3
tablespoons walnut oil

1/8
cup freshly squeezed lemon juice

Directions
- Place all ingredients, except for the oregano, thyme, and parsley, into a large bowl in the exact order shown above, and toss with a spatula or large serving spoon until potatoes are fully coated.
- Next, heat a large (12-13″) sauté pan for about 30 seconds on medium-high heat, then reduce heat to medium, and add sweet potato mixture to the pan, evenly distributing the potatoes across the pan.
- Cook for 10 minutes, then add oregano and thyme and cook for another 10 minutes, stirring frequently. Add parsley and cook for a final 2-3 minutes, or until potatoes are tender and golden brown. Remove from heat, garnish with a few sprigs of fresh parsley, and serve immediately.
