🧾 The Ingredients:
Here is the list of ingredients you will need to make this sweet potato apple hash.
- Sweet Potatoes: Loaded with vitamins, minerals, and such a satisfying carbohydrate to fuel you up for the day.
- Apples: You can use any variation you prefer here, but a red apple with a mild flavor will provide the best flavor balance.
- Breakfast Sausage: Your main protein source! Pork sausage has great flavor and really plays on those comforting fall savory herbs.
- Onion: Fresh chopped onion will provide a nice backdrop flavor and just a touch of savory sweetness after being caramelized.
- Fresh Thyme: I prefer to use fresh thyme for this, but feel free to use dried if that is what you have on hand.
- Dairy Free Butter: This will be your cooking oil source for sautéing your vegetables. I like using diary free butter here instead of oil as it gives this hash a nice comforting flavor.
