Campfire Sweet Potato & Sausage Hash
A rustic dinner hash of caramelized sweet potatoes, smoked sausage, bell peppers, and onions, cooked in a cast iron skillet directly over the fire—smoky, sweet, and deeply satisfying.
Equipment
- Cast iron skillet
- long-handled spatula
- Knife
- Cutting board
Ingredients
- 2 tbsp olive oil
- 1 lb smoked sausage (kielbasa or andouille) sliced
- 2 medium sweet potatoes peeled and diced
- 1 large yellow onion chopped
- 1 large red bell pepper chopped
- 1 tsp smoked paprika
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 1/4 tsp black pepper
- 1/4 cup fresh parsley chopped, for garnish
Instructions
- Heat olive oil in a cast iron skillet over medium campfire heat. Add sausage and cook 3–4 minutes until browned.
- Add sweet potatoes, onion, and bell pepper. Sprinkle with paprika, salt, and pepper. Stir to combine.
- Cover skillet loosely with foil. Cook, stirring occasionally, for 18–20 minutes, until sweet potatoes are tender and caramelized.
- Uncover, taste for seasoning, and sprinkle with parsley before serving.
Notes
Dicing potatoes small helps them cook faster over the fire. Keep coals moderate to prevent burning and stir occasionally for even browning.
