Sweet Potato & Chicken Sausage Hash


Flavorful, healthy, and fast.  My husband couldn't get enough of this.  I like using the wok for the hash to get that beautiful char on the potatoes, and Trader Joe's chicken sausages are great, especially the chicken andouille for some heat.  

Serve with a dollop of sour cream and a sunny side up  egg over top – I love me a runny yolk!  

I actually created this dish about a month into my recovery from pancreatitis when I was craving some flavor!  For even less fat/spices check out different chicken sausage flavors (TJ's roasted garlic have 6 grams of fat each) and serve with an egg-white omelet. 


Sweet Potato & Chicken Sausage Hash

Makes 4-6 servings

Ingredients:

2 sweet potatoes, cut into ½ inch cubes
3-4 chicken sausages, removed from casing and diced
½ medium onion, diced
½ tsp cumin
½ tsp smoked paprika
1 Tbsp cider vinegar or lime juice
Salt and pepper

Method:

Heat a wok or large skillet on med-high heat.  Add 1 Tbsp of oil, the sweet potato, onion, cumin, paprika, salt and pepper.   Saute until cooked through, about 8 minutes.   You want to get some nice color on the potato.  If needed, add a little water to the pan at the end to help steam/soften the sweet potatoes and keep cooking until all of the water has been absorbed or evaporated.

Add the chicken sausage and cook for 3-5 more minutes to heat through and get a little color.  Add the vinegar and taste for salt.
