Ingredients
- 12 ounces breakfast sausage patties (or ground breakfast sausage)
- 4 cups sweet potatoes (cut into 1/2-inch cubes from 2 medium potatoes)
- salt and pepper (to taste)
- 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
- 1 tablespoon pure maple syrup
Instructions
- Add the sausage patties to a large skillet over medium heat. Cook until no longer pink, 3-5 minutes, breaking up with a meat chopper or spatula. Using a slotted spoon, remove the sausage to a plate and set aside.
- Add the diced sweet potatoes to the skillet with a drizzle of olive oil, if needed. Season with salt and pepper and sprinkle with the cinnamon.
- Cook the sweet potatoes for 10-15 minutes, stirring frequently, or until they are fork tender.
- Mix the cooked sausage back into the sweet potatoes and drizzle the maple syrup over the top. Toss to combine. You can add more maple syrup, if you like.
- Serve warm.
Notes
Tips and Techniques
- Try to cut your sweet potatoes into as evenly-sized pieces as possible. This will help them all cook at the same rate so that you don’t end up with mushy and/or hard pieces of potato.
- This recipe is easy to modify. Add an onion, an apple, or both to change up the flavor just a bit. If you love eggs cooked within your hash, go for it!
- Store any leftover hash in an air-tight container in the refrigerator. Use within 4-5 days.
