Sweet Potato and Sausage Hash
Our sweet potato and sausage hash features fresh sweet potatoes, peppers, onions, ground breakfast sausage, and a blend of savory spices!
This simple sweet potato hash is flavorful and loaded with all your breakfast favorites. It’s prepared similar to a breakfast scramble without the eggs.
For a vegetarian sweet potato hash, simply omit the breakfast sausage and enjoy all those perfectly cooked veggies and spices.
Best of all, the whole dish comes together in less than an hour. Serve it as a alongside our pumpkin oatmeal muffins or bacon and egg muffins for a delicious meal!
This is one of my top-ten breakfast recipes. I recommend serving it with a sunny-side egg right on top.
It’s such an earthy dish that be enjoyed year-round. You can even spice it up by using Italian sausage in place of the breakfast variety.

John’s Tips
Tips
- When dicing the sweet potatoes, try to cut all the pieces the same size. Otherwise, they will not cook evenly in the oven.
- Sausage can be salty, so it’s recommended that you try this recipe with a low-sodium sausage and add salt and pepper to taste.
- Sweet potato hash can be made in advance and kept in your freezer for up to 30-days provided it’s properly stored.
- Use your favorite sausage. Some ideas are Italian sausage, apple sausage, chicken sausage, or maple sausage for a slightly sweet flavor.
- Add scrambled or fried eggs to the hash.
- Stir in some kale or spinach for added color and greens.
