PIN Buffalo Chicken Paleo Sweet Potato Hash
(Originally posted in 2014, updated January 2019. Narration not changed)
I dislike sports.
Basketball, football, curling (Wikipedia told me it’s a sport, don’t look at me like that), hockey… you name it, it’s not for me.
Are you judging the Canadian for hating hockey?
The only sport I can get into is Olympic Figure Skating. Which may or may not have to do with the fact that there are pretty dresses and lots of sparkles.
Like I told you in last weeks crock pot low carb buffalo chicken soup, Mr. FFF, however, is a sports FANATIC. Especially football. And by “fanatic” I mean he has multiple old games taped so that he can re-watch them when the season is over.
Which is basically how this buffalo chicken sweet potato hash recipe was born.
It was a lovely, Saturday morning. I woke up excited to spend the day with my hubs, as Saturday is always “date day” for us.
That excitement went downhill x 12 when I went into our living room to find the hubby, eyeballs glued to an old rerun of a Huskers football game.
I immediately knew what date day was going to look like – “quality time” watching some football.
Whomp. Whomp. Whomp.
I had 2 options: 1) Pout and complain and generally be an annoying human being, or 2) Be the greatest wife EVER and make some game-day-style grub.
I chose option 2. Which, my friends, was the right choice.
Side note: I usually choose option 1. Not sure what came over me that day.
Now, what to make. I debated between our favorite Crockpot Healthy Buffalo Chicken Dip, Buffalo Chicken Egg Muffins OR paleo buffalo chicken casserole.
They all sounded good, but I was looking for something new. Something that would give me “Best Wife Ever” status.
Then, it dawned on me. It’s breakfast time. I could make a riff on his fav sweet potato hash Browns and make a sweet potato HASH with eggs would be the perfect, manly, comfort breakfast AND I had chicken sausage.
Plus, there’s that whole “buffalo chicken is on the most classic game day flavors of life” thing that we talked about last week.
How to make Sweet Potato Hash
- Peel and cube your sweet potatoes
- Place them a pot of boiling water and cook them until JUST tender. This is the SECRET to making the best sweet potato hash as it allows the insides of the potatoes to cook without the outsides burning.
- Add the potatoes and vegetables into a hot frying pan with oil and cook until golden brown. Then, add in your sausage and cook until brown.
- Make some spaces in the veggies and crack eggs into them. Cover and cook until they’re cooked to your desired done-ness
- DEVOUR
BOOM. A buffalo chicken sweet potato breakfast hash happened. Oh, and in only 30 minutes AND in one pan.
WINNER WINNER BUFFALO CHICKEN….breakfast? We’ll go with it.
My hubby? Well, let’s just say that we have eaten this paleo sweet potato hash morning since, even without watching sports games.
Nothing starts your day better than sausage, spicy, saucy goodness and runny egg yolks.
Nothing.

HAHAHA just had a convo about how good cheerios are–that’s a GOOOOD sign that your hash tastes amaaaazing!! 😉
Taylor Kiser says
Haha! That is TOO funny! Thanks Kirtley!

I totally understand why you’re moving. Sometimes when I look at other places I think I would like to live I immediately start looking at how much natural light it gets. I mean, that’s a deal breaker. How cool is it that you get a new swanky kitchen, too! This dish, btw, looks so delish. My husband would give me wife of the year if I fixed this for him one morning. 🙂
Taylor Kiser says
It totally is a deal breaker, thank you for understanding! 😉
Wife of the year? I am sure you already are! 🙂 But thanks Tiffany!
ashley-bakerbynature says
Omg girl, I feel you. We just moved last month and realized post-unpacking our place gets ZERO natural light. It’s been rough!!! At least you can eat hash and dream about your new kitchen 😉
Taylor Kiser says
OH NO! That is terrible!
I guess that is a silver lining, thanks friend!
Amanda @ Diary of a Semi-Health Nut says
haha you have a nice partner. Mine would have NEVER gone for that! I realized after living with my dad for a couple of years he had the. best. lighting because nowhere I’ve lived since has compared. Our windows face an inner courtyard but we are luckily high enough that we get a liiitle light. Still can’t wait to move to a freaking house so I can have an actual spot to set up photography. Instead of at the foot of our bed or on the living room couches lol!
Taylor Kiser says
Oh an, isn’t it the worst when you have to leave gorg lighting conditions?!
It’ll be my first time have a room devoted to shooting, so I am pumped! 😀
Zainab @Blahnik Baker says
Hahha I will totally move too if there are trees blocking my light! No judgements here 🙂 Love love this hash girl!!
Taylor Kiser says
I’m glad it’s not just me – thanks friend!
Ilona @ Ilona's Passion says
Great recipe ….and I am hungry right now, I would definitely eat this:)
Taylor Kiser says
Haha I wish I could share, thank you!
taylor @ greens & chocolate says
Girl you are hilarious. But I totally get the moving situation! We just bought a house in May and good lighting was definitely a requirement! p.s. THIS HASH! We must both be on buffalo wavelengths today 😉
Taylor Kiser says
I KNOW YOU DID! That is so exciting! Belated congrats!
THANKS girl! Here I go to check out your wavelength 😉 It’s a Taylor thang!
Sarah @ The Gold Lining Girl says
Lighting is EVERYTHING to photos, as I’m learning more and more now that I *finally* have a big girl camera. Totally support you on that! 1 to Cheerios… that is hilarious. I should ask that of my S.O., but it would be 1 to bananas. He eats 4-5 a DAY! This breakfast looks awesome! Thank you for sharing!
Taylor Kiser says
HOLY MOLY, is he yellow?! That is insane!
Thank you Sarah!
Sarah @ The Gold Lining Girl says
LOL! I know, right? I’ve never seen anything quite like it! Haha. 🙂
[email protected]+Life's+Ambrosia says
Holy yum! I could eat this for breakfast any day, not just game days. I get a break from football this week, or at least stressful football since it’s the Hawks bye week. Which you know because your new living situation means you’re Hawks fans now, right? 😉
Taylor Kiser says
Haha oh yes..I am totally in on the Hawks 😉
Thanks girlfriend! We should meet for a lunch date!
