The picture seems to show corn in the dish. Can you tell me how much you added?. Was it frozen or canned?
Yes! I did throw some corn in there, to try and make up to my husband for the sweet potatoes. I didn't measure them, I just threw some frozen kernels into the pot while it was cooking. Maybe 1/2 a cup? Start there, and you can always add more if you want more!
That looks SO tasty. I am a huge fan of hash, as well as of sweet potatoes, so you kinda had me from the get go… But YUM!! 🙂
