Total Time: 30 mins
Cuisine: American
Serves: 4 servings
Ingredients
- 2 large sweet potatoes, diced
- 1 lb sausage, sliced
- 1 red bell pepper, diced
- 1 green bell pepper, diced
- 1 onion, chopped
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 1 teaspoon paprika
Instructions
- Begin by preparing all your ingredients. Peel the sweet potatoes and dice them into small, even cubes. This will ensure they cook evenly. Slice the sausage into bite-sized pieces, and dice the red and green bell peppers. Chop the onion finely.
- In a large skillet or frying pan, heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil over medium heat. Allow the oil to heat up for a minute until it shimmers, indicating it's ready for cooking.
- Add the diced sweet potatoes to the skillet. Spread them out in an even layer and season with salt, pepper, and paprika. Stir occasionally to prevent sticking, and cook for about 8-10 minutes until they start to soften and develop a golden-brown color.
- While the sweet potatoes are cooking, in a separate pan, you can cook the sausage over medium heat until browned and cooked through, about 5-7 minutes. Alternatively, you can add the sausage directly to the sweet potatoes once they have softened.
- If you cooked the sausage separately, transfer it to the skillet with the sweet potatoes. If not, simply add the sliced sausage to the sweet potatoes in the skillet after they have softened.
- Add the chopped onion and diced bell peppers to the skillet with the sweet potatoes and sausage. Stir well to combine all the ingredients.
- Continue to cook the mixture for an additional 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally. This will allow the vegetables to soften and the flavors to meld together. Adjust seasoning with more salt and pepper if needed.
- Once the sweet potatoes are tender and the sausage is heated through, remove the skillet from the heat. Let it sit for a minute before serving.
- Serve the sweet potato hash warm, garnished with fresh herbs if desired. Enjoy your hearty and delicious Sweet Potato Hash with Sausage and Peppers!
Tips
- Cut ingredients uniformly: Ensure all your sweet potato and sausage pieces are similar in size for even cooking.
- Don't overcrowd the pan: Give your ingredients space to brown and caramelize, which develops deeper flavors.
- Use a cast-iron skillet if possible: It provides excellent heat distribution and helps create a perfect crispy texture.
- Season generously: The paprika adds a subtle smokiness, but don't be afraid to experiment with additional spices like smoked paprika or cayenne for extra kick.
- For a healthier version, use lean sausage or turkey sausage and add extra vegetables like spinach or kale.
- Let the hash rest for a minute after cooking to allow flavors to meld and prevent burning your mouth.
- Serve with a fried egg on top for an extra layer of deliciousness and protein.
