How Do You Make Sweet Potato Hash?
Who would have ever thought to use a cheese grater to make sweet hash browns? NOT ME. When we were in San Miguel, Lin’s mother-in-law made us a sweet potato kale hash protein bowl similar to this one and that’s what she used to grate the sweet potato. GENIUS. Here’s how simple it really is…
Step 1: Peel sweet potato. This step is actually optional, but for classic sweet potato hash, you’ll want to make sure your sweet potatoes are peeled.
Step 2: Place a large bowl or plate on your countertop and plop your cheese grater on top.
Step 3: Grate your sweet potato using the medium grate size. You can really use any size you want, but for this recipe, you’ll want your sweet potato hash browns to be medium.

We picked up some delicious pre-cooked chicken sausage for this recipe. You are more than welcome to use uncooked, but pre-cooked is just so much easier. Some of our favorite pre-cooked chicken sausages with no antibiotics includes: Aidell’s and Applegate,

This weekend was super chill. On Saturday Lin and I did a few recipes and then ventured to the outlet malls to see what kind of deals we could find. FUN FACT: I NEVER buy anything full price…unless it’s from Lululemon and even then I get my R&D discount. Guess where we struck gold?
OLD NAVY.
Crazy, right? I haven’t shopped at Old Navy since I was in middle school, but they are stepping up their game and their stuff is SUPER reasonably priced! I got a bunch of tanks, a cute dress, and a romper. We also got some really cute sweaters from the LOFT outlet for $3.88. Another FUN FACT: In Minnesota, clothes are not taxed. JACKPOT.
On Saturday night, I watched a soccer game and then literally went to bed at 8:45 PM. I had to get up at 4:45 that morning to take my brother to the airport, so I was exhausted by 9 PM. I don’t even care because 8:45 PM was really like 9:45 PM with daylight savings 😛 Sunday was pretty chill too. I went to a coffee shop in the AM and then met my PEC gym friends for a St. Patty’s Day brunch at Morrissey’s Irish Pub after they did an 8 mile run around the lake. Unfortunately, I can’t run at the moment (THANK YOU BROKEN FOOT…STORY COMING TOMORROW!), so I scored us a table. At least I’m good for something. Everyone ordered bloody’s, but I think they are gross (who is with me!), so I got a cider. NOM.
Mmm this would go really nicely with a runny egg on too! Looks delicious. ?
You read my mind!
I would have never thought to use peeled sweet potatoes in a hash! Yum!
This is a great recipe. So easy to make vegetarian as well.
I make sweet potato hash almost every week, but I’ve never tried grating the sweet potatoes — what a good idea! Trader Joe’s sausage selection is also my favorite. There are so many good options to choose from.
I sort of made this tonight and it was a hit with the family. Store bought sausage has never agreed with me (sorry if TMI) so I seasoned some ground turkey and mixed it in. I also grated a whole zucchini and added it to the hash. I didn’t have kale, but I did have baby spinach and it tasted amazing. Thanks for the recipe!!
LOVE LOVE LOVE your turkey modification! Ground meat is so easy to cook with. I hope your fam loved it!
Wish I had more chill weekends…it’s a great time to enjoy this sweet potato kale hash!
Oh, geez. I’m definitely going to make this soon (but meatless). This is my kind of meal.
I recently got back into Old Navy because there’s no Target near my new house. I’ve gotten so many cute, cheap things over the past few months! It’s da best.
NO TARGET OH MY GOSH!
Sweet potato and kale are always an epic combo! I just did a spiralized sweet potato kale bowl last week. It was divine. I haven’t been to Old Navy in ages, but I’m hearing from a lot of people that they have good workout stuff. Maybe a trip is in order!
I LOVE SPIRALIZING SWEET POTATOES. I think orange noodles are EPIC.
I would have never thought to use the cheese grater – awesome! And YES. Paying full price is for suckers! Old Navy has really been stepping up their game the past few years… and their workout clothes are my fave 🙂
Isn’t the cheese grater trick GENIUS?!
EWWW bloody’s! Totally with you on that one and I feel like I am always the only one saying that. Cider for the win always!
Can’t wait to make this! Nommmmm sweet taters!
Seriously bloody’s are disgusting and I hate beer. That’s why I default to cider for brunch…because it’s too early for wine or a hard cocktail 🙂
Using a grater is so smart! And this looks completely delicious! My favorite easy meal is basically some combination of chopped up and sautéed garlic, sweet potatoes, whatever veggies I have on hand, and an egg cracked on top. Love the idea of adding the chicken sausage!
Anything with sweet potato is my kind of meal.
Thanks for the tip about using a cheese grater! Sweet potato hash is one of my favorite things to cook and I love this new way of doing it! Also, Trader Joe’s chicken sausages are so good! I love the variety of flavors.
TRADER JOE’S FOR THE WIN. I never leave that place spending less than $60. Hmph.
Using a grater for the sweet potato is pure genius! Why did i never think of that? This hash looks delightful, Lee! And with and egg on top?
Ugh, I can’t even. Sweet [Potato] dream are made of this….
LOL. Glad to know I’m not the only one who dreams about sweet potatoes 😛
This looks AWESOME! I can’t wait to try it. So genius to grate the sweet potato. D’OH!
Also, I agree with you about Old Navy. They have definitely stepped it up. I’ve purchased a few things from their active line, too. The leggings aren’t too bad! The fabric for the shirts and things is not as nice as higher end lines, but sometimes you just can’t spend that much on a little piece of fabric aka. a tank top.
GO OLD NAVY!!!!

Old Navy is hit or miss for me, but when they have sales it’s like gimme ALL THE THINGS. And you don’t have tax?! Okay I’m coming to visit then! 😉 This hash is gorgeous and it’s definitely going to be my next dinner because I’ve been craving something comforting lately. Thanks for sharing Lee <3
I AM A SUCKER FOR A GOOD SALE. WATCH OUT.
