Sweet Potato and Apple Hash with Sausage

Ingredients

• 2 medium Sweet Potatoes
• 1 large Apple
• 1 pound Sausage
• 1/2 Onion
• 2 tablespoons Olive Oil
• 1/2 teaspoon Salt
• 1/4 teaspoon Black Pepper
• 2 tablespoons Maple Syrup

Instructions

1. 1Using a sharp knife, cut the 2 medium sweet potatoes into 1/2-inch (1.25 cm) cubes. Cut the 1 large apple into 1/2-inch (1.25 cm) cubes. Dice the 1/2 onion into 1/4-inch (0.6 cm) pieces.
2. 2Place a large (e.g., 12-inch or 30 cm) skillet on the stovetop. Add the 2 tablespoons of olive oil and heat over medium heat (approximately 350°F / 175°C) for 1 minute. Add the 1 pound of sausage to the hot skillet, breaking it apart with a spoon. Cook for 8-10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the sausage is browned and cooked through, reaching an internal temperature of 160°F (71°C). Carefully drain any excess grease from the skillet.
3. 3Add the diced 1/2 onion to the skillet with the cooked sausage. Continue to cook over medium heat for 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the onion pieces are softened and translucent.
4. 4Add the diced 2 medium sweet potatoes and the diced 1 large apple to the skillet. Cook for 15-20 minutes over medium heat, stirring every few minutes, until the sweet potatoes are tender when pierced with a fork and have a slightly caramelized appearance.
5. 5Remove the skillet from the heat. Stir in the 1/2 teaspoon of salt and the 1/4 teaspoon of black pepper. Drizzle the 2 tablespoons of maple syrup evenly over the hash and stir to combine all ingredients.
6. 6Serve the Sweet Potato and Apple Hash with Sausage immediately while hot.
