Bramley Apple Sweet Potato Sausage Hash

* This post is sponsored by Great British Apples*

This is not your average potato hash recipe, this is a sweet potato hash with the addition of delicious tart apple chunks and veggie sausages as a good source of protein. It’s really quick and easy to put together and you can enjoy it for breakfast, lunch or dinner. The leftovers would also make a really nice side dish to other meals too.

If you’re not vegan/plant-based you can go ahead and top it with a couple of fried or poached eggs, although the sausages add more than enough protein to make it a filling and substantial meal as it is.

You don’t have to peal the potatoes and I certainly wouldn’t recommend peeling the apples. The skins help the chunks hold together, but it’s also a really nutritious part of the fruit so it would be a huge shame to waste.

This apple sweet potato sausage hash would also make a really good meal to take on-the-go. You can prepare it on a Sunday evening and divide it between 3-4 containers and you have your breakfast or lunch sorted for a few days. Such a fuss-free and delicious meal.

Great British Apples challenged me to create another recipe using their Bramley apples to showcase their versatility by moving away from the traditional crumbles/pies/sauces that are usually associated with Bramley apples. I don’t know about you, but when I think of apple recipes I instantly think of sweet/dessert recipes, when apples can be such a delicious addition to many savoury meals too. Bramley apples work really well in main meals as they’re high in malic acid, and so deliver a tangy taste without being too sweet.

This apple sweet potato sausage hash recipe is vegan, gluten-free and super delish! A must try if you’re looking for a quick, easy and healthy savoury meal idea 😀
