Ingredient Notes

You’ll need 1 cup of diced potatoes, which can be replaced with sweet potatoes for a healthier twist. 2 tablespoons of olive oil are ideal for frying, but any high smoke-point oil works. The 1 pound of breakfast sausage can be swapped for turkey sausage for a leaner option. Finally, use 1/2 cup of diced bell pepper for a pop of color and flavor.

Step-by-Step Instructions

  1. Add 1 cup of diced potatoes and cook until golden brown, about 10 minutes, stirring occasionally.
  2. Add 1 pound of breakfast sausage, breaking it up with a spatula, and cook until browned and cooked through.
  3. Stir in 1/2 cup of diced bell pepper and cook for an additional 3-5 minutes until the peppers are tender.
  4. Season with salt and pepper to taste before serving hot.

Things I’ve Learned

If your potatoes aren’t cooking evenly, cut them into smaller pieces. Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days. To reheat, simply warm them in a skillet or microwave. For meal prep, you can cook and store the hash ahead of time, making mornings easier!
