Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Can I use a different type of potato instead of sweet potatoes?
A: Yes, you can substitute sweet potatoes with regular potatoes, such as Yukon Gold or red potatoes. However, keep in mind that regular potatoes may not have the natural sweetness of sweet potatoes, so you might want to add a pinch of sugar or honey to balance the flavors.
Q: What can I use as a substitute for kale?
A: If you don't have kale, you can substitute it with other leafy greens, such as spinach, Swiss chard, or collard greens. Keep in mind that cooking times may vary depending on the type of green you use. Spinach wilts faster and would only require about a minute of cooking.
Q: Can I make this dish vegan?
A: Yes! To make the dish vegan, replace the Greek yogurt with a non-dairy yogurt alternative like coconut or almond yogurt. Ensure the non-dairy yogurt is plain or unsweetened for the best flavor.
Q: How should I store leftovers, and how long will they keep?
A: Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. To reheat, warm the sweet potato hash and kale in a skillet over medium heat, and serve with the lemon yogurt sauce on the side.
Q: Why are my sweet potatoes undercooked?
A: If your sweet potatoes are still undercooked after the given cooking time, it could be due to the skillet not being hot enough or the dice size being too large. Ensure the skillet is preheated and the sweet potatoes are evenly diced into 1/2-inch cubes for even cooking.
Q: Can I prepare any components of this recipe ahead of time?
A: Yes, you can dice the sweet potatoes and mix them with the spices in advance. You can also de-stem and chop the kale, and prepare the lemon yogurt sauce up to 24 hours ahead. Store the prepared components separately in airtight containers in the refrigerator.
Q: What can I serve with this dish to make it a more complete meal?
A: This dish pairs well with a fried or poached egg on top for added protein, or serve it alongside grilled chicken or roasted chickpeas for a heartier meal. It also works well as a side to a protein-rich main dish.
