Ingredients
Scale
Potatoes and Seasoning
- 4 large potatoes (Yukon Gold or Russet), diced
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 teaspoon salt
- ½ teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
- 1 teaspoon paprika
Sausage and Vegetables
- 12 oz Italian sausage, sliced (or preferred variety)
- 1 small onion, diced
- 1 red bell pepper, diced
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
Spicy Tomato Butter
- 1 can (14 oz) diced tomatoes, drained
- 3 tablespoons unsalted butter
- ½ teaspoon red pepper flakes (adjust to taste)
Garnish
- Fresh herbs for garnish (parsley or cilantro)
Instructions
- Preheat the oven: Set the oven to 400°F (200°C) to prepare for roasting the potatoes.
- Prepare the potatoes: In a large bowl, toss the diced potatoes with olive oil, salt, pepper, and paprika until they are evenly coated to ensure they roast with great flavor.
- Roast the potatoes: Spread the potatoes evenly on a baking sheet and roast them in the oven for about 20 minutes, tossing halfway through to ensure even browning, until they are golden and crispy.
- Cook the sausage: While the potatoes roast, heat a skillet over medium heat and brown the sliced sausage for 5-7 minutes until thoroughly cooked and slightly caramelized.
- Sauté vegetables: Add the diced onion and red bell pepper to the skillet and cook for about 5 minutes until they soften, developing a sweet aroma and texture.
- Add garlic: Stir in the minced garlic and sauté for 1-2 minutes until fragrant, being careful not to burn it.
- Combine potatoes with sausage and vegetables: Transfer the roasted potatoes into the skillet and gently mix everything together, combining the savory sausage, tender vegetables, and crispy potatoes evenly.
- Prepare spicy tomato butter: In a small saucepan over low heat, melt the unsalted butter, then add the drained diced tomatoes and red pepper flakes. Simmer for 3-5 minutes to meld the flavors into a rich, spicy sauce.
- Coat the hash: Drizzle the spicy tomato butter over the potato and sausage mixture, tossing lightly to ensure every bite is infused with the tomato spice butter.
- Serve and garnish: Serve the hash hot, sprinkled with fresh herbs such as parsley or cilantro to add brightness and a fresh finish.
Notes
- You can adjust the red pepper flakes to your desired heat level to make the dish milder or spicier.
- For a gluten-free version, ensure the sausage is gluten-free.
- This hash can be topped with a fried or poached egg for extra protein and richness.
- Leftovers reheat well in a skillet or oven to retain crispiness.
- Using Yukon Gold potatoes will create a creamier texture, while Russet potatoes yield a crispier roast.
