Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 1 lb. sweet potatoes peeled and diced ¼ inch.
  • 4 oz onion peeled and diced ¼ inch.
  • 6 oz red or green peppers seeded and diced ¼ inch.
  • 6 oz ground sausage cooked and drained of excess fat (I recommend using our local Arnold's Farm sausage if possible.)
  • ¼ t. red pepper flakes
  • 2 T olive oil divided.
  • Salt and pepper to taste.
  • 4 eggs

Method
 

  1. In a medium frying pan, brown the sausage, drain the fat, and set sausage aside.
  2. Add 1 ½ tablespoons olive oil to the same frying pan and turn the heat to medium-low.
  3. Add diced potatoes and onions and cover the pan.
  4. Stir potato-onion mixture every few minutes.
  5. Add the peppers and cooked sausage to the pan when the onions turn translucent.
  6. Stir the mixture and cover, stirring every few minutes, so the bottom doesn't burn.
  7. The vegetables and potatoes should take 15-20 minutes to get tender.
  8. If you are preparing meals and saving the hash to serve later, cook until the potatoes are barely tender. Freezing and reheating will soften the potatoes; if cooked to long, they will turn too much.
  9. When the hash is done, plate or portion the hash.
  10. Wipe out the pan, add ½ tablespoon of olive oil to the pan, and place it over medium-low heat again.
  11. Add your eggs and cook until they are the desired doneness.
  12. Place one egg on each portion.
  13. Top with hot sauce if you choose.

Notes

If you are doing meal prep, you can use over hard or scrambled eggs to add to your meal prep containers. When I do meal prep, I leave the eggs out and fry them when I decide to have hash.
I also start reheating the hash in the microwave and finishing it in a frying pan to crisp it up quickly. I take this opportunity to through in a handful of fresh spinach to give it a little boost of nutrition.
This is a flexible recipe. Feel free to add spinach or mushrooms too. We did a vegetarian version substituting black beans for the sausage. Add a few jalapenos or other hot peppers if you really like.
