Sweet Potato and Chicken Sausage Hash – Leite’s Culinaria

I adore hash of all kinds (David Leite’s Corned Beef Hash is my absolute favorite) so this sweet potato and chicken sausage was, unsurprisingly, a big winner for me.

I loved the interplay of sweet and savory elements. The ingredients are mostly savory, but the caramelization of the veg lends a beautiful toasty sweetness. As with any good hash, you can taste each individual ingredient, yet they harmonize to become something new. It’s a comforting, flavor-packed mélange that is nutritious and lighter than your average hash, but no less flavorful for that.

My only quibble was putting the sausage in with the veggies, because it doesn’t brown properly in that crowd. Next time, I will crisp the chicken sausage first in the avocado oil, then remove it, and then add the sweet potatoes to the skillet. I’ll add the sausage back after the veggies have cooked a bit.
