This Loaded Paleo Breakfast Hash is such a delicious hash for weekend BRUNCH or when you are craving breakfast for dinner! The spicy chicken sausage and bacon pair so perfectly with the sweet potato, onions, and peppers. It can be eaten as is for a veggie and protein filled breakfast, or topped with an egg!
Loaded Paleo Breakfast Hash
Normally when preparing sweet potatoes for breakfast I make these Roasted Cinnamon Sweet Potato Home Fries. But today, seeing as it was a ‘breakfast for dinner’ kind of night, I decided to be adventurous. I loaded up my skillet and cooked up a hash that was a huge hit. This loaded hash with eggs and hot sauce… I think I could be in heaven!
Ingredients Needed:
- Olive oil
- Garlic
- Sweet Potato
- Red Pepper
- Green Pepper
- Onion
- Tomato
- Chicken sausages
- Bacon
- Salt and pepper
- Baby spinach
This would also be a great make ahead breakfast idea that you can prep ahead of time on a Sunday and enjoy the next three mornings, with or without eggs! It’s great because it’s packed with veggies, protein and fat and will keep you satisfied for the whole morning!

Oh yum! This looks amazing!
Thank you!! Was so delicious.
This literally looks delicious!
Thanks Sarah! Made it for friends again yesterday, a big hit 🙂
How much does this make? I wAnt to make enough for my family of four.
Mine made enough for 4, depending on how large your sweet potato is and how much each person eats though! I would buy an extra sweet potato or two, chop up one and you’ll be able to have a sense of how much you’ll need for your family!
Thank you!
Is it 1/2 peppers and 1/2 onion or 1 cup each? How big a tomato do you recommend? Would a cup of chopped cherry tomatoes be enough?
1/2 a pepper, 1/2 an onion, chopped (or more if you’d like) — it is up to you how much tomato you want!
Just made this for brunch today for my family!! It was DELICIOUS and everyone agreed (served with fresh pineapple and strawberries). There were no leftovers! I made it for five adults (who all have great appetites) and it was perfect. I did increase amounts of each ingredient (about 2.5 medium sweet potatoes, 1 C sweet onion, 1.5 C red/green pepper, 2 roma tomatoes, 2 handfuls spinach) to make sure there was enough. Anyways, thanks for this recipe Lexi! My family asked me to save it and definitely make it again 🙂
SO happy you and your family enjoyed! Thanks for sharing!
This was DELICIOUS. I omitted the eggs and meat because I am Daniel fasting and it still was delicious! I can’t wait to try it with the eggs and meat in Feb. I don’t know if I will ever eat white potatoes again…well, I probably will…lol…thanks for the fantastic “clean” recipe…oh…I also added a bit of cayenne pepper…I like everything spicy! THANKS again!
I just made this and we LOVED it! I added some avocado and mushroom and used veggies sausage (we are loosely following a plaeoish diet) and it was delcious!!
Thanks for sharing!
This was incredible! My husband is not doing paleo with me on purpose, but when I just read him the ingredients list, he said, “Oh yes, please, that sounds yummy!” And he’s so picky! All the flavors were just perfect together. I needed a change-up from eggs and avocado. 🙂 Thank you so much for sharing this!! It was perfect.
I had been looking for some alternatives for breakfast besides my standard scrambled-eggs-and-bacon and this was great! Thank you for the recipe I’ll definitely be using it again! I used butternut pumpkin and chorizo sausage 🙂 I took a picture and put it on my blog if you want to see:

Thanks again!

Made this finally last night and it was wonderful. Thanks for the great, simple recipe!
Ingredients says red and green pepper , but no onion is listed. Is it onion instead of one of the peppers, or in addition?
Hi Barbara! Thanks for catching that. Just updated the post. It is in addition to the peppers!
