Sweet Potato Hash

by Carrie on August 7, 2009

My mom came over for dinner this week and I knew I wanted to make something different and fun. I decided to make meatloaf, mashed cauliflower, and then wanted to do something with sweet potatoes.

I found this recipe and used it as a base, omitting the sausage and onion to make it more savory. This is was wonderful. Even Adam who doesn’t like sweet potatoes took ate this, more so then his regular potato I made him.

Sweet Potato Hash

  • 1 1/2  pounds  sweet potatoes, peeled and diced
  • 1/3  cup  water
  • 1 1/2  teaspoons  olive oil
  • 2  (1-ounce) links turkey breakfast sausage
  • 1 1/4  cups  chopped onion
  • 3/4  teaspoon  salt, divided
  • 1 1/2  tablespoons  maple syrup
  • 1  tablespoon  water
  • 1/4  teaspoon  black pepper
  • 1/8  teaspoon  ground nutmeg
  • Place sweet potatoes and 1/3 cup water in a large microwave-safe bowl. Cover with plastic wrap and microwave at HIGH 15 minutes or until potatoes are tender. Carefully uncover; drain and keep warm.

    Heat oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Remove casings from sausage. Add onion to pan; sauté 6 minutes or until tender. Add sausage and 1/4 teaspoon salt; cook 4 minutes or until sausage is done, stirring to crumble. Stir in sweet potatoes, 1/2 teaspoon salt, syrup, 1 tablespoon water, pepper, and nutmeg. Cook until liquid is absorbed and sweet potatoes begin to brown (about 5 minutes).
