Now that school has started, sometimes the days get away from me. I find myself scratching my head at 5pm and wondering what in the world we’re going to eat for dinner. I hate it when that happens. But when it does, I try to have a few tricks up my sleeve so we can still have a healthy meal. Sweet potato hash happens to be one of those tricks!
This recipe is healthy, easy, fast, and tasty = recipe for busy day success!
Sweet Potato Hash
Servings: 4
Calories: 468kcal
Ingredients
- 1 Large Sweet Potato
- 1 Pound Ground Sausage or use ground pork and make your own sausage
- 3-4 Tablespoons Coconut Oil
- 1 Tablespoon Cinnamon
- Salt to taste
Instructions
- Shred your sweet potato. You can do this by hand, but I prefer to use my food processors shredding attachment - this saves me oodles of time (this inexpensive food processor has been a workhorse and served us well for over 5 years now).
- Cook your ground sausage in a skillet then set it aside.
- Melt the coconut oil in a large skillet. Fry the shredded sweet potato in the coconut oil. Let it brown on one side, then flip it.
- Once the sweet potatoes have been browned and cooked through, add the cooked sausage, cinnamon, and salt. Toss it all together.
- Watch your kids scarf it down!

*Note: There is no way this recipe will feed all the hungry boys in my house. I typically double the recipe and serve it with fruit and some fried eggs. If I have extra time, I’ll whip up some bacon, strawberry pudding (recipe coming soon), and cinnamon muffins (as pictured above).
I’m sorry – I tried to read the post. I really did. But I was distracted by the bacon picture. BACON!!!!
Thanks for linking at Trim Healthy Tuesday.
Oh, and please finish your book. Like yesterday. I want it.
These sound wonderful. I’ve got to try them sometime. Pinning! Thanks for sharing them at Wake Up Wednesdays.
We’re making this for dinner tonight!
I hope you enjoy it! I have to make SO much of it when I make it because my boys scarf it down.
This sounds great, and sweet potato is very good for my “SHELTIE’S”, but what protein can you substitute for pork sausage??? This would be different for my babes, and the coconut oil is also good to fry for them..
I’m not sure… beef maybe?
Thank You, I might just try 90% ground beef…
You can always use some spices and make some beef sausage too! I think that’s part of why I really like the recipe. 🙂
