Sweet Potato Hash

Got to give credit for the idea here and here, but basically just sort of winged it this weekend.  Grating three sweet potatoes was a bit of work, but one or two would be much more manageable and still plenty of grub.  Here's my usual for a hearty breakfast for myself - scale up as needed:

1 medium sweet potato, grated
1 small-to-medium onion, chopped
1/4 pound bacon (four slices), chopped
Optional ingredients - garlic, peppers, mushrooms, anything else

First, fry up your bacon until it's just starting to crisp up.  In go the onions until they're soft and brown; add your other ingredients around here as well.  Then, drop in the sweet potatoes and mix it all up.  Cook about 10-15 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the sweet potato is cooked through.  From that point, doneness is up to you - soft, a little crusty, charred, somewhere in the middle.

Here's a nice tasteful serving of the first try, which used fancy wild boar bacon:
