Sausage Potato Hash
Description
The Sausage Potato Hash begins by cooking peeled, cubed potatoes in olive oil seasoned with salt and pepper until they are halfway cooked and lightly browned. Adding chopped onion softens the mix further, followed by Italian sausage (mild or spicy), chopped red and green bell peppers, minced garlic, and red pepper flakes to build layers of flavor and aroma. The mixture simmers on lower heat until the potatoes finish cooking and develop some crisp edges.
This hash offers a balanced combination of textures—soft yet slightly crispy potatoes, tender sausage, and tender-crisp diced peppers and onions. The garlic and red pepper flakes add warmth and subtle heat without overpowering the dish. It can be served hot directly from the skillet with fried eggs to complement the savory, hearty profile.
The recipe allows for variations in sausage type and potato variety; Yukon Gold or russet work well. Covering the skillet can speed cooking by trapping heat and moisture. It's a practical dish for using leftover ingredients or making a filling breakfast or meal.
Ingredients
- 2 tablespoon olive oil
- 3 large potato peeled and cubed
- ½ teaspoon salt or to taste
- ¼ teaspoon black pepper or to taste
- 1 small onion chopped
- ¾ pound Italian sausage mild, casings removed (3 links)
- ½ red bell pepper chopped
- ½ green bell pepper chopped
- 3 cloves garlic minced
- ¼ teaspoon red pepper flakes
Instructions
- Add the olive oil to a large skillet and heat over medium heat. Add the cubed potatoes, season with salt and pepper and cook for 7 to 10 minutes, until they're about half way cooked through, stirring occasionally.
- Add the onion and cook for another 3 minutes, stirring occasionally.
- Add the sausage, bell peppers, garlic and red pepper flakes to the skillet and stir. Reduce the heat, and continue cooking until potatoes are cooked through, another 10 minutes. You can also cover the skillet, this will cook the potatoes a bit faster.
- Taste for seasoning and adjust with salt and pepper if needed. Serve with fried eggs.
Notes
- Use mild or spicy Italian sausage depending on your preferred heat level.
- Yukon Gold or russet potatoes both work well for this hash.
