Ingredients

  • 1 ½ pounds sweet potato peeled and cut into ½-inch dice (about 4 ½ cups)
  • 8 ounces russet potato peeled and cut into ½-inch dice (about 1 ½ cups)
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 5 ounces Canadian bacon cut into ½-inch pieces
  • 2 cloves garlic minced
  • ¼ teaspoon red chile flakes
  • 1 red bell pepper cut into ½-inch dice
  • 3 green onions thinly sliced, divided
  • ½ teaspoon kosher salt
  • ½ teaspoon ground nutmeg preferably fresh

Instructions

  • Bring a large saucepan of lightly salted water to a boil over high heat. Add sweet and russet potatoes and cook until just tender, about 5 minutes. Drain.

  • Add red chile flakes, red bell pepper, and white and light green parts of green onion. Cook until red bell pepper starts to soften, about 2 minutes.
