Ingredients
  • 3 sweet potatoes
  • 3 bell peppers
  • 3 small sweet onions
  • ½ red onion
  • 1 package hot dogs (I prefer Applegateor another no-nitrate brand)
  • garlic powder, salt & pepper, to taste
  • olive oil
Instructions
  1. Cut and prep all vegetables: wash and cube the sweet potatoes; cube or roughly slice the peppers; slice the onions. Slice the hot dogs, but set them aside until later.
  2. Heat 1-2 tablespoons of olive oil in a very large skillet over medium-high heat. Once oil is shimmering, turn down to medium, and add peppers and onions. Cook until the onions turn translucent, about 5 minutes.
  3. Drizzle an additional 2-3 tablespoons of olive oil in the skillet; add the sweet potatoes and mix well. Cover and cook over medium/medium-low, stirring occasionally until the potatoes are fork tender, about 30-35 minutes. If you don't have a cover for your skillet, drape aluminum foil over the top to contain some of the heat. If the potatoes start to stick to the bottom of the skillet and burn, you can use a little chicken stock to deglaze the pan.
  4. Once the potatoes are cooked, season with garlic powder, salt and pepper, and mix well. Add in sliced hot dogs, and cook an additional 5 minutes until everything is cooked through.
  5. Serve immediately with ketchup, bbq sauce or your condiment of choice. Leftovers can be refrigerated for 4-5 days.
Notes / Variations
This meal is very versatile, so feel free to substitute whatever you have on hand. Sausages (pork or chicken) can be used instead of hot dogs; russet potatoes instead of sweet potatoes. Or use all of the above!

I recommend using a 12-inch or larger skillet for this meal - it makes a lot of food! I always use my favorite 14-inch Cuisinart stainless steel skillet. It doesn't come with a lid, so I've purchased this All Clad Universal Lid to use with it - the 15" size works like a charm.
