Instead of cooking the potatoes the stove top, I roasted them which made things even easier. And adding crumbled bacon on top at the end was a great decision since we’re big fans of sweet and savory flavor combinations in our house. (If you’re not a bacon lover, you could easily omit this part of the recipe.)

Mmmm, bacon and sweet potatoes – what more could a girl want???
I love baking sweet potatoes! We always have roasted sweet potatoes several times a week in our house!
This is so simple and yet I bet it’s soooo tasty! Yum!
Mhmm these look and sound delicious! I love roasting sweet potatoes and the sweet/salty combo drives me wild. SO GOOD.
I’ve always paired bacon with a baked potato (russet) never a sweet – genius!!
I love how the sweetness of sweet potato works so well with the saltiness of bacon. This looks like a fab side dish. My OH would love it. I love SP and bacon in a frittata together. http://www.theroadtolesscake.com/2014/05/sweet-potato-and-bacon-frittata.html
HOLY COW – those look yummy. Sweet potatoes really are the best.
I’m so making this, this week! So simple and looks delish!
Hope you love it!
Good gravy that looks amazing! I know what tater I’m adding to my shopping list!
I’ve never met a sweet potato dish I didn’t like!
I love sweet potatoes! I think they are so sweet, you don’t even need the honey! And “if you’re not a bacon lover”… then you’re crazy 😉 Everything is better with bacon!
Yum! I’m not a huge bacon fan but I LOVE sweet potatoes. It sounds like it would taste just as good with no bacon! I may have to give it a try. 🙂
I want all of this minus the bacon. Yum!
You could definitely leave out the bacon and it would still be yummy!
This sounds amazing!
Yum! I need to make this. It looks and sounds sooo good 🙂
I love sweet potatoes! I usually sauté mine with olive oil and pumpkin pie spice, but I’ve used cinnamon and nutmeg too. I have never tried it with bacon though…you’re a genius 🙂
How can you NOT be a bacon lover?! It’s the best 🙂 I made sweet potatoes like this last night, but did salt/pepper/cinnamon and mixed with Quinoa and chicken sausage. Amazinggggggg
Sounds absolutely delicious! I’ve been back on one of my sweet potato kicks, so this is PERFECT! I think I’m going to try grilling the sweet potatoes!
That recipe sounds delicious. I love the sweet/savory combination of flavors, so I’d definitely be putting in the bacon!
Yummm! We love roasting sweet potatoes! I’ve never thought to add bacon though!
Sweet potatoes and cinnamon…so yummy!
Adding this recipe to my “meals” to make during student teaching this fall!
Delicious! I love roasted sweet potatoes. Savory and sweet are a perfect pairing!
I like how this recipe is so simple! I love sweet potatoes!
Oh man, I am drilling over the thought of this sweet and salty combo!
Drooling ** definitively not drilling haha.
I’ve got two sweet potatoes at home right now that need to be cooked… this might be the ticket!
Perfect timing! 🙂
Two of my favorite foods, yum!
Yum!!! I love roasted sweet potatoes! I am going to try this with turkey bacon!
I love making sweet potatoes and bacon…or adding bacon to, well, any vegetables (especially Brussels sprouts!).
Yum those sweet potatoes sound delicious! Thanks for sharing.
Roasted sweet potatoes have become a recent obsession of mine. I cube them up and season them with season-all, cumin, and chili powder. SO good! They remind me a lot of the Alexia Spicy Sweet Potato Fries.
Craving some sweet potatoes!! I feel like some maple syrup would be appropriate here too!! 😉
I made these last night and they were delicious!! I used turkey bacon and even though it wasn’t as crunchy, it was so savory. My picky boyfriend loved them. I put a little too much honey, but with a little extra bacon it balanced out.
Yay!!
