We love appetizers and snacks that are just out of the norm, but still easy to create, with simple ingredients, yet packed with flavor. Plus, we love bacon, and bacon makes everyone happy, so we should all absolutely eat more of it! Bacon for all! Just look at how the mashed sweet potatoes billow over the edges of the crispy bacon.
this recipe Making the mashed sweet potato bacon cups
There are really just a couple of steps. Cube your sweet potatoes and boil them until tender. Then whip up the mashed sweet potatoes with some butter or ghee, garlic and rosemary. I prefer to use a hand masher so some chunks remain. Next up, create these little cups of heaven by lining a muffin tin with bacon, and fill up the little bacon cups with your mashed sweet potatoes. Bake them up until the bacon is crispy, and voila!
