So first off, I have to admit, I didn’t make up this recipe; it’s from Real Simple. But I wanted to share with everyone since it’s paleo-friendly and just so good! Sean and I have broiled the pork in the oven before, and it works great, but we found that it does take much longer than the recipe says it does (it took us ~30 min to get the internal temp to read 145-deg). Recently we acquired the “Big Easy Infrared Oil-less Turkey Fryer” (and yes, it’s as awesome as it sounds), so in the picture you see we cooked the pork in our new infrared “grill”. And by “we” I mean Sean, he’s the grill-master

My job was to take care of the sweet potato hash. The recipe has you grate the potatoes and cook it in oil, but when we tried that in the past the hash always got too mushy; it never got crispy like it looks in Real Simple’s picture. So instead of grating the potatoes I cooked them in the microwave until tender and then cut them into cubes. I cooked the shallots and then added some grass-fed butter to the skillet to help give the sweet potatoes some nice color and crisp.

I love this hash. It reminds me of a healthier paleo-friendly version of the homemade hash my parents used to cook me, my sister and brother on Saturday mornings (with pancakes and eggs of course)!

ps – Our favorite hot sauce to douse this in is Texas Pete. Usually we are fans of Frank’s Red Hot, but the hint of sweetness in the Texas Pete really adds something special…
