- 2 large sweet potatoes, diced into 1/2-inch cubes
- 1 pound breakfast sausage, casings removed
- 1 yellow onion, diced
- 1 red bell pepper, diced
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)
Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the sausage and cook until browned, breaking it into small pieces with a spoon as it cooks.
Add the diced sweet potatoes to the skillet. Stir to coat them in the oil and sausage drippings. Cook for 10 minutes, stirring only once or twice so the potatoes can develop crispy edges.
Stir in the onion, red bell pepper, paprika, salt, and pepper. Continue cooking for another 8 to 10 minutes until the sweet potatoes are tender and the vegetables have softened.
Remove the skillet from the heat and sprinkle the chopped parsley over the top before serving.
For crispier potatoes, spread them in an even layer and avoid stirring too often during the first half of cooking. Leftovers reheat well in a skillet over low heat to restore texture. If you prefer a milder flavor, swap the breakfast sausage for a sweet variety.
