Print Recipe

A cozy and hearty fall recipe combining sweet potatoes, apples, and fresh sage for a warm, flavorful hash perfect for breakfast, brunch, or dinner.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 medium sweet potatoes, peeled and cut into 1/2-inch chunks (about 1 lb)
  • 1 large apple (such as Honeycrisp or Fuji), cored and diced (about 7 oz)
  • 8–10 fresh sage leaves, chopped
  • 1 medium yellow onion, finely chopped
  • 2 garlic cloves, minced
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 tablespoon unsalted butter
  • Salt and black pepper, to taste
  • 1/2 teaspoon smoked paprika (optional)
  • Fresh parsley for garnish (optional)

Instructions

  1. Peel and chop sweet potatoes into 1/2-inch chunks. Core and dice the apple. Finely chop the onion. Mince the garlic cloves and roughly chop the sage leaves.
  2. Heat a large cast iron or heavy skillet over medium heat. Add olive oil and butter. Once butter melts and foams, add chopped sage leaves and infuse oil for about 1 minute until fragrant, watching carefully to avoid burning.
  3. Add chopped onion and sauté for 3-4 minutes until translucent and slightly golden. Add minced garlic and cook for another 30 seconds, stirring constantly.
  4. Add sweet potato chunks to the pan, spreading them evenly. Cook undisturbed for about 5 minutes to develop a crispy crust, then stir and continue cooking for 10-12 minutes until tender inside and golden outside.
  5. Add diced apples, smoked paprika (if using), salt, and black pepper. Stir gently and cook for another 5-7 minutes until apples soften but hold their shape. Adjust seasoning as needed.
  6. Remove sage leaves if desired or leave them for extra flavor. Sprinkle with fresh parsley if using.
  7. Serve warm immediately, optionally with eggs, sausage, or hot sauce.

Notes

To get crispier sweet potatoes, do not overcrowd the pan and let them cook undisturbed to develop a crust. Fresh sage is preferred for best flavor. For vegan version, replace butter with coconut oil or vegan margarine. Dusting sweet potatoes lightly with almond or gluten-free flour before cooking can increase crispiness. Apples should be added near the end to keep their shape and texture.
