Ingredients

6 servings
  • Sweet Potato, Baked, Flesh Only(680g)

    Any sweet potato works. Medium = ~130g. Microwave 5-6 min to speed prep.

  • Yellow Onion
  • Bell Pepper
  • Sausage, Pork, Breakfast(227g)
  • Vegetable oil(8g)
  • ¾ tsp salt ($0.05)
  • ½ Tsp Black Pepper (Freshly Cracked, $0.04)
  • Garlic powder(3g)
  • Paprika, Smoked(3g)

Instructions

  1. 1Wash, peel, and dice the sweet potatoes. Dice the onion and the red bell pepper. Set the vegetables to the side.
  2. 2In a large non-stick skillet, crumble the breakfast sausage and cook over medium heat. Cook the sausage until it’s almost completely browned. Add the diced onion and continue cooking until the onion is translucent and the sausage is fully browned. Remove the sausage and onions to a separate plate and set it to the side.
  3. 3In the same skillet, add the cooking oil and the diced sweet potatoes. Cook the sweet potatoes over medium heat for 10-12 minutes. Stir occasionally but not too often so the sweet potatoes have a chance to brown and caramelize. Don’t worry if the sweet potatoes are not fork tender during this time as they will continue to cook in the next step.
  4. 4Now add the diced red bell pepper, salt, black pepper, garlic powder, and smoked paprika to the skillet. Stir together with the sweet potatoes. Cook for an additional 3-5 minutes or until the sweet potatoes are now fork tender.
  5. 5Add the cooked sausage and onions back to the skillet and combine with the sweet potatoes and peppers. Cook for 1-2 more minutes to allow the sausage to reheat with the rest of the hash.
  6. 6Serve this sweet potato hash with fresh parsley, sliced avocado, or any of your favorite toppings!
