Clearly I have a food love affair with breakfast hash combinations.
Roasted potatoes that are crisp on the outside and tender inside,
tossed into a skillet with piping hot crisp vegetables and whichever
meat or bean sounds good at the moment. Served just as often for
breakfast as for dinner, hash is a lousy name for one of my favorite
foods and I serve it at least a couple times every month.
I made this meal a few nights ago and fell in love with sweet potatoes all over again.
I assumed that I'd posted this combination last year, but when I
checked it wasn't posted. Too impatient to even set a plate on the
counter for a picture, I'm giving you a skillet shot just so I can write
down the recipe for next time. I just can't have enough recipes for
hash!
The recipe I posted One Year Ago Today was a breakfast potato skillet. I have recipes using red or white potatoes, there are sweet potato combinations, versions with mushrooms, fancier breakfast hash with smoked salmon or inexpensive versions loaded with beans. If you are in the mood for it, there is bacon in this one and this one and this one.
That's more than enough links for one post, but if you still want more
ideas, there are plenty more breakfast skillet ideas in the Recipe Index.
Breakfast Sausage Skillet with Onions, Peppers and Roasted Sweet Potatoes
Yield: 6 servings
3 large sweet potatoes, scrubbed and patted dry, diced into 1/2" pieces
3-4 tablespoons olive oil
1 teaspoon kosher salt, plus 1/2 teaspoon divided
1/2 teaspoon freshly cracked black pepper, plus 1/4 teaspoon divided
1 lb breakfast sausage, I used a spicy variety
1 large sweet yellow onion
2 large bell peppers, I used an orange and a green pepper
2-3 cups baby spinach
Preheat
the oven to 425 degrees. Place the potatoes in a large mixing bowl and
drizzle generously with oil, using your hands, toss the potatoes
thoroughly to coat. Sprinkle with 1 teaspoon salt and 1/2 teaspoon
pepper and toss again. Spread the potatoes across a silpat lined baking
sheet (if you do not have a silpat mat, generously grease the baking
sheet with oil). Roast for 30 minutes, stir with a spatula and then
return to the oven. Roast another 15-25 minutes and then remove from the
oven. Stir again with a spatula.
During the last 20
minutes while the potatoes are roasting, start cooking and crumbling the
sausage in a large skillet over medium high heat. Once the sausage is
finished, add the onions and cook for a few minutes until they are
tender. Add the peppers and season with the remaining salt and pepper.
Continue tossing and cooking for 4-5 minutes.
When the
peppers are slightly tender and still a bit crisp, remove from the heat.
Add the cooked potatoes and toss to combine. Add the spinach and toss
for 1-2 minutes until it begins to wilt. Serve immediately. Enjoy!
