Sweet Potato Hash

Sometimes I just need my diner food fix and what satisfies that better than a hash? 
 Even better, without all the unnecessary calories.
Even, even better, a healthy hash that's totally guilt free!

Health benefits of Sweet Potatoes...

- High in vitamin B6, C, and D
- Great source of magnesium which is necessary for healthy artery, bone, blood, heart, muscle, and nerve function
- Rich in carotenoids which strengthen eyesight, boost immunity, ward off cancer, and protect against effects of aging

And that's only to name a few.
