Sweet Potato Breakfast Hash
I’m a big fan of potatoes. White, yellow, sweet, baked, boiled, roasted or mashed, I’m happy to eat potatoes for any meal of the day. Although I do love white potatoes, sweet potatoes have been my go-to option lately. Not only are they delicious, but they are so quick and easy to prepare, and pack a ton of flavour. From sweet dishes to savoury dishes, sweet potatoes are incredibly versatile and inexpensive, making them a great source of starchy carbohydrates to add to any meal.
For this sweet potato hash, I opted to pair them with some sausages, eggs and green onion to help create a well-balanced meal complete with protein, healthy fats and fibre. Although I used pork sausages in this recipe, you could easily use beef, turkey or chicken sausages if you prefer. Not to mention, you could also use ground meat if you don’t have any sausages on hand.

Cuisine:Ingredients
- 1 tablespoon butter or olive oil
- 1 onion, diced
- 2 pork sausages or 4 breakfast sausages
- 2 medium sweet potatoes, diced
- 1/4 teaspoon crushed chillies (optional)
- 1/4 teaspoon sea salt
- 4 eggs
- 2 scallions, green parts chopped
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 400°F.
- In a cast iron skillet, heat the oil on medium and add the onion. Cook for 3-4 minutes until tender and starting to be translucent.
- Remove the sausage from their casing and add them to the pan with the onion. Using a spoon or spatula, gently break up the sausage meat and cook gently until sausage is browned. If you want to add the crushed chillies, add them in at this point.
- Once the sausage is cooked, remove the onion and sausage mixture from the pan and transfer to a plate or bowl for later use.
- In the same cast iron skillet, add the diced sweet potato, season with sea salt and cook for 5 to 7 minutes until potatoes soften and edge begin to brown. If you find the potatoes are sticking to pan just a little drizzle of oil.
- Once the potatoes have soften, return the sausage mixture to the pan and stir to combine with the potatoes.
- Using a spoon, make four wells in the potato mixture and crack an egg into each.
- Transfer the skillet to the oven for 10-15 minutes until eggs are cooked to your liking.
- Remove from the heat and sprinkle with chopped scallions.
- Serve immediately and enjoy!
