Instructions
Wash and dry the sweet potatoes. Cut them into 1/4” thick round-ish slices.
Place a large non-stick pan over medium heat.
Add the olive oil, salt, and sweet potatoes to the hot pan.
Spread the potatoes evenly in the pan and allow them to cook. (No stacking; one layer only.)
Stir occasionally until the sweet potatoes are lightly caramelized. This should take about 15 minutes but cook times do vary.
Cook them until they are tender and golden. Test with the tine of a fork.
Note: Cook times will vary based upon the thickness of the slices and the temperature.)
Notes
Garnish after cooking as desired with seasonings, crumbled bacon or butter and syrup.
