Ingredients
Scale
Potato Hash
- 4 large potatoes (Yukon Gold or Russet), diced
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 teaspoon salt
- ½ teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 12 oz Italian sausage, sliced (or preferred variety)
- 1 small onion, diced
- 1 red bell pepper, diced
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
Spicy Tomato Butter
- 1 can (14 oz) diced tomatoes, drained
- 3 tablespoons unsalted butter
- ½ teaspoon red pepper flakes (adjust to taste)
- Fresh herbs for garnish (parsley or cilantro)
Instructions
- Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) to get ready for roasting the potatoes perfectly.
- Prepare Potatoes: In a large bowl, toss the diced potatoes with olive oil, salt, black pepper, and paprika until they are fully coated with the seasoning.
- Roast Potatoes: Spread the seasoned potatoes evenly on a baking sheet. Roast them in the preheated oven for 20 minutes, tossing halfway through, until they are golden brown and crispy on the outside.
- Brown Sausage: Meanwhile, heat a skillet over medium heat. Add the sausage slices and cook for 5 to 7 minutes until they are browned and cooked through.
- Sauté Vegetables: Add the diced onion and red bell pepper to the skillet with the sausage. Cook together until the vegetables have softened, about 5 minutes.
- Add Garlic: Stir in the minced garlic and sauté for 1 to 2 minutes until the garlic becomes fragrant but not burnt.
- Combine Potatoes and Sausage Mixture: Transfer the roasted potatoes into the skillet with the sausage and vegetables. Gently mix everything together to combine all the flavors evenly.
- Prepare Spicy Tomato Butter: In a small saucepan over low heat, melt the unsalted butter. Add the drained diced tomatoes and red pepper flakes and let the mixture simmer for 3 to 5 minutes to meld the flavors.
- Add Tomato Butter to Hash: Drizzle the spicy tomato butter over the potato and sausage hash. Toss lightly to coat all the ingredients evenly with the sauce.
- Garnish and Serve: Serve the hash hot, garnished with fresh herbs such as parsley or cilantro for added freshness and color.
Notes
- Adjust the red pepper flakes to control the heat level according to your preference.
- Use Yukon Gold potatoes for creamier texture or Russet potatoes for crispiness.
- Drain canned tomatoes well to prevent the hash from becoming too watery.
- For a vegetarian version, substitute sausage with plant-based sausage or extra vegetables.
- This dish can be served with eggs on the side for a complete breakfast or brunch.
