Cuisine: American
Serves: 4 servings
Ingredients
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 pound apple chicken sausage, sliced
- 2 cups diced potatoes
- 1 red bell pepper, diced
- 1 green bell pepper, diced
- 1 onion, diced
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Fresh parsley for garnish
Instructions
- Prepare all ingredients by washing and dicing the bell peppers, onion, and potatoes into uniform small cubes, approximately 1/2 inch in size to ensure even cooking.
- Heat olive oil in a large, heavy-bottomed skillet or cast-iron pan over medium-high heat, ensuring the pan is large enough to accommodate all ingredients without overcrowding.
- Add diced potatoes to the hot pan, spreading them in a single layer. Cook for 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until potatoes begin to develop golden-brown crispy edges and are partially cooked.
- Add sliced apple chicken sausage to the potatoes, allowing the sausage to brown and develop caramelized edges, which will enhance the overall flavor profile of the dish.
- Incorporate diced onions and bell peppers into the skillet, stirring to combine with potatoes and sausage. Reduce heat to medium and continue cooking for an additional 8-10 minutes.
- Season the hash generously with salt and freshly ground black pepper, tasting and adjusting seasoning as needed to complement the natural flavors of the sausage and vegetables.
- Cook until potatoes are completely tender when pierced with a fork, and all ingredients are well-caramelized and slightly crispy around the edges.
- Remove from heat and let the hash rest for 2-3 minutes to allow flavors to meld together.
- Garnish with freshly chopped parsley just before serving to add a bright, fresh element to the dish.
- Serve hot directly from the skillet, ensuring each serving has a mix of sausage, potatoes, and vegetables.
Tips
- Cut ingredients uniformly to ensure even cooking and consistent texture throughout the dish.
- Use a cast-iron skillet or heavy-bottomed pan for the best caramelization and crispy edges.
- Don't overcrowd the pan—this is crucial for achieving that perfect golden-brown crispiness.
- Let the potatoes develop a crisp exterior before adding other ingredients for maximum flavor.
- Season generously and taste as you go to build layers of flavor.
- Fresh parsley is not just a garnish—it adds a bright, fresh contrast to the rich, hearty hash.
- Let the hash rest for a few minutes after cooking to allow flavors to meld together.
- For extra richness, consider adding a fried egg on top or a dollop of sour cream.
- Experiment with different colored bell peppers for a more vibrant presentation.
- Leftovers can be easily reheated in a skillet to maintain the crispy texture.
