To prepare a sweet potato bacon and veggie skillet recipe, you'll need: Sweet potato: Peel and cut the sweet potatoes into small cubes. Bacon: Cut the bacon into thin strips and add to the skillet. Cook on medium-high heat, stirring occasionally, until bacon is crisp and crisp-tender, about 5 minutes. Vegetables: Chop the carrots, celery, onions, and potatoes. Toss with the vegetable mixture. Bake in the oven, uncovered, for 20 to 25 minutes, or until vegetables are heated through. Serve with sour cream.
