When I’m looking for a breakfast that will keep me full for hours, I go for hearty options such as stuffed french toast, breakfast egg muffins, breakfast burritos and this sweet potato hash.
Sweet Potato Hash Ingredients
When you make this sweet potato hash you will need sweet potatoes, olive oil, breakfast sausage, a red onion, a red bell pepper, a green bell pepper, garlic, eggs, parsley, salt and black pepper. This dish is a savory and hearty breakfast delight. For more breakfast fun try my pumpkin muffins, homemade cinnamon rolls and sausage egg casserole.
How Do You Make Sweet Potato Hash?
This sweet potato hash recipe starts with cooking breakfast sausage in a skillet. Break up the sausage into small crumbles and cook it until browned and done. Next, add your red onion to the pan and cook it until tender. Toss your bell peppers in the pan and cook them. Add garlic and cook it for 30 seconds. Add cooked and diced sweet potatoes to the mix. Season with salt and pepper. Finally, cook fried eggs in a separate pan and place them on the hash. Add a sprinkle of parsley, then breakfast is served!
Tips For The Perfect Sweet Potato Hash
Make sure all your ingredients are chopped up and ready to use before you start cooking. Stir your sweet potatoes gently when you add them to the pan so that they don’t break up into small pieces or get mushy. You can use pork or turkey breakfast sausage, whichever you prefer. This dish also works great with smoked sausage or chicken apple sausage. I love to serve this dish with a fried egg on top because the runny yolk mixes with the hash ingredients to form a sauce. You can also crack eggs directly into the hash, and bake the hash until the eggs cook through.
Flavor Variations
There are so many different ways to customize this sweet potato hash recipe to make it your own!
Protein: Instead of sausage, try ham, bacon or diced chicken. Potatoes: No sweet potatoes on hand? You can use cooked Russet or Yukon Gold potatoes instead. Vegetables: You can add other vegetables you have on hand such as spinach, mushrooms, kale, black beans or diced tomatoes. Spicy: Add some hot sauce or some chili powder if you like your hash spicy. Seasonings: You can add some of your favorite seasonings like paprika, cumin, oregano and garlic powder. Vegan: Omit the sausage and eggs from this recipe for a vegan version. You could also add diced tofu to this hash.
This sweet potato hash is a real winner, it’s perfect for breakfast or brunch. The sweet potatoes pair so well with the sausage and savory veggies, and the fried eggs really take this dish over the top! Serve yourself up a plate of hash topped with the egg, then stir the runny egg yolk into the sausage mixture – perfection I tell you! Whether it’s for breakfast, brunch, or even dinner, this dish is sure to please any palate!
