Spicy sausage hash with a touch of sweet. Because I’ve been on a sweet potato kick lately, and this hash sounded like a great way to totally switch up the flavors with a little sausage and a southwest kick from a bit of adobo sauce.

This sunny side up egg is just oozing goodness into a pile of sweet potatoes and sausage. This breakfast hash is legit fuel for your day!

The best hash skillets

Gather round. It’s time to start dishing out some big family-style breakfasts to fuel you through the cold days ahead. Let’s get busy. There is a lot to be done. From tree hunting to candle lighting this is the season for non-stop family entertaining.

Making skillet hash quick and convenient

Hosting, wrapping, cleaning, cooking. It’s a lot to juggle on top of the normal 9 to 5. So, even with that nearby pile of cookies staring you down, remember, the most important meal of the day is all about eating right, and eating well. Don’t let that sugar rush send you into fits of manic hyperdrive.

Use a sweet and spicy sausage

Keep your cool and dish out this hearty sweet and spicy sausage hash to kick the day off right.

Sure, bacon is the candy of meats and all. It’s quick and easy. But there is something about breakfast sausage that I am a sucker for every single time.

So, when I started thinking about all the things I wanted to make for me and mine with this sausage I was quickly overwhelmed with ideas. First, plain jane eggs with sausage on the side is kind of a man’s meal right there. Then there’s a runny egg biscuit sandwich with a sausage patty shoved all up in the middle.

Or breakfast tacos (might be coming soon on the site… just saying), that whole toad in the hole breakfast thing I’ve been dying to make, and a filling breakfast casserole or two.

A few tips on making great hash

Great hash is all about a few things.

  • Make sure the skillet is nice and hot. This helps avoid the moisture preventing a nice browning
  • Chop all your ingredients down to roughly the same rough cut size. This helps putting bites on the fork easier.
  • Add the ingredients to take the longest to cook first, so you have everything arrive at perfect doneness together.
  • Stir, stir, stir. Make sure all the sides of all the different hashed up bits and bites get browned all around. The browning is the key to the flavor. That caramelization is what binds all the flavors together – No matter what you put in there.

Leftovers are the key to great hash recipes

Lingering leftovers from Thanksgiving or other holiday feasts? Use them and totally switch up the flavors with a little southwest kick from a bit of adobo sauce. The maple brings a touch of sweet and the avocado cream blends with my runny egg yolk in a heavenly blend of all things carnivore for breakfast.
