Collard Green Sweet Potato Hash

Recipe provided by Chef Mille Peartree of @chefmilliepeartree

Nothing says Southern Thanksgiving like collard greens and sweet potatoes. It’s an easy to prepare, slow cooked dish that can be made in abundance and upcycled later. Thanksgiving will be a bit different this year and it may be hard to predict which recipes to make because our gatherings may be smaller. I would say make all of your favorites without letting any food go to waste! I came up with a delicious recipe to upcycle any leftover collard greens and sweet potatoes into a delicious hash that is perfect as a main dish with eggs or a side dish that can be eaten for breakfast, lunch, or dinner.

I love using the Morton® Fine Himalayan Pink Salt because the crystals dissolve quickly and blend easily, giving an even flavor in each and every bite. I top off the recipe with Morton® Coarse Himalayan Pink Salt to add both a pop of flavor and fun pink color.
