Root Vegetable Hash image

Any root vegetables will work; use a generous 5 cups, cut into 1/2- to 3/4-inch pieces. From Washington Post Oct. 15, 2008. Gluten-free, fast, healthy. Use as a main course or side dish for roast meats. Top with poached eggs for brunch! For vegetarian version, use water instead of chicken broth and try smoked Spanish paprika in place of the bacon.
