The combination of apple chicken sausage, potato, and diced apple come together for a flavorful and easy-to-make dinner hash. Put an egg on it and have this apple potato hash for breakfast, lunch, or dinner!
Apple potato hash with sausage
Think of this apple potato hash as an outline for SO many flavors. While I’m sure partial to the apple sausage + sautéed apple combo, you can mix it up and use a spicier sausage, or change the potato type and use sweet potato.
Let your mind (and pantry!) run with this one and get creative!
But first start with this classic combo. It works super well together. And we’re using frozen spinach which simplifies this dish even more! As always, put an egg on it and enjoy!
What you’ll need for this recipe
- avocado oil
- red potatoes
- apple chicken sausage
- green onion
- frozen spinach
- apple
- paprika
- sea salt
- pepper
- eggs
How to make apple potato hash
- Preheat a large skillet over medium-high heat with the oil. Add the potatoes and a pinch of sea salt. Saute for 15-20 minutes, until the potatoes are crispy on the outside and soft on the inside.
- Add in the sausage and onion next and saute for 5 minutes. Stir in the spinach to defrost for a couple of minutes. Add the diced apple, paprika, sea salt, and pepper. Heat the apples through, then pile on plates.
- Add a little oil to the pan and cook the eggs your favorite way. Add the eggs on top of your hash and enjoy!
Substitution ideas
- Instead of chicken apple sausage, use a spicier sausage
- Substitute red potatoes for yukon gold or sweet potato
- Use fresh spinach or fresh kale instead of frozen
- Red onion would be great sauted and added in

I used to make these hashes all of the time. It’s also fantastic with sweet potato!
Breakfast anytime!!! So good. Loving the sweet and savory combo. It is almost apple time!
I love the addition of apple sausages! Yum.
I’m glad you liked the recipe.
I’m loving this sweet and salty combo. And topped with that egg? A big yum. Have to make this one soon. Pinned
I make something similar to this, but it’s baked instead of sauteed. I never would have thought to add apple to it, sounds interesting!
We love breakfast for dinner too. Hashes are the best–cheap, easy, and delicious.
Definetely an interesting recipe. We often eat eggs for dinner!
I LOVE breakfast for dinner 🙂 And now I am SO in the mood for this potato, apple hash – I will definitely be giving this a try 🙂
I love BFD but the hubs, not so much. But something like this I might be able to just pass off as potatoes and sausage….
I just pinned your awesome recipe! Thanks for sharing and have a great day.
