Paleo Sweet Potato and Sausage Hash

1 lb ground pork sausage
3 sweet potatoes cubed
3 tbsp coconut oil or butter
Cinnamon
Optional: add veggies like bell peppers, onions, carrots, etc. Or you could leave out the veggies and throw in an apple.

Throw everything in a skillet, stirring often, let the potatoes cook until they are soft on the inside and a little crispy on the outside, about 10 minutes but could take much longer depending on how big you cut up the sweet potatoes.  Add a TON of cinnamon and serve.
