Sweet Potato Hashbrowns

(Taken from foodnetwork.com's Emeril Lagasse)

Ingredients

• 1/2 pound diced bacon
• 1 cup chopped onions
• Salt and pepper
• 1 tablespoon chopped garlic
• 2 pounds sweet potatoes or yams, peeled and grated (or chunked in some way as we did)

Directions

In a large skillet, render the bacon until crispy, about 8 minutes. Add the onions. Saute the onions until soft, about 2 minutes. Add the garlic and sweet potatoes. Season with salt and pepper. Saute for about 10 to 15 minutes. Remove from the heat and serve warm.

Note: This made quite a bit for the two of us, but leftovers tasted great the day after!
