Sweet potato hash is a healthy, delicious, budget-friendly, and so versatile! Serve it as is as a side dish, or add some sausage and top it with a poached egg for a full meal deal. Ready to eat in 30 minutes.
If you plan to add sausage or other meats to your hash, fry the meat first in a cast iron skillet until it is brown and crispy and set aside.
Heat a large cast-iron skillet over medium-high heat. Add oil and butter to the skillet, mixing as the butter melts.
Add the chopped onions and fry in the butter and oil mixture, stirring frequently, for about 5 minutes.
Add the cubed sweet potatoes, then decrease the heat to medium-low (or low, depending on your stovetop). Sprinkle with salt, pepper, and paprika, and stir to combine. Lay fresh herbs (i.e., rosemary) over the top, or sprinkle dried herbs in with the seasonings.
When the potatoes are fork-tender, add browned sausage, and/or any additional vegetables (i.e., grated carrots, etc) and chopped fresh herbs. Cook for three to five minutes more, turning from the bottom with a flat metal spatula, until any additions are heated through and well-incorporated into the hash.
Remove the hash from the heat, and season to taste with additional kosher salt, pepper, and hot sauce. Serve warm, topped with a poached egg if desired.
Notes
Oven-baked Option: Instead of frying, you can bake hash in the oven. To do this, pour the hash mixture into a casserole dish and bake at 375°F | 190°C for about 30 minutes, or until the mixture is heated through and crispy around the edges.Nutrition facts do not include values for optional ingredients.
