A handful of mushrooms, sliced (Cremini, Chanterelles, baby Portabella, etc.)
Heat a big skillet with the coconut oil/ghee until it is a medium heat. Add sliced onions, garlic and mushrooms to the skillet. Cook until they are soft, then turn down the heat to a low heat.
While these are cooking, cube up your sweet potatoes. Coat them with a little bit of oil of choice then add the Chicory Cacao Rub to the potatoes. Mix them well so each cube has some spice on them.
Let them sit for about 5-10 minutes.
Add the mushrooms to the onion and garlic blend and turn the heat back up to medium heat. Let cook for a few more minutes.
Add cubed potatoes to the skillet and let cook on medium heat for about 5-10 minutes. Then add the lid and lid cook on low heat until soft. Approximately 20 minutes.
Once the potatoes are nice and soft you can sprinkle a few green onions on top or add a poached or fried egg to the top.
