Main Ingredients
- 3 cups diced Yukon Gold potatoes (peeled)
- 8 oz smoked sausage, sliced
- 1 cup diced bell peppers (any color)
- 1 medium onion, diced
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
Seasonings & Oil
- 2 tsp chili powder
- 1 tsp paprika
- Salt, to taste
- Black pepper, to taste
- 2 tbsp olive oil
Optional Toppings
- 2–4 eggs (for topping)
- Chopped fresh cilantro or green onions (for garnish)
- Sour cream or avocado slices (for serving)
- Shredded cheddar or pepper jack cheese (optional cheesy finish)
- Prepare Your Ingredients: Peel and dice the Yukon Gold potatoes into small, even cubes. Slice the smoked sausage and dice the bell peppers and onions to ensure even cooking.
- Sauté the Sausage: Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the sausage slices and cook until they develop a nice brown crust, enhancing the flavor base of the hash.
- Cook the Vegetables: Add diced onions, bell peppers, and minced garlic to the skillet with the sausage. Sauté until the onions become translucent and the peppers soften, stirring frequently to prevent burning.
- Add the Potatoes and Spices: Stir in the diced potatoes, chili powder, paprika, salt, and black pepper. Mix well to coat everything evenly and let the potatoes brown slightly on the bottom to form crispy edges.
- Cover and Cook Through: Reduce the heat to low, cover the skillet, and let the potatoes steam until tender, about 10-15 minutes. Stir occasionally to avoid sticking and to allow the flavors to meld.
- Optional Egg Topping: If desired, crack eggs directly onto the hash, cover again, and cook until egg whites are set but yolks remain runny, adding richness to the dish.
Notes
- Use medium heat to prevent burning while allowing potatoes to crisp.
- Don’t rush the browning process to develop golden-crispy edges on potatoes.
- Microwaving diced potatoes briefly before cooking can speed up the process.
- Choose a high-quality smoked sausage for best flavor.
- Use fresh chili powder and paprika for maximum smokiness.
- Recipe is naturally gluten free.
- Vegetarian and vegan variations can be made by swapping sausage for plant-based alternatives like smoked tempeh or mushrooms.
