Average Rating: 4

TOTAL TIME: Prep/Total Time: 30 min.
YIELD: 4 servings.

Ingredients

  • 1/2 pound maple pork sausage
  • 1 large sweet potato, peeled and cut into 1/2-inch pieces
  • 1 medium red onion, chopped
  • 2 teaspoons chili powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon plus 1/8 teaspoon salt, divided
  • 1/4 teaspoon plus 1/8 teaspoon pepper, divided
  • 1/2 cup shredded cheddar cheese
  • 1 tablespoon butter
  • 4 large eggs
  • Salsa, optional

Instructions

  • 1. In a large nonstick skillet, cook sausage over medium heat 4-6 minutes or until no longer pink, breaking into crumbles; drain. Stir in sweet potato, onion, chili powder and 1/4 teaspoon each salt and pepper. Cook, uncovered, 15-20 minutes or until potatoes are tender, stirring occasionally. Remove from heat. Sprinkle with cheese; cover and let stand until cheese is melted.
  • 2. Meanwhile, in another nonstick skillet, heat butter over medium-high heat. Break eggs, 1 at a time, into pan; immediately reduce heat to low. Cook, covered, 5-6 minutes or until whites are completely set and yolks just begin to thicken. If desired, carefully turn eggs and cook second side to preferred doneness. Sprinkle with the remaining salt and pepper. Serve hash with eggs and, if desired, salsa.
