Sweet Potato Hash

Course: Breakfast, Side Dish, Snack
Calories:

Ingredients

  • 1.5 lbs sweet potatoes peeled and diced
  • 1/3 cup water
  • 1.5 tsp olive oil
  • 2 1 oz links lean turkey breakfast sausage
  • 1 1/4 cups chopped onion
  • 3/4 tsp salt divided
  • 1.5 tbsp all-natural maple syrup
  • 1 tbsp water
  • 1/4 tsp black pepper
  • 1/8 tsp ground nutmeg

Instructions

  • Choose a saucepan that will be large enough to hold the sweet potatoes without crowding them. Fill the pot about half full (or just enough water to cover the sweet potatoes) and add a dash of salt. Bring to a boil. Add sweet potatoes and lower heat to simmer. Cover the pan and cook sweet potatoes until tender, about 25 to 30 minutes. Drain and keep warm.
  • Heat oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Remove casings from sausage. Add onion to pan; sauté 6 minutes or until tender. Add sausage and 1/4 teaspoon salt; cook 4 minutes or until sausage is done, stirring to crumble. Stir in sweet potatoes, 1/2 teaspoon salt, syrup, 1 tablespoon water, pepper, and nutmeg. Cook until liquid is absorbed and sweet potatoes begin to brown (about 5 minutes).
  • Serve. Makes a great side with egg whites!
