Ingredients

• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 1 tablespoon unsalted butter
• 4 medium (diced into small cubes) yellow potato
• 4 links (casings removed) sweet Italian sausage
• 1 medium (diced) yellow onion
• 1 (diced) red bell pepper
• 1 (diced) green bell pepper
• 3 (minced) garlic cloves
• 1 teaspoon dried oregano
• 1 teaspoon dried basil
• 0.5 teaspoons crushed red pepper flakes
• 1 cup (halved) grape tomatoes
• 2 cups fresh spinach
• 0.5 cups (grated) parmesan cheese
• 1 teaspoon (or to taste) kosher salt
• 0.5 teaspoons (or to taste) black pepper
• 4 (optional, for serving) eggs
• 2 tablespoons (chopped, for garnish) fresh parsley

Directions

Step 1

Heat a large skillet over medium heat and add 2 tablespoons of olive oil and 1 tablespoon of unsalted butter.

Step 2

Once the butter has melted, add the diced potatoes to the skillet. Season with 1/2 teaspoon of kosher salt and 1/4 teaspoon of black pepper. Cook for 10-12 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the potatoes are golden brown and crispy. Remove the potatoes from the skillet and set them aside.

Step 3

In the same skillet, add the sweet Italian sausage (with casings removed). Break it up into small pieces with a wooden spoon and cook for 5-7 minutes until fully browned. Remove the sausage from the skillet and set aside.

Step 4

Add the diced onion, red bell pepper, and green bell pepper to the skillet. Sauté for 3-4 minutes until softened.

Step 5

Stir in the minced garlic, dried oregano, dried basil, and crushed red pepper flakes. Cook for 1 minute until fragrant.

Step 6

Add the halved grape tomatoes to the skillet and cook for another 2-3 minutes until slightly softened.

Step 7

Return the crispy potatoes and cooked sausage to the skillet, then stir in the fresh spinach. Cook for 1-2 minutes until the spinach wilts.

Step 8

Sprinkle the grated parmesan cheese over the mixture and stir until evenly combined. Taste and adjust seasoning with more salt and pepper, if needed.

Step 9

If desired, fry or poach eggs separately and serve them on top of the hash.

Step 10

Garnish with freshly chopped parsley before serving. Enjoy!
