This sweet potato breakfast hash is cozy, colorful, and full of flavor. The breakfast sausage and sweet potatoes build a savory and slightly sweet base, while sage, red onion, and chard add deep, earthy notes. Top it with a fried egg and you’ve got a comforting and nutrient-rich brunch meal that’s just as satisfying for dinner.

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)

  • Sweet Potato Dice Perfection 🔪
    Cut sweet potatoes into uniform 1/2-inch cubes to ensure even cooking and consistent texture throughout the hash.
  • Sage Technique Mastery 🌿
    Crisp sage leaves in butter for 15-20 seconds to develop a nutty, aromatic flavor that elevates the entire dish.
  • Swiss Chard Strategic Layering 🥬
    Add chopped Swiss chard stems first, then leafy greens later to prevent overcooking and maintain a perfect texture and vibrant color.
  • Sausage Browning Secrets 🍳
    Break sausage into small, irregular pieces and allow it to develop a deep golden-brown crust before stirring for maximum flavor development.
  • Egg Topping Precision 🍳
    For the perfect fried egg, use a non-stick pan with clarified butter and cook on medium-low heat to achieve a crispy edge with a silky, runny yolk.
