Notes

Top tips

Be sure to get a skillet with a well-fitting lid. You will need to steam the potatoes before coating them in oil and sauteing them. By steaming the potatoes first, you ensure the potatoes are well cooked without risking them burning in the pan.
Cut the sweet potatoes into ½ inch cubes, all similar size if possible. The larger the sweet potatoes, the longer they will take to cook. If you love your veggies to be larger in a hash, you may need to allow the potatoes to steam in about 1 cup of water for 10 minutes or so to ensure they are fully cooked before sauteing them.
No need to peel the sweet potatoes, but I do like to peel the apples. This is 100% optional, you can leave the apple skins on if you want.
To make a larger batch of this apple sweet potato hash, use the oven instead of the stove. See the steps below on how to make this in the oven.

How to make this hash in the oven (large batches or meal prep)

Start by preheating the oven to 425F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Cut the potatoes into ½ inch cubes and add them to the baking sheet. Drizzle them with olive oil and be sure to stir them around to distribute the oil as best as you can.
Bake the sweet potatoes in the oven at 425F for 10-15 minutes.
While the potatoes are roasting, peel and cut the apple and finely chop the fresh sage.
After 10-15 minutes, remove the sweet potatoes and add apple, salt, garlic powder and fresh sage. Stir well to fully distribute the spices.
Bake again at 425F for 10 minutes.
