Sweet Potato Hash with Turkey Sausage and Eggs

Ingredients

• Sweet potato 150 g
• Turkey sausage 3 links (~113.4g)
• Eggs 2 large
• Olive oil 1 tbsp
• Onion 1/4 cup

Method

1. Prepare the ingredients. Wash and peel the sweet potato, then dice it into small, even cubes about 1/2 inch in size. Dice 1/4 cup of onion finely. Keep the turkey sausage links and eggs ready.
   Tip: Cutting the sweet potato into uniform pieces helps them cook evenly.
2. Cook the turkey sausage. Heat a large non-stick skillet over medium heat. Add the turkey sausage links whole and cook for about 5 minutes, turning occasionally, until browned and cooked through. Remove from the skillet and set aside. Once slightly cooled, slice into bite-sized pieces.
   Tip: Make sure the sausage is cooked fully by checking that the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C).
3. Cook the sweet potato and onion. In the same skillet, add 1 tablespoon of olive oil. Once hot, add the diced onion and sauté for 2 minutes until translucent. Add the diced sweet potato cubes, season lightly with salt and pepper, and cook for about 8 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the sweet potatoes are tender and slightly caramelized.
   Tip: Covering the skillet with a lid for a few minutes helps the sweet potatoes cook through faster.
4. Combine sausage with sweet potato hash. Add the sliced turkey sausage back into the skillet with the cooked sweet potatoes and onions. Stir well to combine and heat through for 2 minutes.
   Tip: Mix gently to keep the sweet potato cubes intact.
5. Cook the eggs. In a separate small non-stick pan, lightly grease with a bit of olive oil or cooking spray. Crack the two eggs and cook them sunny side up or to your preferred doneness, about 3-4 minutes for sunny side up.
   Tip: Use a lid to cover the pan briefly to help the egg whites set without overcooking the yolks.
6. Plate and serve. Transfer the sweet potato hash with turkey sausage onto a plate. Top with the cooked eggs. Serve immediately while hot.
   Tip: Add freshly ground black pepper or a sprinkle of fresh herbs like parsley for extra flavor.

Pro tips

• Dicing the sweet potato uniformly ensures even cooking and prevents some pieces from being undercooked.
• Cooking the sausage first allows the pan to have flavorful drippings that enhance the taste of the sweet potato and onions.
