Sage Sausage Sweet Potato and Apple Hash

There’s something so cozy and fall-like about a sizzling pan of hot sweet potato, sausage, and apple hash. Making a great breakfast skillet or an easy dinner side, this recipe is simple, tasty, filling, and healthy.

I first had a variation of this recipe years back when I was a new mom. I met up with a long-time friend at Starbucks. We were both gluten-free, which was still a novelty at that time, and she brought us a little breakfast to have alongside our coffees. To this day, I remember being surprised by the simplicity of the ingredients and thinking, I’ve got to get home and try this recipe!

Since then, I have added this to our repertoire of family recipes. I like to pull this one out when the mornings get gray and chilly and the leaves turn shades of bright yellows, reds, and browns.

Ingredient Notes

• Sweet Potatoes: I like to use a Red Garnet sweet potato.
• Ground Sage Sausage: Any ground breakfast sausage will work. I love to use a sage-flavored sausage if I can find one (Jimmy Dean has a sage sausage that works great for this recipe).
• Olive Oil – Organic cold pressed extra virgin olive oil.
• Yellow Onion: You can use other onions, but I love the yellow onion the best for this recipe.
• Apple: Gravensteins or Granny Smith
• Sea Salt and Pepper: Salt and pepper really make this dish for me. Without them, it falls flat! I didn’t put a measurement on them because it’s subjective. Season to taste.
• Fresh Sage Leaves: If you have fresh sage from the garden, toss a few in at the end, it adds a wonderful flavor. (If you don’t have any, that’s okay, it will still be a great dish.)
