Choosing Your Sausage
We love using a lighter breakfast sausage such as chicken or turkey, but this hash will work great with a variety sausage types! Kielbasa is one of our other go-to’s when we don’t have breakfast sausage on hand.
We recommend buying sausage links and cutting them into half-circles for quick pan searing.
Tips for Perfect Breakfast Hash
- Par-boil potatoes – this gets a head-start on cooking the potatoes. Make sure not to overcook them here, you want them just a little firm.
- Cut vegetables into uniform size – we want all the vegetables to cook at the same rate, so try to make them as uniform as possible.
- Sear hash ingredients in batches – this might seem like extra work, but this cooking method helps ensure that everything will crisp up and cook evenly. First you’ll cook the sausage, then the vegetables, and finally the potatoes.
- Don’t stir potatoes – when searing the potatoes for hash, the less stirring the better. This allows the potatoes to crisp up perfectly golden brown and then you’ll flip them to the other side.
Recipe Variations
Try these ideas for a different twist on this hash.
- Try different veggies – sweet pepper, asparagus, or green beans would be great in this hash.
- Skip the meat – you can easily make this hash vegetarian by replacing the meat with a meatless sausage or more veggies and potatoes.
- Try a different meat – you can replace the sausage with cooked chicken, brisket, or bacon bits.
- Change up the toppings – you’ve gotta have an egg on your hash, but feel free to use your favorite cheese and fresh herb.
Make Ahead Instructions
Follow these instructions for make-ahead tips.
- Par-boil potatoes in advance – the potatoes can be par-boiled and stored in refrigerator up to 3 days.

- 1 lb yellow potatoes, cut into 1/2-in cubes
- 4 tablespoons vegetable oil, divided
- 13 oz chicken sausage, halved width-wise and thinly sliced
- 1 medium zucchini, cut into 1/2-in cubes

- 1 small red onion, finely diced
- 1 cup cherry tomatoes, halved
- 2 medium cloves garlic, minced
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Eggs (cooked your preferred way), grated Parmesan cheese, and fresh basil for topping
Instructions
- Place potatoes in a medium pot of lightly salted water, just enough to cover potatoes. Bring potatoes to a boil over medium-high heat, then reduce heat to medium and let potatoes simmer until just barely tender, about 5-8 minutes (a paring knife should go through a cube with just a bit of resistance) Drain potatoes and pat dry with paper towels.
- Heat 1 tablespoon vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add chicken sausage in a single layer and sear on both sides until golden brown. Remove from pan and set aside.
- In same skillet, heat 1 tablespoon vegetable oil over medium-high heat. Add zucchini, summer squash, and red onion and saute 4-6 minutes until vegetables are tender and lightly browned. Add cherry tomatoes and garlic and cook 1 additional minute until fragrant. Remove from pan and set aside.
- In same skillet, heat remaining 2 tablespoons vegetable oil over medium-high heat. Add pre-cooked potatoes in a single layer in pan. Let potatoes cook without stirring 3-5 minutes until crispy, then use spatula to flip to opposite side and cook an additional 3-5 minutes until crispy.
- Add chicken sausage and sauteed vegetable mixture to potatoes and toss until evenly combined. Season hash with salt and pepper to taste and top individual servings with eggs, Parmesan, and fresh basil. Enjoy!
