Ingredients You’ll Need
To make this one filling and truly loaded with flavor, even without the egg, I went the sweet-savory route. Which is always my favorite way to go!
- Sweet potatoes, peeled and diced
- Avocado oil, olive oil, or ghee
- Ground pork, chicken, beef, or sausage
- Sea salt and black pepper
- Cinnamon, onion powder, garlic powder
- Sage and turmeric (optional)
- Apple (for natural sweetness)
- Kale, chopped
- Dried cranberries (optional)
How to Make Paleo Breakfast Hash
Heat 1-2 tablespoons oil or ghee in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the diced sweet potatoes and season generously with salt and pepper. Cook uncovered for about 2 minutes, stirring occasionally to brown.
Cover the skillet and reduce heat to medium. Cook another 3–5 minutes, stirring once, until the potatoes begin to soften.
Uncover and add the apples, kale, and a splash of water or broth. Cover again and cook for 1–2 minutes, then uncover and add half of the seasonings. Continue cooking uncovered until everything is tender and lightly browned.
In a separate skillet, brown the ground meat with the remaining oil, seasoning with salt, pepper, and the rest of the spices. Once fully cooked, remove from heat.
Add the browned meat to the potato mixture along with the cranberries, if using. Stir to combine and cook another 30 seconds until heated through. Serve immediately.
Tips for the Best Breakfast Hash
- Don’t overcrowd the pan or the potatoes won’t crisp
- Let the potatoes cook undisturbed briefly for better browning
- Use a large skillet for even cooking
- Add the meat at the end to keep textures distinct
- Adjust seasoning based on your sausage choice
Easy Variations
- Use ground sausage, or experiment with your favorite seasonings for flavor
- Swap kale for spinach, chard, or broccoli
- Skip cranberries or add in chopped nuts
- Add sliced avocado when serving for extra richness
How to Serve
This paleo breakfast hash is delicious on its own, but you can also:
- Serve with avocado slices
- Pair with a simple fruit side
- Add fried or poached eggs on top (optional, not required!)
Storage and Reheating
- Store in airtight containers in the refrigerator for up to 4 days
- Reheat in a skillet for best texture
- Microwave for a quick option
FAQs
Can I make this ahead of time?
Yes, this hash reheats well and is great for meal prep.
Is this Whole30 compliant?
Yes, as long as your sausage and cranberries meet Whole30 guidelines, with no added sugar. I love these fruit sweetened cranberries. You can also make my Whole30 breakfast sausage if you can’t find compliant sausage!
Can I freeze it?
You can freeze the hash, but texture is best when fresh or refrigerated.
Do I have to use kale?
No, you can substitute with other greens or vegetables.

Ingredients
- 2 medium-large sweet potatoes peeled and diced small (1/2”)
- 2-3 tablespoons avocado oil or olive oil, or ghee
- 1 lb ground pork OR chicken, or beef, or any ground sausage
- sea salt and black pepper
- 1 teaspoon cinnamon
- 1/2 teaspoon onion powder

- 2 1/2 cups kale chopped + 1-2 tablespoons water or broth
- 1/4 cup dried cranberries juice sweetened, if needed, for Whole30
Instructions
-
For this recipe, you’ll brown the meat separately from the potatoes, I like to do this in two skillets side by side, but you can also use the same one, browning the meat first and setting it aside.
-
In a large skillet, add 1-2 tablespoons oil or ghee and heat over med-high. Add the diced potatoes and sprinkle generously with salt and black pepper. Cook about 2 minutes uncovered, stirring to brown.
-
Cover the skillet and lower heat to medium, cook another 3-5 minutes, stirring once midway, until soft. Uncover and add apples, kale and water or broth, then cove again and cook 1-2 minutes, uncover and sprinkle with half of the cinnamon, onion and garlic powder and any other seasonings you choose. Continue to cook another minute uncovered or until toasty, stirring occasionally.
-
Brown the meat separately over medium high heat in about 1 tablespoon of oil or ghee, sprinkling with salt, pepper, and half the seasoning, once browned, set aside. If you're using sausage that's already seasoned, you can skip the seasonings.
-
Add the browned meat to potato, kale and apple mixture along with the cranberries, if using, and stir. Cook another 30 seconds to warm and then remove from heat and serve right away. Enjoy!
