Salt and pepper
2 avocados
Juice of 1/2 a lime
1 clove garlic, minced
1/2 jalapeño, minced
1/4 cup cilantro, chopped

Directions
- Clean sweet potatoes, leaving skin on. Place in a large pot and cover with water. Boil potatoes for about 20 minutes, until tender.

- Drizzle the potato rounds with olive oil and season liberally with salt and pepper.
- Place potatoes in the oven for 20 to 22 minutes, until the edges are crispy and starting to turn golden brown.
- While potatoes cook, combine the avocados, lime juice, garlic, jalapeño, 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, and top with a spoonful of the guacamole and a piece of bacon.
