Instructions
1
Fry the sage in 2 tbsp butter or oil for about 3 minutes until it’s lightly browned and toasted. Remove the leaves from the pan and save for later.
2
In the remaining butter or oil in the pan, cook 1 pound of your preferred breakfast sausage (remove from casing if there is any) in the same pan, breaking the sausage up into crumbles. This should take about 10 minutes. Remove the cooked sausage from the pan and set aside for later.
3
Add the onions to the pan and cook for about 3 minutes.
4
Add 1 to 2 tbsp butter or oil if your pan is looking dry, then add the sweet potato, poultry seasoning, red pepper flakes, salt (about 1/4 to 1/2 tsp) and a couple turns of cracked black pepper. Toss and cook for 10 to 15 minutes until the potatoes are soft.
5
Add the chard, season with a pinch of salt, and cook until it’s wilted (roughly another 3 to 4 minutes).
6
While the chard wilts, add a little oil to a separate pan over medium-low heat (about 1 tsp per egg). Crack the eggs into the pan and season each with a pinch of salt and cracked black pepper. Fry your eggs according to your liking. For sunny-side up, fry them until the whites are cooked and set and the yolk is still runny, about 3 minutes.
7
Return the cooked sausage to the pan with the sweet potatoes and chard and toss everything together. Taste for seasoning and add more salt and pepper, if needed.
8
Plate each serving of sweet potato hash with a fried egg and some fried sage leaves.

Tips & Tricks (5)
- Pre-cook Sweet Potatoes for Even Texture 🥔Cut sweet potatoes into uniform ½-inch cubes and par-cook them in boiling salted water for 4-5 minutes before adding to the hash; this ensures they're tender inside while still getting crispy edges when pan-fried.
- Break Up Sausage for Maximum Flavor 🌶️Crumble the breakfast sausage into small, bite-sized pieces as it cooks and don't stir too frequently—allow each piece to develop a flavorful brown crust for 2-3 minutes before stirring.
- Toast Sage Leaves Separately for Depth 🌿Crisp fresh sage leaves in butter or oil for 30-60 seconds just before finishing the dish, then scatter them over the hash; this intensifies their earthy flavor and prevents them from becoming bitter during prolonged cooking.
- Create Crispy Edges with Strategic Resting 🍳After adding your hash mixture to the pan, resist the urge to stir for the first 3-4 minutes; this allows the bottom layer to caramelize and develop golden, crispy texture against the pan.
- Finish Eggs in Residual Heat 🥚Create small wells in the hot hash, crack eggs directly into them, then cover with a lid and let the residual heat gently cook the eggs for 2-3 minutes—this prevents the hash from overcooking while achieving perfectly set yolks.
