2 whole Sweet Potatoes, Peeled And Cubed
1 whole Jalapeno, Seeds Removed And Diced
3 strips Bacon, Chopped
1/4 cups Heavy Cream
7 Tablespoons Unsalted Butter, Divided
1/4 teaspoons Salt
1/8 teaspoons Freshly Ground Pepper
1/8 teaspoons Cayenne Pepper
1/2 cups Chopped Walnuts
1/4 cups Panko Bread Crumbs
1 whole Green Onion, Sliced Thin

1
Preheat the oven to 375 F.
2
In a saucepan, cover the sweet potatoes with just enough water to submerge. Boil until tender, about 30 minutes.
3
Meanwhile, combine the jalapeno and bacon in a skillet over medium-low heat. Cook until bacon is starting to crisp, but not ultra crispy. Remove the bacon/pepper mixture from the pan and set it on a plate. Discard the fat that remains in the skillet.
4
Once the potatoes have finished, drain off the water, transfer them to a medium-sized bowl and mash with a fork. Add the cream, 6 tablespoons of butter, salt, pepper and cayenne. Stir to combine with a heavy wooden spoon. Fold in the the bacon mixture along with the walnuts.
5
Transfer to two medium-sized ramekins and top with the bread crumbs. Thinly slice your remaining tablespoon of butter. Lay the butter on top of the bread crumbs.
6
Bake for 30-35 minutes or until the crumble has browned on top. Garnish with green onion and serve!
