground sausage mild or spicy
1/2 one large yellow onion, finely diced
1 large green bell pepper, finely chopped
1 large red bell pepper, finely chopped
1 tsp. ground cumin
1 tsp. smoked paprika
1/2 tsp. table salt
1 tsp. minced fresh parsley

Instructions

Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the cubed sweet potatoes and boil for 4-5 minutes, or until they’re almost tender. Don’t overcook them, or they’ll turn to mush and lose their shape. Drain the pot and set the sweet potatoes aside.

Meanwhile, in a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat, brown the sausage and cook it through. Remove the sausage and place it on a towel-lined plate. If there isn’t enough fat left in the pan, add 1-2 teaspoons of oil (any), then add the onion and sauté for about 5 minutes.

Add the bell peppers and sauté for another 5 minutes. Stir in the cumin, smoked paprika, and salt. Gently stir in the sausage and cooked sweet potatoes to warm them up, being careful not to break up the sweet potatoes. Transfer to a serving dish and sprinkle with parsley.
