This Sweet Potato Sausage Apple Hash is the perfect egg-free breakfast. It’s also perfect for meal prepping and wonderful with an over-easy egg on top as well for a variation.
This is my new favorite meal prepping kind of breakfast. Not that you can’t just make a pan and eat it right away, but I like to make 2 full pans for just the 2 of us. That way, I can refrigerate a lot of leftovers to reheat throughout the week for quick and easy breakfasts.
You can eat this hash just as it is, or top it with over-easy eggs. For the last while, I’ve really cut down on the amount of eggs I’ve been eating because I’ve felt better doing so. But I do love a good yolk running around all over my bowl of hash on the weekends!
If you’re also looking for more egg-free breakfasts, I hope you’ll enjoy my new favorite! The combination of sweet potato with apples and sage ties so well together with sausage and kale. And while I love variety in my meals, I’ve found myself happily eating it all week long for several weeks now.
What type of potato to use
- First up, you can use a white sweet potato, as you see in the photos.
- Or you can use whatever sweet potato of any color that’s available andat a reasonable price. For us here locally, most of the time that means the orange colored sweet potatoes.
- You can also use regular potatoes as well, really, whatever potato you have on hand will be delicious here in this recipe.
What type of apple to use
- My number one go-to apple for baking is a McIntosh because its flavor is so good in everything from this hash to a classic apple pie .
- Any locally grown apple that’s meant to be cooked, like a sweet sixteen. Ask your farmer at the next farmers’ market you go to, and they’ll point you in the right direction for what will be available to you.
- And of course, there’s always Granny Smith apples, which are widely available and add a nice sweet/tart flavor to anything baked.
For the sausage, look for something without additives when you can. And if you want this to be Whole30-compliant, be sure to watch for added sugar.
Tips for this Sweet Potato Sausage Apple Hash
- While it’s traditional to cook hash on the stove top, I like to roast the potato mixture in a sheet pan.
- If you do want to go the skillet route, you’ll probably need to halve the recipe since a sheet pan always fits quite a bit more.
Meal Prepping Tips
- Depending on how many you’re feeding, try doubling this recipe and cooking 2 sheet pans for leftovers.
- To re-warm the hash without a microwave, add as much hash as you’d like to a skillet and turn the heat to low. Partially cover the skillet with a lid and stir occasionally over the next 5 or so minutes as the hash warms up. Serve right away, or cook an egg or 2 to go along with.
Fresh Herb Variations
- Rosemary is almost always my go-to, and it’s hard to branch out, so of course, it’s my first variation!
- Thyme is so underrated and so delicious with these fall flavors, too.
