A hearty and wholesome paleo breakfast hash featuring crispy sweet potatoes and savory sausage, perfect for a satisfying start to your day.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 medium sweet potatoes, peeled and diced into ½-inch cubes
  • 12 ounces ground pork sausage (or turkey sausage for leaner option)
  • 2 tablespoons avocado oil
  • 1 small yellow or sweet onion, finely chopped
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 medium bell pepper (red or orange), diced
  • 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
  • ½ teaspoon dried thyme
  • Sea salt and black pepper to taste
  • 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped (optional)
  • 2 large eggs (optional, for topping)

Instructions

  1. Prep the veggies: Peel and dice sweet potatoes into ½-inch cubes. Chop onion, bell pepper, and mince garlic.
  2. Cook the sausage: Heat 1 tablespoon avocado oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add sausage, break it up, and cook until browned and cooked through, about 5-7 minutes. Remove sausage to a bowl, leaving fat in pan.
  3. Sauté the vegetables: Add remaining 1 tablespoon avocado oil to skillet. Add sweet potatoes in a single layer and cook undisturbed for 3 minutes to start crisping. Stir in onion, bell pepper, and garlic. Season with smoked paprika, thyme, salt, and pepper.
  4. Combine and crisp: Return sausage to pan and stir to combine. Spread hash out and cook without stirring for 3-4 minutes to crisp sweet potatoes on one side. Stir and repeat for extra crispiness if desired.
  5. Final touches: Taste and adjust seasoning. Sprinkle chopped parsley over the top.
  6. Optional eggs: While hash finishes, fry or poach eggs in a separate pan to serve on top.

Notes

Use avocado oil for high smoke point and crispiness. Avoid overcrowding the pan to ensure sweet potatoes crisp well. Medium heat prevents burning. For leftovers, reheat gently in a skillet to maintain crisp texture. Optional eggs add protein and richness.
