Sweet Potato Hash
Description
Sweet Potato Hash is a skillet recipe that starts with cubed sweet potatoes cooked in oil until browned and partly tender. Meanwhile, the breakfast sausage is browned with onion until cooked through. The sweet potatoes are seasoned with garlic powder, smoked paprika, salt, and pepper before adding diced red bell pepper. The combined ingredients cook a few more minutes until the bell pepper softens and all flavors meld. This results in a slightly crisp and sweet base offset by savory sausage and aromatic spices.
The dish has a robust texture from the soft but slightly caramelized sweet potatoes paired with the crumbled sausage and tender onion and pepper. The smoked paprika adds a subtle smoky note that complements the meat and vegetables. Cooking the sweet potatoes separately at first allows better browning and a nicer texture.
This hash works well as a filling brunch or hearty side dish, especially paired with eggs or alongside other breakfast proteins. It provides a balance of sweet, savory, and smoky elements that sustain a satisfying meal.
Ingredients
- 1.5 lbs. sweet potato $1.48, about 2 medium
- 1 yellow onion $0.32
- 1 red bell pepper $1.59
- 8 oz. breakfast sausage $1.75
- 1/2 Tbsp neutral cooking oil $0.03, generic cooking oil
- 3/4 tsp salt $0.05
- 1/2 tsp black pepper $0.04, freshly cracked
- 1/2 tsp garlic powder $0.05
- 1/2 tsp smoked paprika $0.05
Instructions
- Wash, peel, and dice the sweet potatoes. Dice the onion and the red bell pepper. Set the vegetables to the side.
- In a large non-stick skillet, crumble the breakfast sausage and cook over medium heat. Cook the sausage until it’s almost completely browned. Add the diced onion and continue cooking until the onion is translucent and the sausage is fully browned. Remove the sausage and onions to a separate plate and set it to the side.
- In the same skillet, add the cooking oil and the diced sweet potatoes. Cook the sweet potatoes over medium heat for 10-12 minutes. Stir occasionally but not too often so the sweet potatoes have a chance to brown and caramelize. Don’t worry if the sweet potatoes are not fork tender during this time as they will continue to cook in the next step.
- Now add the diced red bell pepper, salt, black pepper, garlic powder, and smoked paprika to the skillet. Stir together with the sweet potatoes. Cook for an additional 3-5 minutes or until the sweet potatoes are now fork tender.
- Add the cooked sausage and onions back to the skillet and combine with the sweet potatoes and peppers. Cook for 1-2 more minutes to allow the sausage to reheat with the rest of the hash.
- Serve this sweet potato hash with fresh parsley, sliced avocado, or any of your favorite toppings!
