This delicious apple sausage breakfast hash only has 5 ingredients, the instructions are SUPER simple (like maybe the simplest recipe I’ve ever created), and it only takes about 25 minutes to throw together! Oh, and it’s packed with flavor. I love this dish for a casual family breakfast, but it’s also special enough to serve to guests at a nice brunch!

Truth be told, this recipe was a complete accident. I threw it together when we needed a quick, filling brunch one weekend and I hadn’t planned anything for lunch that day. We had limited ingredients in the house since this was in the middle of the Covid-19 pandemic and we are trying to only go to the grocery store once every 2 weeks. And I’m pretty sure that it was actually the day before we were supposed to make our biweekly trip.

So we were low on ingredients. I had to rely on my creativity to throw something easy, delicious, and healthy together with just minimal ingredients. That’s really where the magic happens though! It’s times like that that I often make the best recipes! My creative side is forced out and fun dishes like this emerge! It’s a fun challenge and usually really rewarding!

As written, this recipe is Whole30-approved, paleo, gluten free, and has a dairy free option. It can also easily be made low carb with a couple of easy substitutions!

    Prep Time: 8 minutes
    Cook Time: 17 minutes
    Servings: 4 servings

    Ingredients 

    • 2 Tbsp grass-fed butter ghee, or avocado oil
    • 4 chicken and apple breakfast sausages 13oz/370g, sliced
    • 1 lb baby potatoes diced (about 8 small baby potatoes) (*see notes for low carb option)
    • 3 stalks celery sliced
    • 1 medium yellow onion chopped
    • 1/2 tsp sea salt
    • 2 medium apples diced

    Instructions

    • Melt butter in a large skillet over medium heat.
    • When the pan is hot, add all ingredients except apple and cook for 15 minutes or until potatoes are tender. Stir about every 1-2 minutes. Do not stir too often. You want to allow the potatoes and sausage to brown and prevent sticking. 
    • Add apples and cook for 2 more minutes, stirring occasionally.
    • Enjoy!

    Notes

    *To make this recipe low carb, you can use rutabaga or turnip instead of potatoes. If you want to reduce the carbs even more you can also use jicama instead of apples. And, of course, be sure to check the total sugar content of the sausage you choose.
    **I use my 15-inch Lodge cast iron skillet for this recipe. You want to use a really large skillet so that everything can brown and cook evenly. If the pan is overcrowded then the ingredients will steam instead of brown properly. I love my 15-inch cast iron skillet and use it for everything! It seems really big, but it's so practical, even for a family of 3 like us!
