Ingredients
Scale
Potatoes and Seasoning
- 4 large potatoes (Yukon Gold or Russet), diced
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 teaspoon salt
- ½ teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
- 1 teaspoon paprika
Sausage & Vegetables
- 12 oz Italian sausage, sliced (or preferred variety)
- 1 small onion, diced
- 1 red bell pepper, diced
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
Spicy Tomato Butter
- 1 can (14 oz) diced tomatoes, drained
- 3 tablespoons unsalted butter
- ½ teaspoon red pepper flakes (adjust to taste)
Garnish
- Fresh herbs for garnish (parsley or cilantro)
Instructions
- Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) to prepare for roasting the potatoes.
- Prepare Potatoes: In a large bowl, toss the diced potatoes with olive oil, salt, black pepper, and paprika until they are evenly coated with the seasoning.
- Roast Potatoes: Spread the seasoned potatoes evenly on a baking sheet. Roast in the preheated oven for about 20 minutes, tossing them halfway through to ensure even crisping. The potatoes should turn golden and crispy.
- Brown Sausage: While the potatoes roast, heat a skillet over medium heat. Add the sliced Italian sausage and cook for 5-7 minutes until browned on all sides.
- Sauté Vegetables: Add the diced onion and red bell pepper to the skillet with the sausage. Cook and stir until the vegetables soften, about 5 minutes.
- Add Garlic: Stir in the minced garlic and sauté for another 1-2 minutes, until fragrant but not burnt.
- Combine Potatoes and Sausage Mix: Once the potatoes are roasted, transfer them into the skillet with the sausage and vegetables. Gently mix to combine all the ingredients thoroughly.
- Make Spicy Tomato Butter: In a small saucepan, melt the unsalted butter over low heat. Add the drained diced tomatoes and red pepper flakes, stirring to combine. Let the mixture simmer gently for 3-5 minutes until heated through and flavors meld.
- Finish and Garnish: Pour the spicy tomato butter sauce over the potato and sausage hash in the skillet and toss lightly to coat. Garnish with freshly chopped parsley or cilantro before serving.
Notes
- Adjust the red pepper flakes in the tomato butter according to your preferred spice level.
- For a milder version, omit the red pepper flakes and use sweet paprika.
- You can substitute Italian sausage with chorizo or any other preferred sausage for different flavor profiles.
- Ensure potatoes are diced evenly for consistent roasting results.
- This dish pairs well with a fried egg on top for added protein and richness.
