A quick vegetable hash is one of my go-to’s for an easy elevated weekend breakfast. Vegetable hash is a wonderful way to get in a few extra servings of vegetables at breakfast!
I just love the pineapple in this recipe. It adds a ton of flavor to the dish and helps keep it lower sodium. Something about the combination of sweet potatoes and pineapple I just can’t get over it!
This recipe is very high in potassium. This is a good thing for some people with kidney disease, but may be too much for others. You can leave off the avocado, which would reduce the potassium to 584mg per 1 cup serving.
You can create your own hash by combining your favorite veggies and spices. Try an Italian inspired hash with potatoes, artichoke and tomato seasoned with basil, rosemary and thyme. Or, experiment with Greek flavors using potatoes, chickpeas, zucchini and a few olives seasoned with oregano and garlic. The possibilities are endless!
