Sweet Potatoes with Apples

Sweet Potatoes with Apples

I was looking for an easy side dish to have with duck. I ended up making a quick saute of sweet potatoes with onions and apples.  I loved it with the duck but would certainly serve it with other foods. I thought it would pair nicely with pork, too.  Here is what I did.

Sweet Potato and Apple Saute

2 T. oil or butter

1 large onion, peeled and sliced

3 small sweet potatoes, peeled and sliced about an inch thick

1/2 c. water or stock

2 apples, peeled, cored and sliced

2 T. honey

2 T. cider vinegar

salt and pepper to taste

dash of hot sauce

Heat oil or butter in skillet and add the onion. Cook until golden. Add sweet potatoes and water or stock and cook until sweet potatoes are almost tender. Add apples and cook until apples are heated through. Add honey and vinegar and cook until most of the liquid disappears. Season to taste and serve.
