Ingredients
Scale
Potatoes
- 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 Oven: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) to prepare for roasting the potatoes.
- Prepare Potatoes: In a large bowl, toss the diced potatoes with olive oil, salt, freshly ground black pepper, and paprika until they are thoroughly coated.
- Roast Potatoes: Spread the seasoned potatoes evenly on a baking sheet and roast in the preheated oven for about 20 minutes, tossing them halfway through to ensure even crispiness and golden color.
- Cook Sausage: While the potatoes roast, heat a skillet over medium heat and brown the sausage slices for 5-7 minutes until fully cooked and lightly caramelized.
- Sauté Vegetables: Add the diced onion and red bell pepper to the skillet with the sausage. Cook together until the vegetables soften, approximately 5 minutes.
- Add Garlic: Stir in the minced garlic and sauté for 1-2 minutes until fragrant, being careful not to burn it.
- Combine Potatoes and Sausage Mix: Transfer the roasted potatoes into the skillet and gently mix all ingredients to combine the flavors well.
- Make Spicy Tomato Butter: In a small saucepan, melt the unsalted butter over low heat. Add the drained diced tomatoes and red pepper flakes, then simmer gently for 3-5 minutes to meld the flavors together.
- Dress the Hash: Drizzle the spicy tomato butter over the potato and sausage hash, tossing lightly to coat everything evenly with the flavorful sauce.
- Serve: Serve the hash hot, garnished with fresh herbs like parsley or cilantro for an added burst of freshness and color.
Notes
- You can substitute Italian sausage with your favorite sausage variety such as chorizo or breakfast sausage.
- Adjust the amount of red pepper flakes in the tomato butter to control the spice level according to your preference.
- For extra crispiness, ensure potatoes are spread out evenly and avoid overcrowding the baking sheet.
- Fresh herbs such as parsley or cilantro add a bright finishing touch but can be omitted or replaced with chives.
- Use Yukon Gold potatoes for a creamier texture or Russet potatoes for a fluffier interior.
