Equipment Needed

All you need for this recipe is a cutting board, knife and a pan or skillet to cook with. I love my Caraway pans because they are non-toxic, gorgeous and easy to cook with.

Ingredients Needed

Chicken Sausage: I recommend using high-quality chicken sausage, if possible. The flavor of the sausage will make a big difference in the overall taste of the dish!

Vegetables: I used carrots, onion, squash, radishes and zucchini in this hash. I used Japanese sweet potatoes as well. I also like to add squash, radish, peppers and brussels sprouts! Some other options are: mushrooms, spinach, corn, peas and asparagus.

Seasoning: I like to use garlic powder and salt and keep things simple! Feel free to mix it up and try different spices and herbs. Season the vegetables before cooking. This will help them to absorb the flavor of the seasonings. Season the hash again after cooking. This will help to ensure that the entire dish is flavorful. Don't be afraid to experiment with different seasonings. There is no right or wrong way to season hash.

Toppings: Feel free to add your favorite toppings. I like to add dairy free feta and sprouts! Some popular options include eggs, avocado, sour cream and salsa. You can also use hot sauce!

Step-By-Step Instructions

Step 1: Chop sausages and veggies and mince garlic.

Step 2: Add oil to the pan. Add sausages, veggies and seasoning to the pan. Cover and cook over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until browned.

Step 3: Add toppings of your choice such as hot sauce, cheese or sprouts and enjoy!

Tips For Getting Your Potatoes Tender

Cut the potatoes into even-sized pieces. This will help them to cook evenly. If you're cutting the potatoes into cubes, aim for cubes that are about 1/2 inch in size.

Make sure to use enough oil. The potatoes should be coated in a thin layer of oil before you start cooking. This will help them to brown evenly and prevent them from sticking to the pan.

Cover the pan. Covering the pan will help to trap the steam and cook the potatoes more evenly. The potatoes are done when they are tender and a fork can easily pierce through them. With these tips, you'll be able to cook tender and delicious potatoes in a pan every time!

How To Serve

Breakfast hash is a hearty and satisfying dish on its own. You can enjoy it for breakfast, lunch, or dinner.

You can also add eggs if you prefer! Eggs are a classic topping for breakfast hash. You can fry, scramble, or poach your eggs.

Avocado can also make a tasty addition. Avocado adds a creamy texture and healthy fats to this chicken sausage hash.

Sour cream adds a tangy flavor and richness to this breakfast hash.

A side salad adds light and refreshing element. This would make a great pairing with this meal!

ou can also serve breakfast hash with other toppings, such as shredded cheese, green onions, or hot sauce. It really depends on your personal preferences!

Storage

To store this chicken sausage hash, simply place it in an airtight container and refrigerate it for up to 4 days. You can also freeze breakfast hash for up to 3 months. To reheat breakfast hash, simply thaw it overnight in the refrigerator or heat it up in the microwave or on the stovetop. Be sure to let the hash cool completely before storing it. This will help to prevent it from becoming soggy.

Variations

Breakfast hash is a versatile dish that can be made with a variety of ingredients, so there are many different ways to vary it. Here are a few ideas:

Use different types of meat. Instead of chicken sausage, you could use pork sausage, turkey sausage or even ground beef.

Add different vegetables. You could add other vegetables to your hash, such as peppers, mushrooms, tomatoes, spinach, kale, brussels sprouts, corn, peas, asparagus or green beans. You could even add cooked rice or quinoa to your hash for a more substantial meal.

Use different seasonings. Instead of the traditional salt and garlic, you could season your hash with onion powder, paprika, cayenne pepper, chili powder, cumin, oregano, thyme, rosemary or herbes de Provence. You could also add a splash of Worcestershire sauce, soy sauce (or coconut aminos) or hot sauce to your hash for extra flavor!

Add different toppings. You could top your hash with shredded cheese, eggs, avocado, sour cream, salsa, green onions, hot sauce or a dollop of yogurt. You could even crumble some bacon or sausage on top for a bit of extra protein.

No matter how you choose to vary it, breakfast hash is a delicious and satisfying meal that everyone will enjoy. So get creative and have fun with it!
