Anthony Anderson s Sweet Potato Home Fries with Cranberry Hazelnut Crumble

Drescription

These home fries are made with sweet potatoes, which are rich in fiber as well as vitamin A, a nutrient which can help support a healthy immune system. Actor Anthony Anderson likes sprinkling a cranberry-hazelnut crumble on top for an easy but delicious upgrade.

Ingredients

• 1 1/4 pounds sweet potatoes, cubed (1/2-inch)
• 1 teaspoon extra-virgin olive oil plus 1 tablespoon, divided
• 2 1/2 tablespoons chopped hazelnuts, toasted (see tip)
• 2 tablespoons dried cranberries
• 1/8 teaspoon salt plus 1/4 teaspoon, divided
• 1/8 teaspoon ground pepper

Directions

1. Place sweet potatoes in a large saucepan and add water to cover. Bring to a boil over high heat. Reduce heat to a simmer and cook until almost tender, 6 to 8 minutes. Drain and pat dry with paper towels.
2. Meanwhile, combine 1 teaspoon oil, hazelnuts, cranberries, 1/8 teaspoon salt and pepper in a small bowl.
3. Heat the remaining 1 tablespoon oil in a large cast-iron skillet over medium-high heat until it shimmers. Add the sweet potatoes and sprinkle with the remaining 1/4 teaspoon salt. Cook for 3 minutes without stirring, then stir and cook, stirring frequently, until crispy, about 5 minutes more. Transfer to a serving bowl and sprinkle with the cranberry-hazelnut mixture.
