Instructions
Clean sweet potatoes leaving skin on. Place in a large pot and cover with water. Boil potatoes for about 20 minutes until tender.
Preheat oven to 450 degrees.
Remove potatoes from water, slice into thick rounds (about 1/2 inch) and place on a greased baking sheet.
Using a fork, gently smash the tops of the potatoes.
Drizzle the potato rounds with olive oil and season liberally with salt and pepper.
Place potatoes in the oven for 20-22 minutes until the edges are crispy and starting to turn golden brown.
While potatoes cook, combine the avocados, lime juice, garlic, jalapeno and cilantro in a small bowl. Mash together until smooth.
Chop the bacon into 1/2 inch pieces and set aside.
Remove the potatoes from the oven, top with a spoonful of the guacamole and a piece of bacon.
Serve warm.
