To begin, heat a large skillet over medium-high heat and then add either butter or olive oil. If you are including meat, cook the meat initially and once fully cooked, transfer it to a plate.
Add the sweet potatoes to the pan and toss in oil. Season generously with salt and pepper. Next, add the onions and toss quickly. Sauté and stir for about 5 minutes, until the potatoes have lightly browned and the onions soften. Meanwhile, chop the vegetables and add to the pan and stir.Â
If using, include beans or cooked meat. Add your preferred seasonings. Cook for a few more minutes. Reduce the heat to medium-low. Pour in a bit of water or chicken broth and cover with a lid to complete the cooking process. Potatoes and vegetables will be tender when ready.
