Sweet Potato Hash

Author Notes: We cook this in our iron skillet on the grill. It allows the sweet potato to break apart and essentially become like a sweet potato mash without a ton of butter - just a great deal of flavor. You can also do this in the oven starting temp at approximately 450. The iron skillet is critical as it locks in the flavor and adds a great deal of moisture so that the potatoes require little butter/oil. - arik

Allow potatoes to cook. After 20-30 minutes, begin to stir the potatoes. They will begin to fall apart and start to become mashed. Allow potatoes to cook for another 10-15 minutes.
