Sweet Potatoes with Sausage and Peppers

2 large sweet potatoes, peeled and diced

1 tablespoon vegetable oil

½ pound bulk Italian sausage

2 red bell peppers, chopped

1 onion, chopped

2 cloves garlic, minced

1 (8 ounce) jar chunky salsa

1 teaspoon ground cumin

salt and pepper, to taste

Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add potatoes and cook until tender but still firm, 12 to 15 minutes. Drain and set aside.

Heat oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Crumble sausage into skillet and cook, stirring frequently, until browned and no longer pink, about 7 minutes. Remove sausage with slotted spoon and drain on paper towels.

Pour off all but 1 tablespoon oil from the skillet. Heat oil over medium heat and add bell peppers, onion and garlic and cook until softened, about 7 minutes.

Add to the skillet the potatoes, sausage, salsa and cumin. Stir and cook about 5 minutes to heat through and blend flavors. Season with salt and pepper.
