What is Sweet Potato Breakfast Hash? Our Harvest Hash is a healthy spin on traditional hash and an easy recipe for your next brunch or even for breakfast for dinner. Traditionally breakfast hash comes from the word “to chop” and often consists of meat,  potatoes and onions. Originally used as a way to utilize leftovers.  We adapted this recipe for vegetarians by using turkey sausage and adding in extra vegetables like Brussels Sprouts and fruit like Granny Smith apples and using sweet potatoes. This dish is so colorful, it looks like a fall festive extravaganza.

Take a look, give it a try and let us know if you like it as much as we do! This recipe is budget-friendly, easy, dairy-free, gluten-free and diabetes-friendly. Actually, our recipes are made and even photographed by our team of Registered Dietitians to illustrate healthier spins on traditional recipes so that you can have the same great taste with basic modifications to make the recipe fit most medical conditions that are better managed with proper nutrition.  This recipe is gluten-free, diabetes friendly, dairy free, nut fee and PCOS friendly.  What a great way to start the day on a cold winter morning with this tasty hash.
