Overnight Sweet Potato, Spinach, and Bacon Breakfast Casserole
Overnight Sweet Potato, Spinach, and Bacon Breakfast Casserole recipe shared by Nikki from MyNutriCounter. Potato originates in South America, where Peruvian Inca Indians started to cultivate it around 8,000 B.C. to 5,000 B.C. Later, following the discovery of the modern day America by Christopher Columbus, the Spanish and Portuguese galleons brought the potato over to the Old World. Conquistadors named these white root tubers the batata or patata. Europeans then re-introduced the potato back into the northern part of America in the late 1600s, but surprisingly it only became a popular crop by the middle of the following century due to Scotch-Irish immigrants settling in New England. Now, the potato is the world’s fourth largest food crop, following rice, wheat and maize. It’s boiled, fried, steamed, sautéed, used in pancakes, soups and savoury puddings. Due to this versatility, potatoes are consumed more than any other vegetable in the world.
