Sausage, Pepper and Mushroom Hash

Last weekend I pulled out my chef’s knife and big cutting board then went to town chopping fresh vegetables and smoked sausage before sauteing them until crisp and sizzling. Sausage, Pepper and Mushroom Hash was supposed to be an impromptu brunch but it turned out so well I had to recreate it for you!

What’s Inside

Creamy Yukon gold potatoes, green bell pepper, red onion, sliced mushrooms, and kielbasa sausage are sauteed until the potatoes and sausage develop a crispy golden crust, and the pepper and unions are tender and caramelized, then the whole dish gets smothered in drippy egg yolk.

This recipe is for my fellow foodies with an APPETITE! Meat and potatoes at its finest.

Meals like this are not only fun to create – from methodically chopping the vegetables, to watching them turn golden brown and crisp – but they’ve got a way of making me feel instantly better about anything I’m stressing out about. Comfort food’s got a way of doing that. So does not having to do a truck load of dishes.

Did I mention this is a one-skillet dish?!

How to Make this Recipe

Start by preheating a large (I mean huge!) cast iron or heavy-bottomed skillet over medium/medium-high heat (we’re looking for a 6/10 on the heat scale,) then add extra virgin olive oil and Yukon gold potatoes that have been chopped into 1/2″ cubes. Preheating the skillet will give the potatoes a nearly-instant crust as soon as they settle in.

Shake the skillet to get the potatoes into an even layer then season with salt and pepper and saute, stirring occasionally, until crisp and tender, 10-12 minutes.

Scoop the potatoes onto a plate then turn the heat up to high and add a bit more oil to the skillet. Add chopped bell pepper and red onion, plus sliced mushrooms and Kielbasa sausage then saute until the vegetables are caramelized and tender, another 10-12 minutes.

Don’t be scared if your skillet is overflowing at this point – it will get easier to stir as the vegetables soften and shrink down! Finally add minced garlic cloves and chopped basil leaves then saute for 1 more minute.

Add the potatoes back into the skillet then stir everything to combine. Plate the hash then top with eggs cooked your way and dig in! Ferociously filling, savory, and hearty, there is no way you’re going to leave the table feeling unsatisfied after this meal. Enjoy!
