Sweet Potato and Sausage Hash is a great way to start off any weekend morning. The sweet potatoes get cooked in some boiling water. The sausage and onion get cooked in a skillet and I learned something new today while cooking sausage. If you pour in a little bit of water, that helps to get the brown sticky bits off the bottom of the pan. The water will absorb in the skillet and your pan will be clean. The sausage and sweet potatoes give you that sweet and salty combo, and then you have that egg that gets cooked on top of the sweet potatoes and sausage.
This recipe kind of reminded me of the Oven Baked Sausage and Potato recipe that is popular on this blog. I like my potatoes a bit on the crispy side, so next time I'm going to just bake the potatoes in the oven. Another breakfast dinner winner.

I'm not really a fan of sweet potatoes either, but I love sweet potato fries. I'm slowly becoming a sweet potato lover. Slowly.

No onions were included in the calorie count. The green onions were just a garnish and are optional. You can add the onions if you want I didn't even use more than 1/4 of a cup so it's hardly any calories....

In the picture it shows diced onion (as well as sliced scallions) but there is no onion in the ingredients list. How much onion are you using (1/2 a medium onion?) and was onion included in the calorie count?
Jenna says
I didn't even use the Asian Chili sauce when I made this, and it still turned out good. I'm sure some red pepper flakes would work too.
mary says
what could i substitute for the asian chili sauce?? any suggestions??

Yum! I've been wanting to make a sweet potato and some-kind-of-meat hash for a while now, perhaps sausage would be the best for pairing with sweet potato. I love the egg on top, that always makes everything better 🙂
