Yam Celery Root Bacon Hash Recipes

GARNET YAM, BACON, AND APPLE HASH

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.
• In a large bowl, add the yams, drizzle with olive oil, and sprinkle with salt. Toss to coat and arrange them on a baking sheet. Roast the yams until they are soft but not mushy, 10 to 15 minutes. Remove from the oven and reserve.
• Coat a large saute pan with olive oil. Add the bacon and put the pan over medium heat. When the bacon has started to get crispy and brown, add the onions, season with salt, and saute until the onions are very soft and aromatic. Add the apples and the scallion whites and saute for 3 to 4 minutes. Stir in the yams and saute until they are cooked through and starting to become crispy, 7 to 8 minutes.
• Transfer to a serving platter and garnish with the scallion greens and pumpkin seeds.
• Fantastico!

CELERY ROOT HASH

Steps:

• Cook celery root, sweet potatoes, thyme, bay leaf, chicken broth, oil, and cayenne pepper in a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat, tossing occasionally, until vegetables are just beginning to soften and liquid is evaporated, 15-20 minutes. Add onion and garlic; season with salt and black pepper and cook, tossing often and scraping up any browned bits, until vegetables are tender, 30-35 minutes. Remove thyme and bay leaf and toss in bacon. Serve topped with chives.

YAM, CELERY ROOT & BACON HASH

Steps:

• Fill a pot with water, that is large enough to hold your yam without crowding.
• Add a dash of salt. Bring to a boil, then add your chopped yams. Cover and cook for 12 to 15 minutes, or until your yams are tender. They don't have to be all the way cooked through, as they will cook more when you saute them. Once they are cooked, drain them in a colander. Try to drain as much liquid as possible.
• In a large saute pan, cook your bacon pieces until crispy. Use a slotted spoon and remove the cooked bacon and set aside.
• Using the remaining bacon grease to saute your onions. Cook for about 5 minutes, until translucent. Then add your celeriac. Cook celeriac until soft. Celeriac is a thirsty vegetable and will absorb the bacon grease. If it absorbs too much of the bacon fat, then add some ghee to the pan, so the hash doesn't burn.
• Once the celeriac is soft, add yams and garlic and cook until yams brown slightly. Generously season the hash with salt and pepper and gently mix in the smoked paprika and bacon.
• Top with chopped parsley and serve!
