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.

Sweet Potato & Sausage Hash
Ingredients
- 1 lb bulk breakfast sausage, turkey or beef
- 2 sweet potatoes, peeled and cut into about 1/2 inch cubes
- 1 red onion, diced
- 2 green apples, peeled, cored, and diced
- salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
- To begin, brown your sausage 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.
- If you are using homemade sausage, it may be very lean. You will need about a tablespoon of drippings in the pan. If you don’t have enough, you may need to add a little ghee or coconut oil. If your sausage was bountiful in the drippings, remove the excess.
- Cook your diced sweet potato and onion together until it just tender.
- Add in the apples and the browned sausage, then cook it together until the apples and sausage are heated through. The apples will retain a nice crunch.
- Add some salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste.
