Fried Sweet Potatoes

Total time: 35 minutes
   Incredibly easy, faster than the more traditional sweet potato methods of baking or drenching in something sweet; simple frying lets the wonderful flavor shine.  A bit of oil added to the butter helps prevent burning.

 Ingredients:

• 1 - 2 sweet potatoes, (14oz, 420gr)
• 2 tsp butter
• 1 tsp olive oil
• 1/2 tsp thyme
• salt and pepper

 Instructions:

• Peeling the potatoes is optional but not necessary.  Cut the potatoes: slice the long way, first in half, then in half again.  Now slice (the short way) about 1/4 inch thick. 
• Heat oil and butter in large nonstick skillet. 
• Add potatoes and sauté until tender and a little crispy, stirring and flipping as needed. 
• Sprinkle with thyme, salt, pepper and serve.
