Chorizo Mushroom Sweet Potato Hash
Honestly, I don’t know why I’m calling this a breakfast recipe. This sweet potato hash can easily become a breakfast for dinner situation! But hey, let’s say you want to make this for brunch this weekend? Go for it!
This breakfast hash is paleo, whole30 and very easy to make. Plus it tastes delicious with a fried egg on top. But let’s be honest, what doesn’t taste good with a fried egg on it? First thing that comes to mind is my Cuban Bibimbap Bowl.
I digress. To make this sweet potato hash is to first brown the chorizo. Make sure to find a chorizo without any funky ingredients or sugar. Check the ingredients. Once you’ve brown the chorizo, you transfer it to a pan and proceed to making the sweet potatoes.

I used to always make diced sweet potato in the oven but these days I’m really loving making them in a pan. You make sure to dice them small then cover and let the steam from the heat do its thing. Make sure to use enough oil so they don’t burn. Keep an eye on them.
Once the sweet potatoes are tender, make the mushrooms with cumin. And the rest just comes together all in one-pan. Literally the easiest yet heartiest meal ever. YUM!
You can make this breakfast hash a day before and serve it for brunch with fried eggs. If you’re feeling extra, drizzle some of my fire roasted salsa on top. OH YEAH BABY.
I hope you make this and love it!

I made the Chorizo Mushroom Sweet Potato Hash today with great results. This is a terrific recipe. It would be good for company or just a regular day with the family. It’s healthy, flavorful and could be served at breakfast, lunch or dinner. I’ve never commented on a recipe before, but this was such a wonderful surprise I wanted to put my two cents worth in. I definitely look forward to trying other recipes from A Sassy Spoon as a result.
