How to Make Sweet Potato and Sausage Hash
This recipe uses two sweet potatoes that you will peel and dice into about 1/2 inch pieces.
When you make Sweet Potato and Sausage Hash, you can use your favorite bulk breakfast sausage.
To start, you will brown your turkey sausage and butter (duck fat, ghee or coconut oil can also be used) in a skillet or other shallow pan.
Crumble it a bit as it cooks. Once it is browned, use a slotted spoon to scoop it out to a bowl. Set it aside for a bit.
You will need about a tablespoon of drippings in the pan. If you don’t have enough, you may need to add a little additional cooking fat.
