Allergen-Free Autumn Sweet Potato Hash

A Top 8 Allergen-Free Brunch Favorite for the Fall...Or All Year Round!

As Thanksgiving and the holidays approach, family gatherings become more frequent. Dining together is always a challenge - to find something that everyone will enjoy but also keeps my kids safe with all their different food allergies.

This special favorite in our home is courtesy of my brother-in-law, who specially created it for my son! We love having it on special occasions, especially during the Fall and holiday season. It not only looks the part for the Fall, but has just the perfect blend of salty and sweet, and satisfies the palate of the extended family and all our guests, including those who don't have food allergies!

Enjoy!
