Ingredients

1-2 Sweet Potatoes skin on, sliced into 1/2" rounds
1 medium Red Onion sliced thin
6 Bacon Slices sliced into 1" pieces
1/2 cup Ricotta can sub cream cheese
2 oz. Goat Cheese
1 Tbsp Olive Oil
Sea Salt & Pepper
Optional- 1-2 Sprigs Fresh Rosemary

Instructions

Preheat the oven to 400 degrees.
Using a sharp knife or a mandolin, slice the sweet potato into 1/2" thick rounds. Place on a baking sheet and drizzle with the olive oil, sea salt, pepper, and a few tsp of minced fresh rosemary. Toss on the pan so everything is evenly coated and then lay the potatoes out so they are flat and not overlapping. Bake for 20-25 minutes.
While the potatoes are roasting, cook the bacon for about 5 minutes. Add in the onion and cook the mixture (stirring occasionally) on medium-low heat so the onions cook down and the bacon gets fairly crispy.
In a small bowl combine the goat cheese and ricotta. Season with a little salt and pepper and set aside.
To assemble, place a small spoonful (a few tsp) of the cheese mixture over the top of the potato. Using tongs, place a tbsp of the bacon onion mixture over the top of the cheese. Garnish with rosemary if desired.
