How do you make hash in 30 minutes?

There are two tricks to perfect hash in record time.

First, opt for High Protein Tofu which also operates under the name Super Firm Tofu. Whatever the name, it is always stored in a vacuum sealed bag and not in water. This tofu has a nice firm texture right outta the bag and does not need to be pressed, saving us valuable time in the kitchen!

The second tip is all about getting those sweet potatoes cooked in record time! Anyone else been there - craving a irresistibly sweet and savory, perfectly cooked, melt in your mouth sweet potato? But without the HOUR it takes to cook it? Boy have I ever!

And this recipe sidesteps that problem! Instead of an hour long roast, the sweet potatoes are cooked in the pan in boiling water until tender. We add in just the right amount of water so the last of the water evaporates just as the sweet potatoes are finished cooking. That's some one pan wonder magic.
