I love to buy a bunch of kale and then see what it turns into as the week rolls along. Kale lasts a fairly long time in the fridge and I find that I either sauté it with bacon or add it to soups. This time I had a couple of sweet potatoes laying around so I decided to make it a one pot dinner. It was good but I'm modifying the recipe to include the missing pieces to make it great!

Kale and Sweet Potato Sauté
2 medium sweet potatoes
1/2 Tbs olive oil
2 thick slices of bacon
1/2 Cup thinly sliced red onion (or sweet onion)
3 cloves garlic, minced

Thoroughly rinse the kale and tear into shreds, discarding tough stems, rinse and set aside. Finely dice sweet potatoes (1/4" thick) and set aside.
Add oil and bacon to a skillet and heat over medium heat until bacon is crispy. Remove bacon to a paper towel to drain. Sauté onion and sweet potatoes in skillet with bacon grease for 5-8 minutes, until potatoes begin to soften. Add 2 1/2 Tbs water and continue to cook in covered frying pan 3-4 min, until soft. Add kale and cover pan with lid to cook for 3 min. Stir and continue to cook until kale is wilted and tender. Add salt and pepper to taste.
Serve topped with crumbled bacon, avocado slices, and a fried egg, if desired.
