Chicken Sausage Potato Hash

Jump to Recipe·Print Recipe

That yolk, though. It goes perfectly over this chicken sausage potato hash.

What makes potato hash so darn good

You guys.  Before I go in to the whole egg thing {I have lots to say}, I need to update you on my Madison adventure.  

This is home now, kind of, but I srsly still don't have a kitchen that suits my needs.  

And it's okay, because as I type this to you, I am sitting at a cafe on Atwood St., drinking 'agave wine' {I had no idea} with pomegranate juice and lime.  

Plus, I'm having roasted summer veggie enchiladas and there's enough here for tomorrow's lunch.  Win-win.  I love it here.  The people, my job, the culture, the lakes.  It's incredible!  

I tell you what, though, I SRSLY MISS MY KITTEN FRIENDS AND MY HUSBAND.  Where are they?  

Oh yeah, almost 2 hours away and our house just sold and wow, it's just all really happening.

It's so crazy, and I'm exhausted, but it's so fun.  I am going to miss our very first home {tear, it just sold}, but let the house hunt begin!  Husband + Kittens + gas range = PRIORITY.  Amiright? 

So, back to that egg.

How to make chicken sausage potato hash

Okay, tell me, is there anything as satisfying as a super-runny, fresh yolky egg.  It's, like, nature's perfect sauce.  

It's rich, decadent, luxurious and gives the dish so much depth and beautiful color. 

And, the fun thing about eggs is that they automatically make whatever you put them on breakfast.  The Big B.  

For most of us, this is our favorite meal.  And if an egg can transform pasta, nachos, tacos, and grain salads into breakfast, I am all ears.  Or in this case, mouth.  Whatever you call it, I'm game.  

Because I'm gonna eat it.  Plus, it's just so satisfying to cook the perfect fried egg.  Although, this is not an easy task.  

It has taken several years for me to perfect the almighty fried egg, but IT'S HERE, friends.  All you have to do is cook it real low and slow in a nonstick pan {this is a very important step} with the lid on, and next thing you know, you have this amazing egg -- where the yolk is runny and the white is perfectly tender.  

I mean, who really needs the hash? Just kidding, I need the chicken sausage potato hash.

Okay, well let's not dog the hash, here.  

Because it's pretty miraculous, too.  It's purple potatoes, guys, and they are -- second to that gorgeous egg yolk -- the most beautiful thing on earth. PURPLE POTATOES?  

Who would've even known?  I just came across them a few years ago at the farmer's market, and my life has never been the same.  Now, I absolutely love a good Yukon, and even a red skin potato, but the purple is second to none.  

It's color just brings so much delight to this hash, and to anything else you may put them with {remember those breakfast tacos I was talking about?  With the egg?}.

Seriously, dynamite.

I did make this hash with a mix of taters, just to make sure no one feels left out.  And then, we have some really spicy and smokey chicken sausage in there, and this is a serious home run.

But.  I would be neglecting life if I didn't mention the smoked paprika, because it's my favorite spice that exists.  

It's smoky {who could resist} and it also has that bright, red pretty color that brings the dish to life.

So there it is.  The most perfect hash on the planet.  

And I won't tell if you have it for breakfast, lunch, dinner or a snack, or just eat it whenever you want and call it whatever you want.  

You'll be hooked, friends.

Print Recipe

Simple crispy potato and chicken sausage hash with over-easy eggs.

  • Author: Julie Andrews
  • Prep Time: 10-15 mins
  • Cook Time: 15-20 mins
  • Total Time: 25-35 mins
  • Yield: Serves 4
  • Category: Breakfast
  • Method: Stove-Top, Baking
  • Cuisine: American

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • ½ yellow onion, diced
  • ½-pound purple or mixed potatoes, thinly sliced
  • 3-4 links chicken sausage, thinly sliced
  • 2-3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 tablespoon smoked paprika
  • 1 ½ teaspoon ground cumin
  • ½ teaspoon coarse salt
  • Pinch freshly black pepper
  • Cooking spray or butter
  • 4 large eggs
  • Crusty bread, for dipping

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 375 degrees.
  2. Heat oil in a cast iron skillet to medium-high heat. Add onion and saute 2-3 minutes, until translucent. Add purple potatoes and saute 3-5 minutes, until they start to brown on the outside. Add chicken sausage and saute 2-3 more minutes. Add garlic and saute 30 seconds. Stir in one tablespoon smoked paprika, cumin and a large dash of coarse salt and ground black pepper. Place in the oven and bake 8-12 minutes, until potatoes are tender; remove from the oven and allow to cool for a few minutes. Taste hash and adjust seasoning, if necessary.
  3. While potatoes and sausage cook in the oven, prepare eggs. Heat a greased medium nonstick skillet to medium-low heat. When pan is hot, crack eggs in the pan. Sprinkle with salt and black pepper. Cover the pan with a lid and reduce heat to low. Allow eggs to cook 3-5 minutes, until egg white has cooked, but the yolk is perfectly running.
  4. Serve fried eggs on top of hash and serve with crusty bread.

Notes

Cooking Tip: In the summertime, try multi-colored potatoes!

      Hi Rick! Al fresco brand chicken sausages has spicy jalapeno and spicy chipotle varieties, Applegate has an andouille chicken and turkey sausage, and Johnsonville has a chipotle and jack smoked sausage - these are all good. I also love Gilbert's brand sausages! Enjoy 🙂
