I have a confession, I’m not a food blogger — just a mom who loves to cook. When I started out, my recipes were good, but my pictures were bad. Really bad.
Since then, I’ve learned a little about photography and improved some (I hope), but I’m still just a mom who cooks and sometimes, I get tired of writing elaborate descriptions of recipes, because, really… who reads those anyway?

Rather than attempting to write a fancy description about how delicious, delectable, perfectly balanced, and ______ (insert other over-used food word here) this recipe is, I’ll let its simplicity speak for itself.
Sausage & sweet potato hash isn’t fancy, and I wouldn’t serve it at a dinner party (unless it was a dinner party centered on watching sports), but it is a quick meal option that my children absolutely love and that is super simple to make.
Sweet Potato Hash + Sausage and Apples…
= Easy Make-Ahead Breakfast!
My favorite thing about this recipe is that I can make most of it ahead of time. I usually work through the first few steps one night while making another dinner. With the oven and stove already on, it isn’t any extra work and then I have a protein rich breakfast ready to go.

This recipe is my nieces favorite. If I don’t make it for any holiday, she is disappointed. She has put in a request for this at Thanksgiving, and if course I will be making it again for her…and the rest of us!
Big hit, great flavors!
I’m replying on a certain recipe, but this is actually a very general comment.
I really like your website, and very much relate to the wholesome natural attitude towards living.
Also, as a biologist and a medical student and researcher, I believe that most of these little natural changes we make, whether cosmetic or dietary, really do have a cumulative effect on our health.
What I don’t seem to understand, though, is how you still feed on dairy and meat and eggs.
You spoke about how we don’t eat grains the way we *used* to, but the dairy/meat industry is just the same.
And it’s not only on the health level – animals being crammed into tiny spaces, not being able to wonder freely which keeps them healthy (and in turn, us healthy), and are fed with antibiotics to prevent them from becoming sick due to these exact same conditions.. And in anyway – meat and dairy just aren’t healthy, it is kind of a scientifically consensus (especially pork and beef, but were getting there).
But what I really think is that GOD never intended us to eat meat this way. Those days there were less humans, and animals were treated with respect, not in a systematically industrial way that needs to supply enormous amounts of meat and dairy… I’m sure in the days of Jesus calves weren’t cruelly divided from their mothers..
God intended us to rule the animals with kindness, and like we do, so by eating meat and dairy and eggs – we are creating for our-self’s a terrible karma
That’s why I recommend buying from local farmers whenever possible, so you know the source of where your food is coming from, and when not possible, to purchase organic fed, free-range options…
Have you ever tried throwing some of this hash into a food processor and making a baby food puree? Do you think it would work?
Give it a try and see!
This turned out great. I substituted Japanese sweet potatoes (they taste like chestnuts when raw) just to be a little different, and it still tastes great.
Thank you for such a great post! I love delicious and easy to make meals 🙂 Could you share a bit about how you improved our photography skills? e.g. Do you have a special camera (or just use your iPhone), did you take a course, etc. etc. Also, how long have you had your blog up? Would love to know how long it too you to go from bad photos to good photos! Thank you so much.
This looks so yummy, can’t wait to try!! Our favorite go to meal is taco bowls, easy to pull together and everyone loves them… my son even prefers them to regular tacos with tortillas! Thank you so much for all you do, you rock!
Hi im a 48 yr old single father of two young children living in a homeless shelter. We are required to use a microwave only but some rules were mad to be broken. Especially where my kids are concerned. They have never eaten food from a box nor will they ever I only have a toaster oven and a couple of electric pots and pans. I want to thank you for some really easy nutritious ideas for the limited resources I have. sausage and sweet potato hash will be on my kids plates for dinner tonight thanks again.
Paul – So amazing that you cook for your children despite your limited resources. What a touching and inspiring post! Great job and the very best to you and your children.

Your recipes are delicious, I do have one problem with most of your recipes. The preparation time: 5 min. Unless you have 30 people working on any one of those recipes, it is impossible to prepare in 5 min. Please let me know why the prep time is always 5 min.
Good question- not sure why it is like that. I will look into this…
Love your website and your cookbook!! I have tried making these twice and both times my batter was very runny .. Any ideas what I am doing wrong? Thanks!
I have made this recipe several times and it’s one of my favorites! I always make more than enough so we can have leftovers.
I absolutely love u! You are so amazing! I loved food babe. You introduced me to her but honestly I can’t afford to pay attention lately or really since I married 15 years ago. We have always been in debt with funerals and doctors . I won’t go into detail but it’s pretty bad! I’m so thankful that I can access all of your amazing information at no cost because if it cost I couldn’t do it. I wanna buy your book and will when I can. But for now I just want to shake your hand and say what a God send! Thank u a million times over. I try always when I order products you mention to go through your sight so that u benifit . Thank you again and again for letting that be enough and know that u are makeing a difference and changing people’s lives! Awesome down to earth recipe!
Dave Ramsey is a fantastic free resource for getting a handle on all those bills. His plan has changed our lives.
Precooked sweet potatoes, diced ham, chunk pineapple mixed together and heated through. Simple but tasty blend of textures and flavors.
Dang! I was really trying to get sausage out of my life and here you go posting a recipe with my favorite ingredients. Yeah, I could substitute chicken as you said, but I probably won’t.
I’m still in the “bad food photos” phase but I’m learning. Your photos are awesome. And yes, people do ready the fancy description of the recipe!
This looks amazing. Thanks SOOOO Much for all of your AMAZING recipes. I have yet to try one that has failed me. So thankful for you and your blog. You stand apart from other bloggers. Such a BLESSING. Thanks again!
Looks delicious. Will have to try this.
Mmmm…sounds so good!! And my little guy and I love sweet potatoes! The hubby not so much but he’ll eat them for us 🙂 And I think our go to dinner when we are running late (which isn’t too often) and need something really fast is fried eggs and sourdough toast (or some leftover potatoes/veggies) with kerrygold butter 🙂 Not the most balanced meal but delicious and really fast!!
All that sugar from the sweet potatoes and apples – plus the carbohydrates from the starches – perhaps substituting courgettes and cauliflower would be a better idea, and make sure that the sausage is low carb – they can be organic and still be full of carbohydrates from rusk.
