Greek Sweet Potato Breakfast Hash

Greek Sweet Potato Breakfast Hash (low-amine, gluten-free, soy-free, dairy-free, nut-free, paleo), served with Black Bean Dip Quesadillas.

Sweet potato is lower in amines, and has more nutrients available to us than regular potatoes. It also makes a mean breakfast hash, and is as simple to use as regular potatoes. This recipe has a bit of a citrus kick to it from the ascorbic acid, which, with the ground beef or lamb, gives it a slightly Greek feel.

2 C sweet potato, diced

1 1/2 C carrot, diced

1 C ground beef or lamb

1 1/2 C leeks, sliced thin, white parts only

2 Tbsp butter or butter substitute

1 Tbsp cumin, ground

2 packed Tbsp parsley

1 Tbsp garlic powder

1/2 tsp ascorbic acid

1/2 tsp salt

Heat a large saute pan to medium heat.
Add ground beef or lamb. Cook until mostly done and drain fat.
Add 2 Tbsp butter, then add sweet potato, leek, and parsley. Cover, and stir occasionally.
Cook for about 5 minutes, then add carrot and all remaining ingredients.

Cook uncovered while stirring often to prevent sticking. Cook until all ingredients are tender, to taste.
Serve hot with low-amine tomato-free ketchup substitute
To add protein, I made black bean dip quesadillas (black bean dip spread on tortillas, sprinkled with salt, and heated in a pan).
